Description

Summary

Piano Finalizzato Oceanografia e Fondi Marini - The bottom sediments of the coastal zone in the northern Adriatic Sea were studied with the aim to determine their properties, their relations with the contaminant elements, their significance as tracers of the provenance of sediments, transport pathways and the settling conditions. The data are mentioned in Tables reported in some papers (see reference).
