The second largest zone of coastal hypoxia (oxygen-depleted waters) in the world is found
on the northern Gulf of Mexico continental shelf adjacent to the outflows of the Mississippi …

Seasonally severe and persistent hypoxia, or low dissolved oxygen concentration, occurs on
the inner‐to mid‐Louisiana continental shelf to the west of the Mississippi River and …

Water masses can become undersaturated with oxygen when natural processes alone or in
combination with anthropogenic processes produce enough organic carbon that is …

All species have evolved in the presence of disturbance, and thus are in a sense matched to
the recurrence pattern of the perturbations. Consequently, disturbances within the typical …

We present an analysis of extensive nutrient data sets from two river-dominated coastal
ecosystems, the northern Adriatic Sea and the northern Gulf of Mexico, demonstrating …

Numerous eurytolerant species of calcareous and agglutinated benthic foraminifera,
belonging to diverse suprageneric taxa, survive under modern dysoxia and su☐ ia (2-0 ml/l …

Coastal Ecosystem Processes, written by the renowned marine scientist Daniel Alongi,
describes how pelagic and benthic food webs, from beaches and tidal flats to the continental …

Abstract The Mississippi River system ranks among the world's top 10 rivers in freshwater
and sediment inputs to the coastal ocean. The river contributes 90% of the freshwater …

A clearer understanding of the causes and consequences of Gulf of Mexico hypoxia has
