Assessment of coastal flooding and associated hydrodynamic processes on the south-eastern coast of Mexico, during Central American cold surge events [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2018
Coastal flooding in the northern Yucatán Peninsula is mainly associated with storm surge events triggered by high-pressure cold front systems. This study evaluates the hydrodynamic processes of the Chelem lagoon, Mexico and the flooding threat from ...

Caribbean Marine Heatwaves, Marine Cold Spells, and Co‐Occurrence of Bleaching Events

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 128, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) and Cold Spells (marine cold spells (MCSs)) are events of extreme positive and negative temperature anomalies, that last 5 days or longer. These events have been diagnosed across oceans from sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and recognized to affect ecosystems' health worldwide.

Prokaryotic community dynamics and nitrogen‐cycling genes in an oxygen‐deficient upwelling system during La Niña and El Niño conditions

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 25, Issue 7, Page 1281-1299, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Dissolved oxygen regulates microbial distribution and nitrogen cycling and, therefore, ocean productivity and Earth's climate. To date, the assembly of microbial communities in relation to oceanographic changes due to El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) remains poorly understood in oxygen minimum zones (OMZ).

Seasonal changes in beach resilience along an urbanized barrier island

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Beach width, dune height, and vegetation coverage are key parameters to assess beach resistance and resilience to storms. However, coastal development often causes beach ecosystem degradation due to poor coastal management.

Isotopic Characterization of Water Masses in the Southeast Pacific Region: Paleoceanographic Implications

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 127, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract In this study, we used stable isotopes of oxygen (δ18O), deuterium (δD), and dissolved inorganic carbon (δ13CDIC) in combination with temperature, salinity, oxygen, and nutrient concentrations to characterize the coastal (71°–78°W) and an oceanic (82°–98°W) water masses (SAAW—Subantarctic Surface Water; STW—Subtropical Water; ESSW—Equatorial ...
