Land use is rapidly changing in coastal watersheds, with implications on eutrophication of
coastal watersheds. The long-term consequences of climate change on these impacts are …

Excessive input of nitrogen to estuaries and coastal waters leads to eutrophication; the
resulting organic matter over-enrichment of sediments and seasonal hypoxia of bottom …

The Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island is a complex mosaic of human activities and
environmental features and while spatial distributions of physical, chemical, and biological …

Blooms caused by the green macroalga Ulva pose a serious threat to coastal ecosystems
around the world. Despite numerous studies of the causes and consequences of these …

Narragansett Bay is an urban estuary that historically has been impacted by long-term
discharge of sanitary wastewater (WW) effluents. High-density water sampling was …

The behavior and fate of pharmaceutical ingredients in coastal marine ecosystems are not
well understood. To address this, the spatial and temporal distribution of 15 high‐volume …

Nitrogen (N) cycling microbial communities in marine sediments are extremely diverse, and
it is unknown whether this diversity reflects extensive functional redundancy. Sedimentary …

Macroalgal blooms occur in shallow, low-wave energy environments and are generally
dominated by fast-growing ephemeral macroalgae. When macroalgal mats undergo …

Many urban estuaries worldwide suffer from excess phytoplankton and hypoxia (low
oxygen) due to high nutrient loads. A common water quality management strategy is to …

Low dissolved oxygen events were characterized in Narragansett Bay (NB), a moderate-size
(370 km 2) temperate estuary with a complex passage/embayment geometry, using time …
