AMASSEDS (AMAzon Shelf SEDiment Study) is a large collaborative                 effort to study the freshwater discharge of the Amazon River over               the adjacent continental shelf.  Both geologists and chemists                   will work together with physical oceanographers to address                      processes involved in the transport of sediment and dissolved                   chemical species.  The focus of this component will be on the                   water structure, circulation, internal mixing, and bottom                       boundary-layer processes in the frontal zone where strong                       gradients of salinity, density and suspended sediment form.                     Shipboard hydrography and current measurements, a moored current                array, satellite-tracked drifters, and satellite AVHRR (Advanced                Very High Resolution Radiometer) data will be used.
