The Pearl River Estuary Pollution Project (PREPP)

Continental Shelf Research, 2004
The Pearl River Estuary pollution project (PREPP) was conceived at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) during the 1996 to 1998 period to complement some ongoing work by the Government of the Hong Kong SAR on water quality issues in Hong Kong waters.

3D Numerical Model for Pearl River Estuary

Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 2001
A 3D numerical model with an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate in the horizontal direction and sigma coordinate in the vertical direction has been developed. This model is based on POM (Princeton Ocean Model). In this model a second moment turbulence closure submodel is embedded and the stratification caused by salinity and temperature is considered ...

Distribution, partitioning behaviors, and source identification of legacy and emerging per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances in the Pearl River Estuary, South China.

Water Research
Estuaries serve as a sink for land-based pollutants like legacy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), however, the environmental behaviors of emerging PFASs (ePFASs) remain largely unknown.

Trace Metals in Pearl River Estuary Organisms

2020
Important concepts when considering the biology of trace metals in aquatic organisms are uptake processes, bioavailability, bioaccumulation and toxicity. Recent decades have testified the dramatic progress in our understanding of these fundamental ecotoxicological aspects of trace metal biology.

Evaluation of heavy metal accumulation and sources in surface sediments of the Pearl River Estuary (China).

Marine Environmental Research
The Pearl River Estuary (PRE) has experienced an influx of metals and nutrients, predominantly from the Pearl River, which has led to a potential threat to the estuarine ecosystem.

Responses of the river plume to the external forcing in Pearl River Estuary

Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management, 2012
The interaction of river flow, tidal mixing, basin morphology and wind produces a different type of river plume in the Pearl River Estuary. In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical model has been used to study the response of the river plume to different forcings in the Pearl River Estuary.

Sediment trapping by haloclines of a river plume in the Pearl River Estuary

Continental Shelf Research, 2014
Abstract Sediment trapping by the halocline of a river plume was investigated over a spring-neap tidal cycle in the 2010 dry season in the Pearl River Estuary. Benthic tripod observations and concurrent shipboard measurements were conducted to examine mean and turbulent flows, and sediment distributions.

Spatiotemporal dynamics and anthropologically dominated drivers of chlorophyll-a, TN and TP concentrations in the Pearl River Estuary based on retrieval algorithm and random forest regression.

Environmental Research, 2022
Estimation of large-scale and high-precision water quality parameters is critical in explaining the spatiotemporal dynamics and the driving factors of water quality variability, especially in areas with environmental complexity (e.g., crisscrossing ...

Hong Kong at the Pearl River Estuary: A hotspot of microplastic pollution

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2015
Large plastic (>5mm) and microplastic (0.315-5mm) debris were collected from 25 beaches along the Hong Kong coastline. More than 90% consisted of microplastics. Among the three groups of microplastic debris, expanded polystyrene (EPS) represented 92%, fragments represented 5%, and pellets represented 3%.
