Internal nutrients dominate load and drive hypoxia in a eutrophic estuary
The hypothesis that local hypoxia and chlorophyll concentration are spatially tethered to local, sediment-driven nutrient release was examined in a...

Hydrodynamic modelling and shape optimisation of second-generation coastal reservoirs in consideration of algal bloom occurrence
Algal bloom has been a persistent problem for both fresh and marine water, with no exception for a coastal reservoir (CR). Among the algal bloom...

Numerical modeling of wave attenuation: implications of representing vegetation found in coastal saltmarshes in the Chesapeake Bay
Coastal communities are vulnerable to wave and storm surges during extreme events, highlighting the need to increase community resilience. The...

Modelling Physical and Chemical Processes of the Hypersaline Lake Urmia: Water Level Decline and Restoration by Water Conveyance
The decrease of the Lake Urmia water level from its peak around 1995 to present has had dramatic consequences for the lake ecosystem. To restore the...

A likely role for stratification in long-term changes of the global ocean tides
Stratification—that is, the vertical change in seawater density—exerts a subtle control on the energetics and thus the surface elevation of...

Operational forecasts of wave-driven water levels and coastal hazards for US Gulf and Atlantic coasts
Predictions of total water levels, the elevation of combined tides, surge, and wave runup at the shoreline, are necessary to provide guidance on...
