May 6, 2020 · Rivers, estuaries, and deltas are key to understanding the chemical structure of seawater, and are home to some of the world's most diverse ecosystems.

Sep 16, 2019 · How does an estuary work? From a physicist’s point of view, the density difference between fresh and salt water makes estuaries interesting. When river water meets sea water, …

Southward (down-estuary) winds generate downwelling on the western shore and may tilt the isopycnals toward the vertical direc-tion, reducing stratification. On the other hand, moderate …

The salinity distribution in Figure 2 shows that there is a well-defined subterranean estuary beneath the head of the Bay. This subterranean estuary has a narrow seepage face where …

Here, we implement a simple reaction network in a 1D reactive transport model (RTM), to investigate the effect of O2 and pH gradients along a flow-line in the subterranean estuary of …

Lateral trapping of sediment in a partially mixed estuary. In 8th International Biennial Conference on Physics of Estuaries and Coastal Seas, 1996. A. A. Balkema: Rotterdam, The Netherlands, …

A tidally and cross-sectionally averaged model based on the temporal evolution of the quasi-steady Hansen and Rattray equations is applied to simulate the salinity distribution and vertical …

The goal here is to characterize and quantify turbulent mixing in a tidal salt wedge estuary, including how much mixing occurs, when mixing happens during the tidal cycle, where mixing …

the subterranean estuary in Waquoit Bay. In this case, taking into account the average slope of the land surface, the seawater infiltration along the beachface could be ex-tended significantly …

The small and confined nature of the sub-terranean estuary in Waquoit Bay allows these two papers to provide an in-depth study of the major biogeochemical reactions operating on the …
