Sediment Profile Camera early publications (1982, 1986)

Because of the recent requests I've received for some of the first publications on the sediment profile camera, I've scanned both of the early publications (1982, 1986) and have them available for download as Adobe Acrobat files. The first is the original REMOTS paper "Characterization of Organism Sediment Relations Using Sediment Profile Imaging". The second is "Interpreting Long-Term Changes in Benthic Community Structure: A New Protocol".
