Distribution and Diversity of Coccolithophores in Surface Sediments of the Northern Red Sea: Coccolith Accumulation in Brine Pools and Observation of Productivity
Geochemistry and Life at the Interfaces of Brine-Filled Deeps in the Red Sea
The deep-sea brines of the Red Sea are unusual extreme environments and form characteristically steep gradients across the brine-seawater interfaces. Due to their unusual nature and unique combination of physical-chemical conditions these interfaces provide an interesting source of new findings in the fields of geochemistry, geology, microbiology, biotechnology, virology, and general biology. The current chapter summarizes recent and new results in the study of geochemistry and life at the interfaces of brine-filled deeps of the Red Sea
