Modeling the fate and transport of nitrogen and sediment within coastal embayments on St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands
… and nitrogen, are being delivered to the coastal waters around the island at increasing rates and are believed to be having adverse impacts on the health of coral reef ecosystems. Understanding the impacts of increased sediment and nitrogen loads on coral reefs is critical for the …

The Importance of Thermal Habitat Quality for Pumpkinseed (Centrarchidae: Lepomis gibbosus) in Small and Constructed Coastal Embayments Along the Northwest Shoreline of Lake Ontario
Along the Toronto shoreline, small coastal embayments (0.4 – 32 ha) are being constructed or modified to restore warmwater fish habitat. I describe how Lake Ontario (hereafter the Lake) alters the thermal regime of these small coastal embayments, how the altered thermal regimes affect growth and …

Relative sea-level rise and the development of channel-fill and shallow-water sequences on Cape Cod, Massachusetts
… tract composed of a consistent sequence of coastal embayment and shoreline facies that have succeeded one another in response to Holocene relative sea-level rise. As relative sea-level flooded these paleo-channels, marsh environments were established in response to rising relative sea-level. …

Geological mapping of the inner shelf off Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard, South Africa
… sandy pocket beaches. A narrow, low-lying coastal plain (marine terrace) in the north merges with coastal cliffs further south. The geomorphology and sedimentology of the coast are closely linked to the underlying geology, influencing the shape of coastal embayments and promontories, as …
