One of the challenging tasks in modern aquatic remote sensing is the retrieval of near-
surface concentrations of Total Suspended Solids (TSS). This study aims to present a …

Key features: Captures the historic context and recent developments in science and policy
arenas that address the potential for coastal wetlands to be considered as significant …

Submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) has well-documented effects on water clarity. SAV
beds can slow water movement and reduce bed shear stress, promoting sedimentation and …

Frequent invasions in coastal ecosystems result in novel species interactions that have
unknown ecological consequences. Largemouth Bass Micropterus salmoides and Brazilian …

Abstract Region Ventura River watershed, California, USA Focus After wildfire, small

This paper, part of the collection of research comprising the State of Bay–Delta Science
2016, describes advances during the past decade in understanding flow dynamics and how …

Submersed aquatic plant (SAP) communities are important determinants of estuarine and
lacustrine food web structure, nutrient cycling, and water quality. Variation in water quality …

Quantifying suspended sediment loads is important for managing the world's estuaries in the
context of navigation, pollutant transport, wetland restoration, and coastal erosion. To …

Variations in suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs) in coastal areas affect both
geomorphology and biological environment. In this study, more than 82,000 surface-water …
