Dec 19, 2025 · 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, the …

In the absence of rotational effects, stratification in the estuary decreases following both down-estuary and up-estuary winds, but stratification experiences larger reduction and takes longer to recover …

Abstract A tidally averaged model of estuarine dynamics is used to estimate sediment transport in the Hudson River estuary over the period 1918 to 2005. In long-term and seasonal means, along …

Walker, S.E., Dickhut, R.M., Chisholm-Brause, C., Sylva, S., and Reddy, C.M., Molecular and isotopic identification of PAH sources in a highly industrialized urban estuary, Organic Geochemistry, 2005; …

Many studies have used the unique geochemical signal originating from the subterranean estuary to determine rates of transport of such cons- tituents to the coastal ocean via submarine groundwater …

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 Waquoit Bay (Cape …

[1]In the stratified rotating estuary of Chesapeake Bay, the Ekman transport drives a counterclockwise lateral circulation under down-estuary winds and a clockwise lateral circulation under up-estuary …

The Río de la Plata estuary in South America features the longest tide-gauge records in the South Atlantic. Despite the relevance of these data for large-scale circulation and climate studies, the …

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 zero salinity …
