Based on a vast set of in situ data, a first comprehensive overview of the oceanographic
characteristics of Baía de Todos os Santos (BTS) is provided. BTS is the second largest …

Turbidity increase is one of the main stressors to coral reefs. It affects light availability and
will act together with global sea level rise to reduce potential photosynthesis that is important …

O objetivo do presente estudo é caracterizar a hidrodinâmica e o transporte de material
particulado em suspensão (MPS) no estuário de Caravelas sob diferentes condições de …

The continental shelf off the coast of central Brazil, extending from 10 to 16° S, is unusually
narrow (~ 20 km) and rests on the São Francisco craton. The shelf break is located between …

Existem controvérsias sobre a nomenclatura e a delimitação da zona de transição entre o
manguezal e a terra firme, comumente conhecida por apicum. Essa zona vem sendo …

The circulation and transport of suspended particulate matter in the Caravelas Estuary are
assessed. Nearly-synoptic hourly hydrographic, current (ADCP velocity and volume …

This paper assesses the fine sediment fluxes in the Caravelas estuarine system (Bahia,
Brazil, 17 o 45'S and 039 o 12'W). The estuary reaches the ocean at the shore across from …

High sedimentation is often related to stress in coral reef communities. Most southwestern
Atlantic reefs are characterized by high sedimentation. However, there are no temporal …

Large parts of tropical coastlines are influenced by the presence of reefs that shape its
coastline. Wave attenuation crossing reefs as they approach the coast results in accretionary …

The inner shelf circulation on the Abrolhos Bank is investigated using four years (2002–
2005) of moored current and bottom pressure observations from two sites in conjunction with …
