River Influences on Shelf Ecosystems (RISE) is the first comprehensive interdisciplinary
study of the rates and dynamics governing the mixing of river and coastal waters in an …

Frontal processes play a significant role in estuarine and coastal ecosystem dynamics. In
this study, a hydrodynamic model of the Changjiang River plume was developed based on …

Strong spatial gradients and rapidly evolving, three-dimensional structure make estuarine
fronts difficult to sample. Echosounders can be used near fronts to provide nearly synoptic …

We use near simultaneous ocean color satellite imagery from NASA's Landsat 8 and ESA's
Sentinel-2 missions to reconstruct surface currents along the northeastern shore of the Black …

The 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion caused∼ 7× 105 m3 of oil gushing from the
Northern Gulf of Mexico bottom. The close proximity of the rig to the Mississippi Delta raised …

A cruise survey of the Pearl River plume during southeasterly and southwesterly winds, two
typical wind patterns in summer in Guangdong coastal waters, is reported and the cruise …

Plume bulges were once thought to be less prone to form in an estuary with trumpet-like
characteristics, such as the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), where no plume bulge has previously …

Phytoplankton biomass in estuarine and continental shelf regions are regulated and
modified by physical processes, but these interactions have mostly been investigated at a …

Numerical simulations were performed using a 3‐D ocean circulation model (ROMS) two‐
way coupled to a phase‐averaged wave propagation model (SWAN), to expand our …

High-frequency internal waves propagating offshore in small river plumes are regularly
observed at satellite imagery in many world regions. In this work we describe a mechanism …
