Lecture notes on coastal and estuarine studies ; 22
Content:
This proceedings of a workshop held at the Tiburon Center for Environmental Studies, California, in April, 1986, combines the information on modeling, satellite imagery, experimental hydrodynamics and field observations, active migrations and larval transport, distribution and transformation of stable isotopes, ecosystem budgets, and sedimentology, all towards understanding movements and exchange of all kinds of matter between adjoining waters. The organizers of the meeting (SCOR Working Group 65) assessed the extent of knowledge regarding the interdependence of adjoining coastal and offshore waters, to see how they contribute to, and benefit from, each other's nutrient supply and biological productivity. A summary chapter discusses present gaps in our knowledge, concepts for future research, and major difficulties in quantifying the total mass of matter exchanged between adjoining bodies of water.
