Plastics pose a major threat to aquatic ecosystems especially in smaller size fractions. Salt
marshes play a crucial role in maintaining the coastal zone and aquatic food web, yet their …

Daily, seasonal, and interannual/austral spring (among austral springs only) responses of
total ecosystem metabolism (EM) were studied for the first time for the Patos Lagoon estuary …

Integrated dissolved inorganic nutrient fluxes (nitrite, nitrate, ammonium, phosphate and
silicate) between Patos Lagoon estuary (PLE), Brazil, and the inner continental shelf of the …

Turbid coastal plumes carry sediments, nutrients, and pollutants. Satellite remote sensing is
an effective tool for studying water quality parameters in these turbid plumes while covering …

Abstract The Patos Lagoon estuary is a highly significant ecosystem where freshwater from
a vast and densely populated area continuously flows into the Atlantic Ocean by coastal …

Sediment transport and depositional processes in the Southwest Atlantic Inner Shelf are
strongly influenced by the contribution from Río de la Plata and Patos Lagoon fluvial …

The remote sensing of turbidity and suspended particulate matter (SPM) relies on
atmospheric corrections and bio-optical algorithms, but there is no one method that has …

Salt marshes are capable of mitigating metal pollution in coastal environments, yet the
efficacy of this remediation is contingent upon various environmental factors and the plant …

With the expansion of global trade and the growing traffic of increasingly larger ships to meet
this demand, the need to expand port infrastructure appears as the main alternative. In this …
