Studies of seasonal and interannual variations of rates of              benthic processes and the cycling of material across the                        sediment-water interface and their relationship to particle                     fluxes are proposed.  The research seeks to determine the                       influence of seasonal changes in the input of particulate                       matter to the sea floor on sediment reactions, fluxes of                        dissolved components across the interface, biological activity                  as it affects sediments, and the preservation of CaCO3 in the                   sediments.  In this fashion we seek to evaluate the influence                   of events in the surface ocean upon benthic rates and                           processes.  The site chosen, off Bermuda, is characterized by                   conditions found in many areas of the ocean making the                          conclusions drawn applicable beyond the immediate study area.                           Research on the factors governing the preservation of                   CaC03 in sediments on a regional scale is also proposed.  These                 studies are focussed upon evaluating the effects on bottom                      water saturation state and organic matter metabolism upon rates                 and the extent of post-deposition dissolution of CaC03.  The                    studies would be carried out on a transect of the east coast of                 the United States.
