Abstract: Abstract Coastal hypoxia is on the rise around the world, reducing secondary production and ecosystem services in estuarine and coastal regions. We propose a tidal pump consisting of a 90° bend and a vertical downwelling… read more here.

Abstract: Artificial downwelling, which is an ecological engineering method, potentially alleviates bottom hypoxia by bringing oxygen-rich surface water down below the pycnocline. However, the downward flow is likely to disturb sediments (or induce sediment resuspension) when… read more here.
