Mediterranean sapropels are layers with elevated organic carbon concentrations that
contrast with surrounding sediments, which are organic poor. Sapropels occur (quasi-) …

Recent advances in our understanding of estuarine circulation and salinity structure are
reviewed. We focus on well-and partially mixed systems that are long relative to the tidal …

The dynamics of lateral circulation in an idealized, straight estuary under varying
stratification conditions is investigated using a three-dimensional, hydrostatic, primitive …

The tidally varying circulation, stratification, and salt flux mechanisms are investigated in a
shallow salt wedge estuary where fluvial and tidal velocities are large and the steady …

A realistic hindcast simulation of the Salish Sea, which encompasses the estuarine systems
of Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Strait of Georgia, is described for the …

Dark organic-rich layers (sapropels) have accumulated in Mediterranean sediments since
the Miocene due to deep-sea dysoxia and enhanced carbon burial at times of intensified …

Process-product studies have been central to the development of process sedimentology
over the past few decades, with the ability to first measure flows, and then examine the …

A numerical circulation model with a simplified dissolved oxygen module is used to examine
the importance of wind-driven ventilation of hypoxic waters in Chesapeake Bay. The model …

The Beagle Channel (BC) is a long and narrow interoceanic passage (∼ 270 km long and 1–
12 km wide) with west-east orientation and complex bathymetry connecting the Pacific and …

The Mediterranean Sea provides a major route for heat and freshwater loss from the North
Atlantic and thus is an important cause of the high density of Atlantic waters. In addition to …
