The lower shoreface provides the connection between the continental shelf and the
shoreline via its onshore transition called the upper shoreface. Lower shorefaces are …

Bays in coastal upwelling regions are physically driven and biochemically fueled by their
interaction with open coastal waters. Wind-driven flow over the shelf imposes a circulation in …

Exchange of material across the nearshore region, extending from the shoreline to a few
kilometers offshore, determines the concentrations of pathogens and nutrients near the …

The inner continental shelf, which spans water depths of a few meters to tens of meters, is a
dynamically defined region that lies between the surf zone (where waves break) and the …

The temperature in the coastal ocean off the northeastern US during the first half of 2012
was anomalously warm, and this resulted in major impacts on the marine ecosystem and …

Ocean surface winds, currents, and waves play a crucial role in exchanges of momentum,
energy, heat, freshwater, gases, and other tracers between the ocean, atmosphere, and ice …

In plankton ecology, biological and physical dynamics are coupled, structuring how plankton
interact with their environment and other organisms. This interdisciplinary field has …

Cross-shelf exchange dominates the pathways and rates by which nutrients, biota, and
materials on the continental shelf are delivered and removed. This follows because cross …

Surface and subsurface moored buoy, ship-based, remotely sensed, and reanalysis
datasets are used to investigate thermal variability of northern Gulf of Alaska (NGA) …

Onshore volume transport (Stokes drift) due to surface gravity waves propagating toward the
beach can result in a compensating Eulerian offshore flow in the surf zone referred to as …
