…that would help understand biological and physical processes which might transport sediment and contaminants on the deep ocean seafloor. Additionally, previous research suggests that the contaminants at the deep dumpsites have a distinct chemical fingerprint that could be traced into the marine food web including into marine mammals. With this…
