The Mississippi River currently delivers approximately 1.82 Tg N year− 1 (1.3× 1011 mol N
year− 1) to the northern Gulf of Mexico. This large input dominates the biological processes …

Western Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABT) undertake long-distance migrations from rich feeding
grounds in the North Atlantic to spawn in oligotrophic waters of the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) …

The world's ten largest rivers transport approximately 40% of the fresh water and particulate
materials entering the ocean. The impact of large rivers is important on a …

We examined the occurrence of seasonal hypoxia (O2< 2mgl− 1) in the bottom waters of
four river-dominated ocean margins (off the Changjiang, Mississippi, Pearl and Rhône …

Eutrophication has become increasingly serious and noxious algal blooms have been of
more frequent occurrence in the Yangtze River Estuary and in the adjacent East China Sea …

From November 2002 to 2006, five cruises were undertaken in the Yangtze River Estuary
and the adjacent East China Sea to compare the nutrient concentrations, ratios and potential …

Diatoms are often a major food source for zooplankton and contribute significantly to vertical
POC flux through sinking of dead cells, aggregates and zooplankton fecal pellets. The silica …

In this review, we use data from field measurements of biogeochemical processes and
cycles in the Mississippi River plume and in other shelf regions of the northern Gulf of …

We investigated seasonal variability in organic carbon (OC) budgets using a physical-
biological model for the Mississippi River turbidity plume. Plume volume was calculated from …

The sources, distribution, and fate of particulate organic matter (POM) in estuaries are
dynamic and complex, influenced by highly intensive human activities and high productivity …
