Quantitative Chemical Mass Transfer in Coastal Sediments During Early Diagenesis: Effects of Biological Transport, Mineralogy, and Fabric

Abstract

The objective of this project is to make better predictions of chemical mass transfer in fine-grained siliciclastic coastal sediments, especially with regard to the impact of biologically-enhanced transport and the effects of sediment mineralogy, fabric, and particle surface chemistry on the fluxes of biochemical species and pollutants in coastal marine sediments. Production of a computer code is a prime objective.
