TY - JOUR T1 - The use of mineral magnetic measurements to study the transport and sedimentation of particles in the Gulf of Lions (NW mediterranean) A1 - Scoullos,Mj A1 - Zeri,C UR - https://archimer.ifremer.fr/doc/00099/21074/ KW - MAGNETIC PARAMETERS KW - SEDIMENTS KW - ANTHROPOGENIC KW - GULF OF LIONS KW - SAHARAN DUST N2 - Mineral magnetic and chemical studies indicate the impact and great importance of atmospheric versus riverine input of particles in the sediments of the Gulf of Lions and provide some strong indications about the presence of anthropogenic particles in offshore deep sediments of this region. The data indicate that Saharan dust and anthropogenic particles coexist at several depth intervals in the sediment, supporting the hypothesis that Saharan dust episodes could play an important role in facilitating deposition and coprecipitation of anthropogenic particles from the atmosphere and the water column.
