| Notes | Studied sediment core samples "to determine the oxygen uptake rate of resuspended estuarine bottom sediments and the biodegradability of the organic matter released during resuspension." (from the Abstract) Samples were taken near Reedsport, at the mouth of the Smith River, and at the mouth of Butler Creek on the Umpqua River, at the mouth of Isthmus Slough and in the Slough at Coos Bay. The major professor was Frank D. Schaumburg. |
