Marine circulation above the northern Brazilian continental shelf is subject to energetic
forcing factors of various origins: high water buoyancy fluxes induced by the Amazon River …

Globally, rivers deliver significant quantities of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to the
coastal ocean each year. Currently, there are no viable estimates of how much of this N and …

We examined the occurrence of seasonal hypoxia (O2< 2mgl− 1) in the bottom waters of
four river-dominated ocean margins (off the Changjiang, Mississippi, Pearl and Rhône …

Seawater samples were collected monthly in surface waters (2 and 5 m depths) of the Bay of
Marseilles (northwestern Mediterranean Sea; 5° 17'30" E, 43° 14'30" N) during one year …

Hydrological and currentmeter observations were collected on the continental shelf and
slope of the Gulf of Lion during the FETCH experiment (13 March to 15 April 1998). Results …

Seasonal water circulation and residence times in the large (150 km 2) and shallow (1.3 m
average dry season depth) Nokoué Lagoon (Benin) are analyzed by means of numerical …

Dispersal is a key process in metacommunity dynamics, allowing the maintenance of
diversity in complex community networks. Geographic distance is usually used as a …

Ocean color satellite sensors are powerful tools to study and monitor the dynamics of
suspended particulate matter (SPM) discharged by rivers in coastal waters. In this study, we …

ADCP, thermosalinograph, and meteorological data were collected during a short cruise
(SARHYGOL 3; June 13–15, 2000) throughout the Gulf of Lions, NW Mediterranean Sea …

Modern sediment deposits on continental margins form a vast reservoir of particulate matter
that is regularly affected by resuspension processes. Resuspension by bottom trawling on …
