The ecology of free-living nematodes in nearshore marine and estuarine sediments of the microtidal lower west coast of Australia.

open access: yes, 2009
The overarching aim of this thesis was to describe the ecology of the assemblages of free-living nematodes in the sediments of nearshore marine and estuarine waters on the microtidal lower west coast of Australia. The thesis also provides descriptions of

Refining techniques for high‐frequency monitoring of chlorophyll a fluorescence in estuarine systems

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Concentrations of the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll a are commonly used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass in aquatic systems. Traditional methods for extracting chlorophyll a in discrete samples limit measurement frequency, while in situ sensor technology provides high frequency chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements at a more ...

The development and validation of an estuarine health index using fish community characteristics

open access: yes, 2010
The overall aim of this thesis was to develop an approach for constructing and validating a fish-based, multimetric index for assessing the ecological health of estuaries in south-western Australia, and to apply that approach to the large Swan Estuary ...

Effects of preservatives and poisons on the elemental and isotopic composition of freshwater particulate organic matter

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Sediment traps, often used in tandem with preservatives or poisons, are widely used for the collection of particulate organic matter (POM), providing insight into the source to sink mechanisms that shape major biogeochemical cycles and sedimentary carbon sequestration.

Diversions of the Ribeira River Flow and Their Influence on Sediment Supply in the Cananeia-Iguape Estuarine-Lagoonal System (SE Brazil)

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2018
The Cananéia-Iguape system is a combined estuarine-lagoonal sedimentary system, located along the SE coast of Brazil. It consists of a network of channels and islands oriented mainly parallel to the coast.

Bed‐level tools for monitoring erosion and accretion patterns: Flume validation and field testing

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Monitoring short‐term changes in surface sediment elevation is fundamental to understanding erosion, transport, and deposition dynamics in shallow coastal environments. However, commonly used field approaches, such as horizontal markers, sediment erosion tables, subsurface sediment plates, or erosion pins, are not always cross‐validated under ...

Microbially driven organic carbon cycling at the land−sea interface: Advances and an integrated study framework

open access: yesmLife, EarlyView.
Abstract The land−sea interface is a vital component of global biogeochemical cycles, where microorganisms drive the cycling of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur. This review synthesizes the research progress from representative land−sea interfaces to elucidate how the microbial community structure and metabolic function influence the mobilization ...
