Abstract The Gulf of California (GC) presents several oceanographic features that make it
unique among semienclosed seas of similar latitude and dimensions, the most important …

The Colorado River delta in Mexico has been partially revegetated following 20 years of
water flows from the United States. Lake Powell, the last major impoundment built on the …

Human intervention in the hydrologic basin of the Colorado River has eliminated water
discharge and sediment supply to the river's mouth and its delta. After∼ 95 years of applying …

The almost total elimination of sediment supply from the Colorado River has produced a
condition of sediment starvation in the entire northern Gulf of California (NGC). Textural and …

The Upper Gulf of California is the shallow (depth< 30m), tidal area at the head of the Gulf of
California. It is an inverse estuary, due to the high evaporation rate (E∼ 1· 1myear− 1) and …

This work deals with phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) loads resulting from shrimp farming in
the NW coast of Mexico and a mass balance model for N and P is presented. Using such a …

We describe a new method for the calculation of river flow that uses the oxygen isotope
composition of bivalve mollusk shells that grew in the river-water/seawater mixing zone of …

A review of published research indicates that the Northern Gulf of California is, historically
and currently, one of the most biologically productive marine regions on Earth. This high …

The hydrography of the shallow (< 30m) Upper Gulf of California was mapped during a rare
Colorado River fresh water discharge, which occurred during March and April, 1993. This …

The Colorado River of the United States and Mexico is extensively dammed and diverted;
only a fraction of its previous flow still reaches its estuary. How has the lack of freshwater …
