Remediation of contaminated marine sediment using bentonite, kaolin and sand as capping materials
There is a growing public concern over the issue of sediment contamination resulting from industrial, municipal wastewater, mining activities, and improper use of chemical fertilizer or pesticides. The conventional treatment of contaminated sediment is dredging, but this treatment is expensive and …

Utilising Chlorophyll Fluorescence to Assess the Variability of Phytoplankton Biomass and Productivity in the North-West European Shelf Seas
Marine primary productivity by phytoplankton drives the conversion of CO2 into organic carbon, thus supporting key marine ecosystem services such as biogeochemical nutrient cycles and fisheries. Therefore, the ability to accurately quantify and predict the environmental influences that govern this …

Bet- hedging reproduction strategies in the massive Caribbean coral Favia fragum
Bet- hedging has long been recognised as an adaptive mechanism in unpredictable environments, yet is often overlooked as an evolutionary strategy in corals to adapt to environmental conditions associated with climate change. Most environments vary spatially and temporally over the lifespan of …

A Modelling study of the atmospheric role of iodine in the Coastal Marine Boundary Layer
This study modelled the concentration of iodine species using results obtained from a field measurement campaign called POMORIS (Point Measurements of Reactive Iodine Species). These measurements were obtained from the coastal marine environment of Mace Head, Ireland in Summer 2007. The modelled …

Nano- to catchment-scale investigations of metal transport processes in mining-impacted river systems
Millennia of metal mining has left across the world an extensive physical legacy of contaminated mine waste and a substantial impact on the environment. In mining-impacted rivers, efforts to monitor metal mine contamination and remediation strategies to achieve good water quality are often of …

Relative sea level, sediment supply and barrier dynamics as driving mechanisms of Holocene coastal change.
The combined effects of climate change and population pressure lead to regional and local coastal responses that pose major challenges for the future resilience of coastal landscapes, increasing the vulnerability of communities, infrastructure and nature conservation interests. Improving …

Productivity and carbon sequestration potential of seagrass ecosystems in the eastern Aegean Sea
Atmospheric CO₂ levels have been increasing at ever faster rates, fueled by anthropogenic activity. Natural ecosystems,which typically form net autotrophic habitats such as seagrass meadows, could be crucial to counteracting CO₂ emissions. Increased fragmentation of Posidonia oceanica seagrass …

A Regional Assessment of Coral Restoration within the Western Atlantic with a Case Study of Barbados
Coral reefs accommodate as much as a quarter of all known marine species and generate billions of US$ per year through ecosystem services such as coastal protection, fishery and tourism. Unfortunately, the hard coral global coverage is rapidly declining. Especially the coral reefs of the Caribbean …
