Modeling the impacts of pulsed riverine inflows on hydrodynamics and water quality in the Barataria Bay estuary
… hydrodynamics, salinity and water quality in the Barataria estuary, a deltaic estuary in south Louisiana. This estuary receives freshwater and nutrient discharges from the Davis Pond diversion, the world’s largest freshwater diversion project. I have implemented two Barataria Bay simulation models …

Hydrodynamics and freshwater diversion within Barataria Basin
… to understand the physical processes in the Barataria estuary, a previously developed two-dimensional, depth-integrated hydrodynamic model is applied to simulate estuarine processes. The equations for conservation of mass and momentum predict specific physical processes when forced by tidal …

Addressing the land loss-fish production paradox
… on historical abundance of estuarine nekton in Barataria Bay, LA is lacking. I first examined the differences between fishery independent and fishery dependent data as indices of relative abundance. Previous studies used landings data to evaluate the importance of marsh habitat (e.g. distance of …

Detection of PAHs in Commercial and Wild Caught Fish Oil using Scanning Fluorescence Spectroscopy
… and wild menhaden collected from the Delaware Bay, NJ, James River, VA, Vermillion Bay, LA and Barataria Bay, LA in 2010 and/or 2011. Barataria Bay received heavy oiling from the DWH spill from April to August 2010. Vitamins and PAH standards were bought commercially. The fish oils and …

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon determination in liver of Menhaden exposed to the Deep Water Horizon Oil Spill
… Adult menhaden were collected from Delaware Bay, NJ (September 2010-September 2011), James River, Virginia (November 2010), Grand Isle, Louisiana (September 2010- September 2011), and Vermillion Bay, Louisiana (June 2011-October 2011). The findings of this study show that a high …

The ecology of two estuarine-dependent tonguefishes, the blackcheek tonguefish (Symphurus plagiusa) and the offshore tonguefish (S. civitatium), in coastal Louisiana
… of patterns of resource utilization within the Barataria study area identified significant differences between species with respect to microhabitat selection. Offshore tonguefish were generally more abundant than blackcheek tonguefish in the Barataria study area. Blackcheek tonguefish used lower …

Quantitative Oil Source-Fingerprinting Techniques and Their Application to Differentiating Crude Oil in Coastal Marsh Sediments
Oil source-fingerprinting is an environmental forensics technique that uses analytical chemistry to determine the origin of oil residues in environmental samples by comparison to a known or suspected source oil. Currently, the only standardized method for oil source fingerprinting is a qualitative …
