ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 



Ship time for collection of the sediment, 

 benthic fauna and water samples has been pro- 

 vided by the U.S. Coast Guard. We gratefully 

 acknowledge the help and support of Capt. T. 

 L. Roberge, the officers and crew of the 

 U.S.C.G.C. GLACIER. The generous assistance 

 and cooperation extended by Dr. M. C. Ingham 

 of the U.S. Coast Guard, Dr. P. W. Barnes, 

 Jim Trumbull, and John Croizat of the U.S. 

 Geological Survey, and Joe Dygas of the In- 

 stitute of Marine Science during .sample collec- 

 tion are greatly appreciated. Dr. D. C. Burrell 

 and Mr. Meng-Lein Lee are responsible for the 

 trace-metal analysis of sea water. Mr. George 

 J. Mueller identified the benthic fauna, and Dr. 

 Peter McRoy and Sam Stoker were concerned 

 with this aspect of work. We are indebted to 

 Dr. D. M. Hopkins, Marine Geology Section, 

 U.S. Geological Survey for his technical advice. 



The geological work has been supported by 

 the U.S. Geological Survey, Marine Geology 

 Branch, Contract 14-09-001-12559.
