According to [one scientist], the oil will have two main effects on marine life : first, it will blanket mud flats where it kills everything and destroys feeding grounds for birds; and second, it will cut out light and so prevent the growth of phyto-planktons.... Another scientist, a petroleum chemist... was even more pessimistic in his analysis. 2, record 1, English, - petroleum%20chemist

En collectant en cours de forage des informations sur la boue et le processus de forage, la diagraphie de boue fournit des données permettant d'évaluer aussi bien les formations que l'efficacité du forage. Pour ce qui est de l'analyse des formations, la diagraphie de boue complète la diagraphie par câbles et les mesures collectées au cours du forage. Pour ce qui est de l'efficacité du forage, la diagraphie de boue renseigne sur l'état dynamique du puits et permet d'optimiser les propriétés de la boue de forage. 5, record 2, French, - diagraphie%20de%20boue

SPI, or Sediment Profile Imagery, is an innovative and cost efficient method of surveying and/or monitoring lake or marine aquatic environments with a view to establishing the environmental status of these habitats or as part of a site suitability study.... SPI is based on single lens reflex(SLR) camera photography and computer-based image analysis which greatly accelerates the time required to write reports and provide relevant data to the client/legislator in a matter of weeks. SPI technology can readily quantify over 20 physical, chemical and biological parameters including : sediment grain size; prism penetration; surface pelletal layer; sediment surface relief; mud clasts; redox area; redox contrast; current apparent redox boundary; relict redox boundaries; methane gas vesicles; apparent faunal dominants; voids; burrows; surface features(e. g. worm tubes, epifauna, shell) ;dredged material; microbial aggregations; and successional stage. 1, record 5, English, - sediment%20profile%20imagery

Des photographies de profils sédimentaires obtenus de carottes prélevées à l'aide de carottiers en plexiglass Hargrave ont servi à mettre au point un moyen nouveau pour déterminer l'enrichissement en matières organiques. Des plongeurs autonomes prélèvent des carottes de sédiments pouvant aller jusqu'à 30 cm de longueur; une fois ramenées à la surface, les carottes sont photographiées, sous-échantillonnées et interprétées. L'interprétation repose sur la profondeur de discontinuité de l'oxydo-réduction et la présence ou l'absence d'organismes, de terriers et de vides, tels que révélés par les photographies numériques. On obtient ainsi un nombre intégré attribuable à l'indice d'enrichissement organique. M. Wildish a prouvé la justesse de cette méthode, appelée imagerie de profils sédimentaires (IPS), aux sites salmonicoles de la baie de Fundy et on prévoit aussi la mettre à l'essai à des installations semblables en Tasmanie (Australie). 1, record 5, French, - imagerie%20de%20profils%20s%C3%A9dimentaires
