Earth science in the urban ocean : the Southern California continental borderland / edited by Homa J. Lee, William R. Normark.
Section 1 deals with surficial seafloor mapping and characterization. Sections 2 and 3 deal with fundamental geologic and oceanographic processes that introduce, transport, and deposit sediment particles and contaminants in the Southern California Bight. The remaining three sections investigate the...
