| Abstract: | This special issue of Geo-Marine Letters, “Benthic Boundary Layer Processes in the Lower Florida Keys,” includes 12 papers that present preliminary results from the
Key West Campaign. The Dry Tortugas and Marquesas Keys test sites were selected by a group of 115 scientists and technicians
to study benthic boundary layer processes in a carbonate environment controlled by bioturbation and biogeochemical processes.
Major activities included remote sediment classification; high-frequency acoustic scattering experiments; sediment sampling
for radiological, geotechnical, biological, biogeochemical, physical, and geoacoustic studies; and hydrodynamic studies using
an instrumented tetrapod. All these data are being used to improve our understanding of the effects of environmental processes
on sediment structure and behavior. |
