The role of the estuarine habitat mosaic in the trophic ecology and secondary production of coastal marine consumers.
Enzymatic capabilities and substrate uptake mechanisms of diverse bacterial communities in the Atlantic, Indian, and Southern Oceans Abstract: Microbial communities play essential roles in marine carbon cycling – their activities ultimately determine the fate of carbon assimilated by phytoplankton in … Read more
Wave transformation in coastal marshes Amid increasing frequency and intensity of storms, there is a growing need for resilient shoreline protection strategies, especially those that can also provide ecological and economic benefits to coastal communities. Coastal marshes, whether restored, … Read more
The convergence of different water masses on the shelf and along the shelfbreak, and cross-isobath shelf-open ocean exchanges contribute to the complex circulation near Cape Hatteras. To better understand the exchange between the continental shelf and the adjacent open ocean … Read more
