Aquatic environments experiencing low-oxygen conditions have been described as hypoxic,
suboxic, or anoxic zones; oxygen minimum zones; and, in the popular media, the misnomer …

A quantification of carbon fluxes in the coastal ocean and across its boundaries with the
atmosphere, land, and the open ocean is important for assessing the current state and …

The contribution of continental shelves to the marine carbon cycle is still poorly understood.
Their preindustrial state is, for one, essentially unknown, which strongly limits the …

Buoyant cross-shelf river plumes can extend far offshore through the combined effect of
buoyancy and wind forcing, creating a critical land-ocean link in global biogeochemical …

Rivers deliver large amounts of fresh water, nutrients, and other terrestrially derived
materials to the coastal ocean. Where inputs accumulate on the shelf, harmful effects such …

River plumes are a dominant forcing agent in the coastal ocean, transporting tracers and
nutrients offshore and interacting with coastal circulation. In this study we characterize the …

Riverine nutrient export is an important process in marine coastal biogeochemistry and also
impacts global marine biology. The nitrogen cycle is a key player here. Internal feedbacks …

Extensive black shale deposits formed in the Early Cretaceous South Atlantic, supporting the
notion that this emerging ocean basin was a globally important site of organic carbon burial …

A common notion is that negative feedbacks stabilize the natural marine nitrogen inventory.
Recent modeling studies have shown, however, some potential for localized positive …

High-resolution simulations by the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) were used to
investigate the dispersal of the San Francisco Bay (SFB) plume over the northern-central …
