ABSTRACT Dense cities represent biogeochemical hot spots along the shoreline, concentrating fixed nitrogen that is subsequently discharged into adjacent coastal receiving waters. Thus, ecosystem services provided by natural systems in highly urban environments can play a particularly important role global cycle. In this paper, we review recent literature on regulation temperate ecosystems, with focus how distinct physical and features of landscape affect provision service. We use Jamaica...
Using a validated coupled hydrodynamic-tracer transport model, this study quantified the mean residence time in Jamaica Bay, highly eutrophic lagoonal estuary New York City. The Bay is well-mixed to partially-stratified with heavily-dredged bathymetry and substantial wastewater treatment plant effluent inputs that lead seasonal hypoxia some poorly-flushed deep-water basins. Residence was computed for its largest isolated deep basin, Grassy Bay. response of freshwater discharge wind forcing...
The Everglades Wetland Water Quality Model (WWQM) was developed based on mass transport and kinetic equations of nutrients in water, sediment, emergent wetland plants. model consists four submodels: eutrophication, chemical equilibrium, vegetation. is the integrated compartment method (i.e., equation applied form to control volumes). three-dimensional nature water quality includes consideration a floating algal mat, column layer, benthic periphyton detrital litter layer. submodels are...
Estuarine Modeling: Applications in NY/NJ HarborThe waters of the New York/New Jersey Harbor complex provide a valuable resource to York metropolitan area and nation general. Given rapid growth urban population, industrial development, shipping commerce within region over past three hundred years, it is not surprising that harbor have shown evidence degraded water quality and...Author(s)James J.

THE USE OF MATHEMATICAL MODELING TO EVALUATE STRATEGIES MEET WATER QUALITY STANDARDS IN A HEAVILY URBANIZED TIDAL BAYJamaica Bay is a shallow bar-built estuary located on the south shore of western Long Island, New York. The has had long history being influenced by development along its borders and currently suffers from degraded water quality conditions, including noncompliance with current York State standards for dissolved oxygen. In an effort to develop more complete...Author(s)James J....
THE ROLE OF MATHEMATICAL MODELING IN DEVELOPING A NUTRIENT TMDL FOR LONG ISLAND SOUNDAccording to the USEPA/NOAA-sponsored Long Island Sound Study (LISS), between 20 and 40% of bottom area is “mar ginal unusable” many marine aquatic species during summer months due occurrence low dissolved oxygen or hypoxia. Hypoxia usually occurs late summer, generally from July through September, varies in duration year to...Author(s)James J. FitzpatrickJohn P. St. JohnKai-Yuan YangSourceProceedings Water...
A POST-AUDIT ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACTS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OUTFALL RELOCATION ON BOSTON HARBOR, MASSACHUSETTS BAY AND CAPE COD WATER QUALITYThe City of Boston and Harbor have long played an important role in the nation's history from early days American revolution to a focal point 1988 presidential campaign when harbor was cited as one dirtiest bodies water. However, 15 years since that low harbor's history, approximately 4 billion has been spent (mostly supported by...Author(s)James J....
