Historical hydrographic data from the continental shelf off eastern South America are used to
examine the thermohaline properties of the water masses in the region between 20° S and …

The influence of the Plata, the second largest river in South America, extends along a
coastal strip of 1300 km. Historical hydrographic and wind data and numerical simulations …

Sedimentological parameters of 206 box-core tops and 387 van Veen grab samples were
analysed so as to understand the distribution, source and sedimentation rates in the shelf …

The waters dominating the Brazilian Continental Shelf to the south of Santa Marta Cape (28°
40′ S) are marked by their strong interannual variability. Both the seasonal oscillation of …

Beaches are fundamental habitats that regulate the functioning of several coastal processes
and key areas contributing to national and local budgets. In this study we provide the first …

A hydrographic climatology was created with the goal of establishing the mean hydrographic
conditions and oceanic waters intrusion mechanisms in the central and northern parts of the …

In the austral winter of 1993, during a COROAS hydrographic cruise in the South Brazil Bight
(SBB), an unexpected mass of cold and fresh water was observed on the continental shelf …

Extensive mud deposits superimposed on the predominantly sandy inner continental shelf
adjacent to the Patos Lagoon estuary, indicates that the Lagoon is a potential source of fine …

The integrity of global biological systems depends on two main processes linking biotic and
abiotic domains: plant photosynthesis and microbial regeneration. In the ocean, those …

Abstract Analysis of the hydrographic data collected during seven consecutive high
resolution summer/winter cruises in the central part of the South Brazil Bight off the coastal …
