TL;DR: Pore fluid studies showed that relatively fresh to brackish water occurs beneath much of the Atlantic continental shelf, whereas increases in salinity off Georgla and beneath the Florida-Hatteras slope suggest buried evaporitic strata.

The release of dissolved nutrients and metals from coastal sediments due to resuspension
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the release of dissolved metals (iron, manganese, silver, copper, and lead) and nutrients due to resuspension in Boston Harbor, Massachusetts, USA.

Role of sediment resuspension in the remobilization of particulate-phase metals from coastal sediments.
TL;DR: Results indicate that sediment resuspension is a very important mechanism for releasing metals into the water column and provide new insight into the chemical and physical processes controlling the long-term fate of trace metals in contaminated sediments.

Transport of sludge-derived organic pollutants to deep-sea sediments at deep water dump site 106
TL;DR: Findings clearly indicate that organic pollutants derived from dumped sludge are transported through the water column and have accumulated on the deep-sea floor.

Metal concentrations in surface sediments of boston harbor—Changes with time
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations of metals in surface sediments of Boston Harbor have decreased during the period 1977-1993, which is supported by analysis of surface sediment collected at monitoring stations in the outer harbor between 1977 and 1993; and historical data from a contaminated-sediment database.
