    Radioactive waste disposal in the ocean
    Abstract
    This paper presents the methods used for the recovery of three low-level radioactive waste packages from deep ocean disposal sites in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The design of the recovery equipment and its utilization by the submersibles ALVIN and PISCES VI is described. Considerations for future waste disposal and recovery techniques are provided.

      What do paleo-geochemical tracers tell us about the deep ocean circulation during the last ice age? 

      LeGrand, Pascal (Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1994-09)
      Paleo-tracers such as carbon 13 and cadmium show that the deep Atlantic was enriched in nutrients during the Last Ice Age. The conventionally accepted interpretation of these higher nutrient levels is that a reduction ...
