Reconciling opposing views on carbon cycling in the coastal ocean: continental shelves as sinks and near-shore ecosystems as sources of atmospheric CO2 [PDF]
Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography, 2009 Despite their moderately-sized surface area, continental marginal seas play a significant role in the biogeochemical cycles of carbon, as they receive huge amounts of upwelled and riverine inputs of carbon and nutrients, sustaining a disproportionate ...

Transport of particles across continental shelves
Reviews of Geophysics, 1994 Transport of participate material across continental shelves is well demonstrated by the distributions on the seabed and in the water column of geological, chemical, or biological components, whose sources are found farther landward or farther seaward.

The role of continental shelves in nitrogen and carbon cycling: Northwestern North Atlantic case study [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2010 Continental shelves play a key role in the cycling of nitrogen and carbon. Here the physical transport and biogeochemical transformation processes affecting the fluxes into and out of continental shelf systems are reviewed, and their role in the ...

Temporal Changes in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current: Implications for the Antarctic Continental Shelves [PDF]
Oceanography, 2016 Some of the most rapid melting of ice sheets and ice shelves around Antarctica has occurred where the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is in close proximity to the Antarctic continent.

Offshore freshened groundwater in the Pearl River estuary and shelf as a significant water resource
Nature Communications, 2023 Large-river deltaic estuaries and adjacent continental shelves have experienced multiple phases of transgressions and regressions to form interlayered aquifer-aquitard systems and are expected to host vast paleo-terrestrial groundwater hundreds of ...

Classification of seabed landforms on continental and island shelves
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 The increasing availability and quality of high-resolution bathymetry data has led to a growing need for automated classification approaches to extract seabed features and better understand our ever-changing and complex seascapes.
