This work presents the results of long-term deep-water observations carried out in southwestern Adriatic margin. Hydrodynamics and thermohaline measurements were last 100 m water column using two moorings placed at different locations along western sector continental margin (open slope vs. submarine canyon). The observations, over a period almost 10 years, made it possible to define intra- inte...

In the Pacific Basin, El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is dominant mode of interannual climate variability, driving substantial changes in oceanographic forcing and impacting coastlines. Yet, how sandy coasts respond to these basin-scale has date been limited a few long-term beach monitoring sites, predominantly on developed coasts. Here we use 38 years Landsat imagery map shoreline variabil...

The Vibrionaceae (Vibrio) are a ubiquitous group of metabolically flexible marine bacteria that play important roles in biogeochemical cycling in the ocean. Despite this versatility, little is known about Vibrio diversity and abundances in upwelling regions. The seasonal dynamics of Vibrio populations was examined by analysis of 16S rRNA genes in Monterey Bay (MB), California from April 2006-Ap...
