The authors discussed how there are benthic marine organisms that are characterized by a “bipartite life history in which populations of sedentary adults are connected by oceanic transport of planktonic propagules”. In their findings, they argue that there is a more quantitative view of a scale in the study of marine dispersal processes. This is because of the marine process of transport.

In their study, Lin and Jeng conducted a study to see the influence of clay content based on the ‘wave-induced- liquefaction’ in marine sediments. They experimented with one dimensional equipment in a series of 3,000 wave cycles. They examined how the marine processes affect the clay content in marine sediments and found how the clayey sandy deposit is more prone to liquefaction with the increase of clay content, depending on the clay.
