Foraminiferal biotopes in a shallow continental shelf environment: Esperance Bay (southwestern Australia)

Monaco: the shallow continental shelf.

Summertime cooling of the shallow continental shelf

[1] In summer on the shallow New England continental shelf, near the coast the water temperature is much cooler than the observed surface heat flux suggests. Using depth‐integrated heat budgets in 12 and 27 m water depth calculated from observed surface heat flux, water temperature, and velocity, we demonstrate that on time scales of weeks to months the water is persistently cooled due to a mea...

Diversity and Distribution Patterns of Cetaceans in the Subtropical Southwestern Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf and Slope

Temporal and spatial patterns of cetacean diversity and distribution were investigated through eight ship-based surveys carried out during spring and autumn between 2009 and 2014 on the outer continental shelf (~150m) and slope (1500m) off southeastern and southern Brazil (~23°S to ~34°S). The survey area was divided into southeast and south areas according to their oceanographic characteristic...

application of coherens in modeling pollution dispersion in a shallow tide-effected bay (bushehr bay)

it is well known that, contaminant transportation is a major problem in coastal zones and has to be faced when coastal structures are being planned. sea pollution not only causes environmental damage, but also impacts quality and population of sea resources. oil is the most important pollutant, pollutants emanating from industries, ships, drilling and exploration in the seabed, ship sewage, tox...

Early deglacial onset of southwestern Greenland ice-sheet retreat on the continental shelf

The Greenland ice sheet (GrIS) advanced onto the continental shelf during the last glacial period. While deglacial records for when the GrIS withdrew onto the modern coastline are relatively abundant, the timing of early GrIS retreat on the shelf is poorly constrained. Here we use planktic foraminiferal d18O, sediment grain size, sedimentation rates, and 14C ages in southeastern Davis Strait co...
