Seasonal sedimentation, measured with the aid of artificial marker horizons, was markedly different in deteriorating as compared stable marshes Mississippi River deltaic plain. Deteriorating receive most sediment during storm events, whereas substantial amounts sediments spring river flood. The are accreting at a faster rate (1.5 centimeters per year streamside, 0.9 centimeter inland areas) than (1.3 0.6 areas). However, relative to local apparent sea-level rise by tide gauges each area, not...
Abstract Growth in fundamental drivers—energy use, economic productivity and population—can provide quantitative indications of the proposed boundary between Holocene Epoch Anthropocene. Human energy expenditure Anthropocene, ~22 zetajoules (ZJ), exceeds that across prior 11,700 years (~14.6 ZJ), largely through combustion fossil fuels. The global warming effect during Anthropocene is more than an order magnitude greater still. Global human population, their consumption, most changes...
The Land–ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone (LOICZ) project was established 1993 as a core of International Geosphere–Biosphere Programme (IGBP) to provide science knowledge answer “How will changes land use, sea level and climate alter coastal systems, what are wider consequences?” In its first phase operation (1993–2003) LOICZ began fundamental investigation focused on biophysical dimensions, including seminal assessments seas net sources or sinks atmospheric CO2, river discharge...
Coastal wetlands are not only among the world’s most valued ecosystems but also threatened by high greenhouse gas emissions that lead to accelerated sea level rise. There is intense debate regarding extent which landward migration of might compensate for seaward wetland losses. By integrating data from 166 estuaries across conterminous United States, we show coastal will transform coastlines counter Two-thirds potential expected occur at expense freshwater wetlands, while remaining one-third...
Estuaries and associated coastal waters support many essential fisheries, a fact which contributes to their disproportionately high economic value. They are, however, also among the most extensively modified threatened of aquatic environments. Almost all have been strongly affected by human beings, fisheries are an integral part activities on coast. We taken global perspective in synthesizing effects fishing estuaries waters. Rather than attempt cover regions world detail, we review eight...
tal impacts of human activity, especial ly those related to climate change and biodiversity, but far less attention has been paid the diminishing resource base for humans. Despite our inatten tion, depletion popula tion growth have continuing re lentlessly. The most immediate these issues appears be a decline in oil reservoirs, phenomenon commonly referred as peak because global production reached maximum is now declining. However, set economic are come home roost ever greater numbers...
