Composition, Texture and Diagenesis of Carbonate Sediments: Effects on Benthic Optical Properties

Abstract

Our long-term goal is to understand how physical and chemical characteristics of bottom sediment affect the optical properties of the shallow sea floor. Of particular interest is sorting out how inorganic and organic parameters of the sediment interrelate to determine benthic light fields.
