The Role of Seabed Dynamics in Controlling the Distribution and Preservation of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) in Estuarine Sediments

Abstract

The overall goal of this study is to examine the role that energy regime and associated seabed dynamics (e.g., frequency and depths of resuspension) play in controlling the distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in estuarine sediments.
