A realistic numerical model is used to study the circulation and mixing of the Salish Sea, a
large, complex estuarine system on the United States and Canadian west coast. The Salish …

Abstract The Salish Sea, a large estuary on the Pacific Northwest coast, represents a great
tidal stream resource because of its strong tidal currents in many tidal channels. However …

Abstract The Salish Sea consisting of Puget Sound and Georgia Basin in US and Canadian
waters has been the subject of several independent data collection and modeling studies …

The ocean knows no political borders. Ocean processes, like summertime wind-driven
upwelling, stretch thousands of kilometers along the Northeast Pacific (NEP) coast. This …

Estuarine systems host a rich diversity of marine life that is vulnerable to changes in ocean
chemistry due to addition of anthropogenic carbon. However, the detection and impact of …

Maps of bottom type are essential to the management of marine resources and biodiversity
because of their foundational role in characterizing species' habitats. They are also urgently …

Predictions of the distribution of groundfish species are needed to support ongoing marine
spatial planning initiatives in Canadian Pacific waters. Data to inform species distribution …

This study investigates the sensitivity of a high resolution regional ocean model to several
choices in mixing and advection. The oceanographic process examined is a deep water …

We present a coupled three‐dimensional biological‐physical model for the Salish Sea and
evaluate it by comparison to nitrate, silicate, and chlorophyll observations. It accurately …

Biogenic habitats play important roles in shallow-water ecosystems, but their roles in deeper
waters are less well-studied. We quantitatively assessed 19 glass sponge reefs in the Salish …
