Diatoms as Hydrographic Tracers: Example from Bering Sea Sediments

CONSTANCE SANCETTA 1

1 Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory of Columbia University, Palisades, New York 10964

Variations in the distribution of diatom species in surface sediments mirror distinct hydrographic regimes on the Bering shelf. Spring salinity fronts divide the water column into four zones with different vertical structures and different productivity patterns. Four assemblages of diatoms can be distinguished in sediments underlying the zones.
