Sedimentary Environments in Apalachicola Bay and Vicinity, Florida

SEPM Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1963
ABSTRACT The distribution patterns of the sediment and the various characteristics in Apalachicola Bay and vicinity, Florida, are clearly defined and greatly influenced by the submarine topography. Analysis shows a slight variability in the mean grain size and in the carbonate content between the basins and the shoals.

Phytoplankton Spatial Variability in the River-Dominated Estuary, Apalachicola Bay, Florida

Estuaries and Coasts, 2018
In shallow estuaries with strong river influence, the short residence time and pronounced gradients generate an environment for plankton that differs substantially in its dynamics from that of the open ocean, and the question arises “How is phytoplankton biomass affected?” This study assesses the small-scale spatial and temporal distribution of ...

Fresh Water Inflow and Oyster Productivity in Apalachicola Bay, FL (USA)

Estuaries and Coasts, 2011
Apalachicola Bay lies at the mouth of the Apalachicola River, where seasonally variable freshwater inflows and shifting winds have long been thought to contribute to the support of an unusually productive and commercially important oyster fishery. Links between the river and productivity have been shown to lie in salinity-induced reductions in oyster ...

Sediment Deposition in Apalachicola Bay, Florida: a 200 Year Chronicle

AAPG Bulletin, 2001
ABSTRACT Apalachicola Bay, Florida is the terminus of the state's largest river system. Economically, the bay is of considerable value and provides a significant income to a large proportion of the nearby population by virtue of its fishing industry.

Remote Sensing for Water Quality Monitoring in Apalachicola Bay, USA

2010
In this paper, we provide a review on remote sensing of water quality in coastal and estuarine ecosystems. As a case study, we further describe the use of remote sensing to estimate total suspended solids (TSS) and chlorophyll-a in an estuarine ecosystem, Apalachicola Bay, which is located along the northeastern Gulf of Mexico, USA. Based on the remote

CHARACTERISTICS OF LONG‐TERM FRESHWATER TRANSPORT IN APALACHICOLA BAY¹

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, 2001
ABSTRACT: Long‐term freshwater transport is an important factor affecting estuarine aquatic ecosystems. In this study, a primitive equation, prognostic, three‐dimensional, hydrodynamic model was applied to Apalachicola Bay, Florida, for the summer and fall seasons of 1993. In response to the river freshwater discharge, tide, and wind forces, the model

Sea-Level Rise Effects on Hurricane-Induced Salinity Transport in Apalachicola Bay

Journal of Coastal Research, 2014
ABSTRACT Huang, W.; Hagen, S.C.; Bacopoulos, P., and Teng, F., 2014. Sea-level rise effects on hurricane-induced salinity transport in Apalachicola Bay. Salinity is an important indicator for estuarine ecosystem. Estuarine salinity can be affected by hurricane and sea-level rises.

Survey and genetic characterization ofVibrio choleraein Apalachicola Bay, Florida (2012–2014)

Journal of Applied Microbiology, 2019
A small outbreak of gastroenteritis in 2011 in Apalachicola Bay, FL was attributed to consumption of raw oysters carrying Vibrio cholerae serotype O75. To better understand possible health risks, V. cholerae was surveyed in oysters, fish and seawater, and results were compared to data for Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus.Enrichment ...

Modelling residence‐time response to freshwater input in Apalachicola Bay, Florida, USA

Hydrological Processes, 2002
AbstractResidence time of an estuary can be used to estimate the rate of removal of freshwater and pollutants from river inflow. In this study, a calibrated three‐dimensional hydrodynamic model was used to determine residence time in response to the change of freshwater input in Apalachicola Bay.

Hydrodynamic Modeling of Hurricane Dennis Impact on Estuarine Salinity Variation in Apalachicola Bay

Journal of Coastal Research, 2014
ABSTRACT Huang, W.; Hagen, S., and Bacopoulos, P., 2014. Hydrodynamic modeling of Hurricane Dennis impact on estuarine salinity variation in Apalachicola Bay. Hurricane Dennis made landfall in Florida on 10 July 2005 and caused a storm surge of 2.4 m in Apalachicola.
