SWOT, Empiricism, and River Modeling
Abstract Given the insurmountable challenge of measuring all rivers in situ, global river models serve as the foundation of freshwater knowledge past, present, and future. We adopt an inductive empirical framework based on Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite measurements to assess these models.

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Abstract Frontal zones are often areas of increased biological productivity and have hydrographic gradients on short spatial scales. The small scale of gradients poses a challenge in identifying differences in zooplankton community structure and trophic transfer efficiency through the pelagic food web.

Abstract Extreme storms and flooding can remobilize legacy contaminants stored in the sediment bed; however, event‐scale models that resolve the transport of these materials remain underdeveloped. This study developed a numerical model of contaminated sediment transport during Hurricane Harvey (August 2017), which struck the upstream reaches of ...

Riverine Biogeochemical Exports From Major Watersheds to the Northwest Patagonian Estuarine Network
Abstract River discharge considerably influences marine ecosystems through hydrological and biogeochemical drivers. Measuring baseline variability of riverine inputs, and their relation to anthropogenic land‐use impacts and global climate stressors affecting watersheds is therefore crucial for managing coastal marine ecosystems.

Abstract Watershed sediment production is expected to increase in a warmer future with more extreme rain, with cascading effects throughout drainage and sediment‐transport networks. This study investigated landscape‐scale sediment movement in the eastern San Francisco Bay area, California, USA, during the extreme 2016–2017 wet season that brought major

Transient Ecological Niches for Diazotrophs in Upwelling Bays
Abstract Diazotrophs, microorganisms capable of fertilizing the ocean through biological nitrogen fixation (BNF), are widespread in the oceans, including upwelling bays. However, their ability to respond to short‐lived upwelling pulses, lasting only a few days, remains poorly understood. To investigate diazotrophy across temporal scales, we analyzed 18

Abstract Fjords are globally significant sedimentary archives that record the relationship between glacial, tectonic, and marine processes. Fiordland, on the southwest coast of New Zealand, hosts one of the most extensive temperate fjord provinces in the Southern Hemisphere, yet its postglacial evolution has remained poorly constrained.
