This paper has two purposes. The first is to use tidal-monthly variations in the density and
velocity fields and the salt and water transports as key to understanding the circulation of the …

The fish community of the Columbia River Estuary was sampled with trawl, beach seine, and
purse seine over an 18 month period during 1980–1981. Seasonality of abundance and …

ABSTRACT The Columbia River estuary is a dynamic system in which estuarine turbidity
maxima trap and extend the residence time of particles and particle-attached bacteria over …

This paper investigates the interplay between river discharge and winds in forcing coastal
buoyant outflows. During light winds a plume influenced by the Earth's rotation will flow …

River Influences on Shelf Ecosystems (RISE) is the first comprehensive interdisciplinary
study of the rates and dynamics governing the mixing of river and coastal waters in an …

Microbial communities mediate the biogeochemical cycles that drive ecosystems, and it is
important to understand how these communities are affected by changing environmental …

A significant fraction of the particulate organic material entering the Columbia River estuary
(USA) is metabolized or altered before it is carried out to the ocean. Estuarine turbidity …

A new morphological-behaviour model is used to simulate evolution of coastal morphology
associated with cross-shore translations of the shoreface, barrier, and estuary. The model …

Our previously published research was one of the pioneering studies on the use of
metagenomics to directly compare taxonomic and metabolic properties of aquatic …

Consumption processes at several trophic levels tend to coverage in the central (estuarine-
mixing) region of the Columbia River estuary, where living and dentrital food resources are …
