Roughly half of the human population lives near the coast, and coastal water pollution
(CWP) is widespread. Coastal waters along Tijuana, Mexico, and Imperial Beach (IB), USA …

Excessive nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) loading is one of the greatest threats to aquatic
ecosystems in the Anthropocene, causing eutrophication of rivers, lakes, and marine …

In contrast to large river plumes, Coriolis effects are weak, and inertia is quickly depleted so
that the fate and structure of small‐scale plumes are more sensitive to tide and wind …

Ocean currents, multiple fecal bacteria input sources, and jurisdictional boundaries can
complicate pollution source tracking and associated mitigation and management efforts …

Complex two-dimensional nearshore current patterns are generated by feedbacks between
sub-aqueous morphology and momentum imparted on the water column by breaking waves …

We present measurements at the mouth of Río Maipo, a small river that discharges into an
energetic surfzone on the coast of Chile, which document for the first time the plume …

The popular beaches of the San Diego‐Tijuana (US/MX) border region are often impacted
by untreated wastewater sourced from Mexico—via the Tijuana River Estuary (TJRE) and …

Dry weather pollution sources cause coastal water quality problems that are not accounted
for in existing beach advisory metrics. A 1D wave-driven advection and loss model was …

Transport of shoreline-released tracer from the surfzone across the shelf can be affected by
a variety of physical processes from wind-driven to submesoscale, with implications for …

The fate of discharges from small rivers and mountainous streams are little studied relative
to the dynamics of large river plumes. Flows from small watersheds are episodic, forming …
