1 DR. GRASSLE: "Particle flux and sediment dynamics." 



2 DR. BOTHNER: "Data on particle flux, sediment dynamics, the rates 



3 of sediment accumulation and the flux of potential contaminants." That 



4 is all right.

"The potential accumulation of contaminants." 



Yes, that is good. 



"Potential accumulation of contaminants." 



All right, remind me. 



Can you write that on the board, Mike? "Particle 



10 flux, sediment dynamics and rates of sediment accumulation." Is that 



11 what you had? 



12 DR. KRAEUTER: "Rates of contaminant accumulation" rather than 



13 "sediment accumulation." 



14 DR. MACIOLEK: That is why we have to write it 



15 down- -we cannot remember. 



16 DR. BOTHNER: Well, the problem is that sediment dynamics includes 



17 rates of sediment accumulation. 



18 DR. MACIOLEK: Well, then, say "including." 



19 DR. BOTHNER: How about "data on sediment transport?" How about 



20 that? 



21 DR. GRASSLE: The reason I like "particle flux" is that to me that 



22 implies the vertical flux. Why don't we put in "vertical particle 



23 flux?" 



24 DR. BOTHNER: "Vertical particle flux, sediment transport, rates 



25 of sediment accumulation-- 



26 DR. KRAEUTER: There may be a horizontal flux. 



27 DR. GRASSLE 



28 DR. BOTHNER 



29 DR. GRASSLE 



Yes, but that is in transport. 



That is in transport. 



I think a parenthesis--"(associated contaminant and 



30 potential contaminant accumulation)." 



31 DR. BOTHNER: "Data on as needed in the canyons of the North 



32 Atlantic area." Then, "The lack of this basic information inhibits our 



33 ability to make definitive conclusions."
