Biogeochemical Response of Apalachicola Bay and the Shelf Waters to Hurricane Michael Using Ocean Color Semi-Analytic/Inversion and Hydrodynamic Models

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Hurricanes are increasingly being recognized as important episodic drivers in ocean biogeochemical cycling; however, spatiotemporal response of their impacts on coastal and estuarine ecosystems are limited.

Collapse of a historic oyster fishery: diagnosing causes and identifying paths toward increased resilience

Ecology and Society, 2015
Diagnosing causal factors of change at the ecosystem level is challenging because multiple drivers often interact at various spatial and temporal scales.

Optical Cloud Pixel Recovery via Machine Learning

Remote Sensing, 2017
Remote sensing derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) is a widely used index to monitor vegetation and land use change. NDVI can be retrieved from publicly available data repositories of optical sensors such as Landsat, Moderate Resolution

Short‐Term Estuarine Phytoplankton Dynamics in Response to Hurricanes Along the Gulf Coast of America: A Variational Autoencoder (VAE) Approach With Satellite and Bio‐Optical Observations

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Hurricanes drive diverse estuarine phytoplankton responses and can trigger cascading ecological and physicochemical impacts. Capturing these short‐term dynamics requires high spatiotemporal resolution. Here, we applied a globally‐applicable coastal ocean color algorithm, Variational Autoencoder (VAE), to Sentinel‐2 MSI imagery for chlorophyll ...

Tropical Storm and Hurricane Impacts on a Gulf Coast Estuary: Apalachicola Bay, Florida [PDF]

Journal of Coastal Research, 2008
Abstract Since 1985, various long-term monitoring programs have been in place in the Apalachicola Bay area that can be utilized to determine the effects of tropical storms and hurricanes on the natural resources of the area. The size, speed of movement, severity, angle and direction of landfall, as well as storm surge height and the amount and location

Inundation Processes, Barrier Island Breaching, and Structure Impacts During Hurricane Michael (2018)

Earth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract We demonstrate the increased ability to forecast hurricane impacts with a coupled numerical modeling system by simulating ocean waves, water levels, currents, sediment transport, and structural damage to predict inundation, coastal morphological change, and residential building impacts.

The potential of wetlands and barrier islands as a coastal defense in mitigating the storm surge

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
A critical aspect of coastal protection is the role of barrier islands and wetlands in mitigating storm surges. However, the level of protection offered by these natural features can vary based on their geographical characteristics and the storms they ...

A Survey of Deepwater Horizon (DWH) Oil-Degrading Bacteria from the Eastern Oyster Biome and its Surrounding Environment

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) accident led to the release of an estimated 794,936,474 liters of crude oil into the northern Gulf of Mexico over an 85 day period in 2010, resulting in the contamination of the Gulf of Mexico waters, sediments, permeable ...

Intertidal oyster reef elevation restoration: using a durable substrate on Lone Cabbage Reef, Florida, United States

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Abstract Introduction Oyster reef restoration has expanded in the Gulf of Mexico, yet many large‐scale projects fail to sustain ecological or physical outcomes. A key challenge is maintaining vertical relief in dynamic estuarine settings, where low elevation and cultch degradation limit recruitment and reef persistence.

Modeling Changes in Flow Dynamics From the Restoration of a Distributary Slough Along a Large Floodplain River

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1400-1417, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Sloughs are slow‐moving or still water systems that serve as an important ecosystem component connecting rivers and floodplains such as the Apalachicola River in northwest Florida. However, sloughs of the Apalachicola River have become hydrologically disconnected from the mainstem due to the impact of failed navigation projects such as channel
