A primary focus of coastal science during the past 3 decades has been the question: How
does anthropogenic nutrient enrichment cause change in the structure or function of …

In this review, using examples drawn from field observations or experimental studies, our
goals are (i) to briefly summarize the major changes, in terms of species composition and …

Estuaries are biogeochemical hot spots because they receive large inputs of nutrients and
organic carbon from land and oceans to support high rates of metabolism and primary …

The new edition of this widely respected text provides comprehensive and up-to-date
coverage of the effects of biological–physical interactions in the oceans from the microscopic …

Ocean processes are generally large scale on the US Pacific Northwest coast; this is true of
both seasonal variations and event-scale upwelling-downwelling fluctuations., which are …

Freshwater is scarce in many regions of the world. In some areas, water entitlements
currently exceed the available water supply yet few proposals for regulating quantities …

This paper describes a model for assessment of coastal and offshore shellfish aquaculture
at the farm-scale. The Farm Aquaculture Resource Management (FARM) model is directed …

A central challenge of coastal ecology is sorting out the interacting spatial and temporal
components of environmental variability that combine to drive changes in phytoplankton …

This paper reviews the current state of knowledge of the open waters of the San Francisco
Estuary. This estuary is well known for the extent to which it has been altered through loss of …

The development and distribution of phytoplankton blooms in estuaries are functions of both
