Physical forcing of phytoplankton dynamics in the Al‐Wajh lagoon (Red Sea)
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2022 Coastal lagoons are biodiversity hotspots that support neighboring ecosystems and various services. They can exhibit distinct biophysical characteristics compared to the adjacent open sea and act paradoxically as autonomous ecosystems.

Coastal and Estuarine Hydrodynamic Modeling in Curvilinear Grids
Coastal Engineering 1988, 1988 A time-dependent three-dimensional numerical model of coastal and estuarine circulation, which allows the use of generalized curvilinear grids to resolve the complex shoreline geometry and bathymetry, has been developed. Model formulation is briefly presented, followed by example model applications to such water bodies as Lake Okeechobee, James River ...

Hydrodynamics and suspended sediment dynamics in estuarine channel networks: an idealised modelling approach [PDF]
, 2022 Estuaries are bodies of water that connect river to sea. Many of them are composed of multiple interconnected channels and thus constitute a so-called estuarine channel network. They are important for both ecology and economy.

Controls on Sediment Bed Erodibility in a Muddy, Partially-Mixed Tidal Estuary
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 The objectives of this study are to better understand controls on bed erodibility in muddy estuaries, including the roles of both sediment properties and recent hydrodynamic history. An extensive data set of erodibility measurements, sediment properties,

Air–water CO2 evasion from US East Coast estuaries [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2017 This study presents the first regional-scale assessment of estuarine CO2 evasion along the US East Coast (25–45° N). The focus is on 42 tidal estuaries, which together drain a catchment of 697 000 km2 or 76 % of the total area within this latitudinal ...

Multi-Scale Influence of Flexible Submerged Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) on Estuarine Hydrodynamics
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 Bottom friction is an important process in coastal and estuarine environments because it can reduce wave heights and moderate tidal currents. When modeling large systems with spatially varying hydraulic properties, bottom friction values are commonly ...

Development of a submerged aquatic vegetation growth model in the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere–Wave–Sediment Transport (COAWST v3.4) model [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2020 The coupled biophysical interactions between submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV), hydrodynamics (currents and waves), sediment dynamics, and nutrient cycling have long been of interest in estuarine environments. Recent observational studies have addressed

, 2021 The circulation in estuaries promotes the transport of organisms, nutrients, oxygen and sediments. Simultaneously, the mixture of fresh and salt water leads to variations of the physicochemical and biological components of the region.

Nutrient transport and transformation in macrotidal estuaries of the French Atlantic coast: a modeling approach using the Carbon-Generic Estuarine Model [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2022 Estuaries are key reactive ecosystems along the land–ocean aquatic continuum, with significant ecological and economic value. However, they have been facing strong morphological management changes and increased nutrient and contaminant inputs, possibly ...
