Evaluation of the Potential for Dissolved Oxygen Ingress into Deep Sedimentary Basins during a Glaciation Event by Sergio A. Bea, Danyang Su, K. Ulrich Mayer, Kerry T. B. MacQuarrie

“…Simulation results indicate that the large-scale basin hydrostratigraphy, in combination with the presence of dense brines at depth, results in low groundwater velocities during glacial meltwater infiltration, restricting the vertical ingress of dilute recharge waters. Furthermore, several geochemical attenuation mechanisms exist for O2, which is consumed by reactions with reduced mineral phases and solid organic matter (SOM). …”

Multi-faceted examination of a deepwater seamount reveals ecological patterns among coral and sponge communities in the equatorial Pacific by Brian RC Kennedy, Steven Auscavitch, Timothy M. Shank, Constance Sartor, Anameere Tennaba, Alexis M. Weinnig, Randi D. Rotjan

“…Shallower than ~ 250 m, the mesophotic seafloor was composed of scoured carbonate pavement with sediment accumulation only found in rocky depressions. Waters below 500 m hosted communities predominantly composed of octocorals, however, several coral taxa showed seamount flank preference (higher abundance on one or more flanks than the others) even though strong vertical (depth) zonation of corals and sponges was observed on all flanks. …”

Morphometric Factors Controlling the Old and New Debris-Laden Floods in the South-Southwest Catchment Area of the Esence Mountains with the Example of Günebakan (Erzincan) Flood by Pınar Polat, İbrahim Kopar, Fatih Yalçın

“…In this context, with an approach that prioritizes the flood-overflow events occurring in the Günebakan Stream basin, areal, linear, and relief morphometric indices were used to determine the effect levels of the basin morphometry in the flood-overflow events that occur or are likely to occur on the existing running waters. In the analyzes carried out, it was observed that there was a close relationship between the morphometric structure of the relevant basins and the debris-laden floods. …”
