A Holocene record of climate-driven shifts in coastal carbon sequestration
(2009)
A sediment core collected in the mesohaline portion of Chesapeake Bay was found to contain periods of increased delivery of refractory black carbon (BC) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The BC was most likely ...
El registro geológico de la transformación ambiental de la ría de Bilbao durante el Holoceno y el Antropoceno
(San Sebastian, Spain : Sociedad de ciencias aranzadi zientzi elkartea, 2009)
The northeastern coast of Spain is characterized by Mesozoic-Cenozoic sedimentary rocks forming high cliffs interrupted by short, narrow estuaries that are separated from the open sea by sandbars, beaches and dune deposits. ...
Analyzing Estuarine Shoreline Change in Coastal North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2009)
With continued climate change, sea-level rise, and coastal development, concern about shoreline dynamics has expanded beyond oceanfront areas to encompass more protected coastal water bodies, such as estuaries. Because ...
A high marsh transfer function for sea-level reconstructions in the southern Bay of Biscay.
(East Carolina University, 2008)
Comparative impacts of two major hurricane seasons on the Neuse River and western Pamlico Sound ecosystems
(East Carolina University, 2004-06-22)
Ecosystem-level impacts of two hurricane seasons were compared several years after the storms in the largest lagoonal estuary in the U.S., the Albemarle-Pamlico Estuarine System. A segmented linear regression flow model ...
Latitudinal difference in biodiversity caused by higher tropical rate of increase
(East Carolina University, 2002-06-11)
Tropical diversity has generally exceeded temperate diversity in the present and at points in the past, but whether measured differences have remained relatively constant through time has been unknown. Here we examine ...
North Carolina’s Coasts in Crisis: A Vision For The Future
(East Carolina University, 2008-10)
Past, Present and Future Inlets
(East Carolina University, 2008-12)
Comparison of quantification methods to measure fire-derived (black/elemental) carbon in soils and sediments using reference materials from soil, water, sediment and the atmosphere
(2007)
Black carbon (BC), the product of incomplete combustion of fossil fuels and biomass (called elemental carbon (EC) in atmospheric sciences), was quantified in 12 different materials by 17 laboratories from different ...
Oceanic loading of wildfire-derived organic compounds from a small mountainous river
(2008)
Small mountainous rivers (SMRs) export substantial amounts of sediment into the world's oceans. The concomitant yield of organic carbon (OC) associated with this class of rivers has also been shown to be significant and ...
