Aerosol deposition plays an important role in climate and biogeochemical cycles by supplying nutrients to the open ocean, turn stimulating ocean productivity carbon sequestration. particles also contain elements such as copper (Cu) that are essential trace amounts for phytoplankton physiology but can be toxic at high concentrations. Although toxicity of Cu associated with aerosols has been demonstrated bioassay experiments, extrapolation these laboratory results natural conditions is not...
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) and derived nutrient (NO2–, NO3–, NH4+, PO43–, SiO2) trace element (Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mo, Ni, Pb, V Zn) loadings to the coastal sea were systematically assessed along coast of Majorca Island, Spain, in a general survey around island three representative coves during 2010. We estimated that brackish water discharges through shoreline are important contributors DIN, SiO2, Zn budgets nearshore waters. Furthermore, our results showed SGD-derived elements...
Posidonia oceanica , the dominant seagrass species in Mediterranean, appears to be experiencing widespread loss. Efforts conserve are increasing, as reflected increase number of marine protected areas Mediterranean. However, effectiveness these measures meadows is unknown. In this study, present status Cabrera National Park (Mediterranean), only national park Spain, was assessed, and conservation adopted tested. This done by reconstruction past growth, quantification demographic established...

Abstract To investigate the response of a subtropical coastal phytoplankton community to tropical cyclones, we utilized high temporal resolution (hours) data from Imaging FlowCytobot (IFCB) deployed in Gulf Mexico. In 2010, four cyclones (two during June–July and two September) struck area. Passage produced major impacts: (1) storm surges strong onshore winds, (2) heavy rains producing substantial freshwater discharge decreased salinity. The showed rapid passage with increased abundance....
The toxin-producing microbial species Alexandrium minutum has a wide distribution in the Mediterranean Sea and causes high biomass blooms with consequences on environment, human health coastal-related economic activities. Comprehension of algal genetic differences associated connectivity is fundamental to understand geographical scale adaptation dispersal pathways harmful microalgal species. In present study, we combine A. population analyses based microsatellites indirect ( C i )...
This paper presents the automation, website interface, and verification of Stevens Flood Advisory System (SFAS, http://stevens.edu/SFAS).The fully-automated, ensemble-based flood advisory system dynamically integrates real-time observations river coastal models forced by an ensemble meteorological at various scales to produce serve street scale forecasts over urban terrain.SFAS is applied Greater NY/NJ Metropolitan region, used routinely multiple forecast offices departments within US...
Abstract We assessed by numerical modeling the coastal fish larval dispersion along southern coast of Mallorca (Balearic Islands, NW Mediterranean) with objective determining factors that contribute to successful recruitment. assumed larvae dispersal is mainly regulated physical transport. Currents are wind driven in this area; therefore, changes forcing have a first‐order impact on The synoptic patterns were systematically analyzed based self‐organizing map analysis. fields clustered using...
Finding a partner in an inherently unsteady 3-dimensional system, such as the planktonic marine environment, is difficult task for nonswimming organisms with poor control over their orientation. We experimentally investigate process of cell pairing pennate diatoms and present field evidence its occurrence ocean. describe mechanism 3-step which (i) vertically reorient while sinking from surface turbulent waters to more stable environment (i.e., under seasonal pycnocline), (ii) segregate...
In this work, we analyze the seasonal evolution of a Mediterranean pocket beach and its response to different storm episodes. Magalluf, an intermediate medium sand located in Bay Palma (Balearic Islands) was monitored by topographic levelling during 14 months. Near beach, Posidonia oceanica meadow covers most seabed appears influence cross-shore adjustment. The low variability observed sampling period perturbed two events that caused significant sediment transport. first gave rise waves from...
