Protection of the environment has nowadays become a major challenge and a condi tion for
survival of future human generations and life on Earth in general. Yet it is still far too much of …

This study examines the integrated influence of sea level rise (SLR) and future morphology
on tidal hydrodynamics along the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) coast including seven …

AVHRR satellite imagery and in situ observations were combined to study the motion of a
buoyant plume at the mouth of Mobile Bay, Alabama. The plume extended up to 30 km from …

Urbanization and industrial development pressures have seriously impacted coastal
ecosystems, including vegetated intertidal and subtidal marine habitats such as barrier …

Abstract In September 1987 and May 1988 densities of larval fishes at the surface were
greater within the frontal zone of the Mississippi River plume than they were in plume or …

Light detection and ranging (Lidar) derived digital elevation models are widely used in
modeling coastal marsh systems. However, the topographic error in these models can affect …

From March through July 2011, an increased number of Kemp's ridley sea turtles
Lepidochelys kempii were reported stranded on the islands, beaches and shorelines of …

Abstract The Strait of Magellan is a 500 km long navigational waterway connecting the
South Atlantic and South Pacific oceans. On the Atlantic side, the Strait is characterized by …

The exchange of coastal waters between the Mississippi Sound (MSS), Mobile Bay, and
Mississippi Bight is an important pathway for oil and pollutants into coastal ecosystems. This …

As tides propagate inland, they become distorted by channel geometry and river discharge.
Tidal dynamics in fluvial‐marine transitions are commonly observed in high‐energy tidal …
