Impact of local rivers on coastal acidification
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2779-2795, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Coastal ecosystems are highly dynamic areas for carbon cycling and are likely to be negatively impacted by increasing ocean acidification. This research focused on dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and total alkalinity (TA) in the Mississippi Sound to understand the influence of local rivers on coastal acidification.

Efficient and model‐agnostic parameter estimation under privacy‐preserving post‐randomization data
Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.Abstract Balancing data privacy with public access is critical for sensitive datasets. However, even after de‐identification, the data are still vulnerable to, for example, inference attacks (by matching some keywords with external datasets). Statistical disclosure control (SDC) methods offer additional protection, and the post‐randomization method ...
