Material transport in the ocean mixed layer (OML) is an important component of natural
processes such as gas and nutrient exchanges. It is also important in the context of pollution …

Submerged aquatic vegetation has the potential to greatly improve water quality through the
removal of nutrients, particulates and trace metals. The efficiency of this removal depends …

Lakes play an important role in the global carbon cycle, emitting significant amounts of the
carbonic greenhouse gases, CO 2 and methane (CH 4). Nearly all lake studies have …

Methane emissions from lakes and reservoirs are a major natural source in the global
budget of atmospheric CH4. A large fraction of these emissions are due to diffusive transport …

The hydrodynamics within small boreal lakes have rarely been studied, yet knowing whether
turbulence at the air–water interface and in the water column scales with metrics developed …

Ponds are characterized by high biodiversity, intense biogeochemical cycling, and
susceptibility to anthropogenic impacts. Yet few studies have quantified the water velocities …

The assimilative capacities of estuaries and coastal seas for effluent discharges are
predominantly determined by the rates at which pollutant‐bearing effluents are first …

This chapter presents basic models for flow structure and material transport within regions
influenced by marsh vegetation, with emphasis given to emergent canopies that are more …

Lagrangian GPS drifter experiments, carried out in the surface layer of stratified Lake
Kinneret (Israel), are presented. Differential kinematic properties and Lagrangian statistics …

Velocity heterogeneity is characteristic of wetland systems and results in some influent water
remaining in the wetland for less than the expected residence time on the basis of volume …
