Gravitational circulation in straits and estuaries
Journal of Marine Research, 2021 A coupled set of partial differential equations and associated boundary conditions is written to describe circulation and salt-flux processes for estuaries in which turbulent mixing results primarily from tidal currents.

Global methane and nitrous oxide emissions from inland waters and estuaries
Global Change Biology, 2022 Inland waters (rivers, reservoirs, lakes, ponds, streams) and estuaries are significant emitters of methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) to the atmosphere, while global estimates of these emissions have been hampered due to the lack of a worldwide ...

Recognizing Low-Inflow Estuaries as a Common Estuary Paradigm
Estuaries and Coasts, 2023 It has become clear that estuaries with low rates of freshwater inflow are an important but overlooked sphere of estuarine science. Low-inflow estuaries (LIEs) represent a major class of estuary long downplayed because observations do not fit well in the

Environmental DNA Methods for Ecological Monitoring and Biodiversity Assessment in Estuaries
Estuaries and Coasts, 2022 Environmental DNA (eDNA) detection methods can complement traditional biomonitoring to yield new ecological insights in aquatic systems. However, the conceptual and methodological frameworks for aquatic eDNA detection and interpretation were developed ...

Sensitivity of Estuaries to Compound Flooding
Estuaries and Coasts, 2021 Fluvial and surge-tide extremes can occur synchronously resulting in compound flooding in estuaries, greatly intensifying the hazard. This flood risk has the potential to increase in the future as the frequency, phasing and/or intensity of these drivers ...

Climate change rapidly warms and acidifies Australian estuaries
Nature Communications, 2020 Climate change is impacting ecosystems worldwide. Estuaries are diverse and important aquatic ecosystems; and yet until now we have lacked information on the response of estuaries to climate change.

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Natural and Anthropogenic Drivers of Acidification in Large Estuaries.
Annual Review of Marine Science, 2020 Oceanic uptake of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere has changed ocean biogeochemistry and threatened the health of organisms through a process known as ocean acidification (OA). Such large-scale changes affect ecosystem functions and

Diversity, 2020 Seagrass meadows are an important habitat for a variety of animals, including ecologically and socioeconomically important species. Seagrass meadows are recognised as providing species with nursery grounds, and as a migratory pathway to adjacent habitats.

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 Oil spills in estuaries are less studied and less understood than their oceanic counterparts. To address this gap, we present a detailed analysis of estuarine oil spill transport.
