The grazing impact of megaherbivores on sediment accumulation and stabilization functions of seagrass meadows in a subtropical coral reef lagoon

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Seagrasses thrive in shallow lagoons between land and fringing coral reefs, serving as a buffer that mitigates the propagation of environmental stressors from land to reefs. However, mass grazing by megaherbivores poses a significant threat to seagrass loss, impacting the sustainability of tropical coastal habitats. Despite the urgency of this

From Headwaters to the Sea: The Journey of Creating an Immersive Museum Exhibit

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Bulletin, EarlyView.
Abstract We describe the multi‐year journey of a group of researchers co‐creating a museum exhibit with the Biosphère an environmental museum of the City of Montréal. The collaboration resulted in an immersive experience where visitors can dive into an aquatic continuum and learn about function, ecology, chemistry, and the roles of the various aquatic ...

Impact of glacial cycles and ocean currents on radiation events in the Japanese turban snail Lunella coreensis

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract The Japanese turban snail Lunella coreensis is sensitive to ocean currents due to its short pelagic larval stage and moderate dispersal ability, making it an ideal model for studying genetic diversity shaped by paleoclimatic shifts. In this study, we analyzed the mitochondrial genes COI and 12S of museum samples collected from various coasts ...

Deltaic engineering‐induced accumulation hides erosion in response to fluvial sediment decline in the Yangtze submarine shoal

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract Worldwide river deltas are impacted by human activities and climatic change, but it has been challenging to quantify their contributions due to nonlinear natural processes and a lack of long‐term geomorphological data. Time‐series bathymetric data were collected at submarine Hengsha Shoal in the Yangtze Delta during 11 repeat surveys over 60 ...

Results of a Round Robin Test for the Determination of Polarization Resistances on Differently Weathered Zinc Samples Using Gel Electrolytes

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
Whether a top layer of corrosion products on zinc or galvanized steel protects the metal from further corrosion can be determined by measuring the electrochemical corrosion product layer resistance using an agar gel as the test electrolyte. The test standard DIN 50023:2024‐07 has recently been published.

Offshore Weathering Campaign on a North Sea Wind Farm Part One: Corrosivity Categories

open access: yesMaterials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
To optimize the corrosion protection conditions, the corrosiveness of offshore wind turbines must be determined in several necessary areas of the structure. Therefore detailed investigations were done at real structures. ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to investigate the corrosion behavior of materials and coatings in offshore environments, with a ...

Climate and the Tropical Oceans* [PDF]

open access: possibleJournal of Climate, 1999
Abstract An attempt is made to determine the role of the ocean in establishing the mean tropical climate and its sensitivity to radiative perturbations. A simple two-box energy balance model is developed that includes ocean heat transports as an interactive component of the tropical climate system.

Tropical Dry Climates

2003
Tropical dry climates are home to unique forest ecosystems, many of which are affected by strong phenological patterns. In the Americas, tropical dry forest ecosystems account for 40 % of their original extension, and are highly affected by deforestation patterns given the fact that they are located on high fertile forests.

Tropical Glaciers and Climate [PDF]

open access: possible, 1985
Tropical glaciers and ice caps are a particularly climate-sensitive component of the environment. It is then not surprising that international efforts directed at climatic and environmental change (UNESCO, 1970; World Meteorological Organization-ICSU, 1975, pp.

Tropical climate chaos [PDF]

open access: possiblePhysics World, 1994
The climate in the eastern part of the tropical Pacific Ocean – off the coast of Mexico, Central America and as far south as Chile – fluctuates irregularly between warm and rainy "El Nino" and cold, dry "La Nina" conditions. El Nino occurs approximately every three years and has a global effect on the atmosphere – it is associated with failure of the ...
