DOI: 10.1002/lom3.10356
Abstract: This work provides a rare quantification of lateral spreading from Lagrangian measurements in a buoyant river plume by comparing four methods. Drifter motions, including along‐stream shear and rotation, can be incorrectly interpreted as lateral spreading.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.csr.2021.104348
Abstract: Abstract Estimations of the global carbon budget include a quantitative understanding of the evolving processes that occur along river-to-ocean gradients. However, high spatiotemporal resolution observations of these processes are limited. Here we present in situ… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecss.2018.04.023
Abstract: Abstract Coastal zones, impacted by major rivers, comprise distinct environments, such as river plumes and bottom boundary layers (BBL). These environments are characterized by high nutrient concentrations and high microbial activities and thus offer favourable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-04165-z
Abstract: The dispersal of marine organisms can be restricted by a set of isolation mechanisms including hard barriers or hydrological features. In the Western Atlantic Ocean, the Amazon River discharge has been shown to act as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1175/jpo-d-20-0191.1
Abstract: Submesoscale currents (SMCs), in the forms of fronts, filaments, and vortices, are studied using a high-resolution (~150 m) Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) simulation in the Mississippi River plume system. Fronts and filaments are identified… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.00355
Abstract: At the mouth of the Amazon River, a widespread carbonate ecosystem exists below the river plume, generating a hard-bottom reef (∼9500 km2) that includes mainly large sponges but also rhodolith beds. The mesozooplankton associated with… read more here.
