Environmentally-Driven Variation in the Population Dynamics of Gulf Menhaden (<i>Brevoortia patronus</i>)
… throughout the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM). Gulf Menhaden support the second largest fishery, by weight, in the United States and represent a key linkage between upper and lower trophic levels. Variation in the population dynamics can, therefore, pose consequences for the ecology and …

Life History of the Non-Native Invasive Red Lionfish (<i>Pterois volitans</i>) in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
… first detected in the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM) in 2010 and since then their numbers have increased dramatically. From 2010 to 2015, more than 15,000 Red Lionfish were collected opportunistically from the nGOM for this study. Length and weight relationships differed significantly among …

Age, Growth, Reproduction, and Diet of the Finetooth Shark, <i>Carcharhinus isodon</i>, in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
… isodon</em>, in the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM) to provide an accurate description of the species’ reproductive biology, age, growth and diet composition. A total of 1,489 finetooth sharks (830 female; 659 male) were collected from coastal waters of the nGOM between Apalachicola Bay, …

Tidal hydrodynamic response to sea level rise and coastal geomorphology in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
… such as the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) are particularly vulnerable to the effects of SLR, which may have serious consequences for coastal communities as well as ecologically and economically significant estuaries. Evaluating potential changes in tidal hydrodynamics under SLR is …

Coastal Wetland Dynamics Under Sea-level Rise and Wetland Restoration in the Northern Gulf of Mexico using Bayesian Multilevel Models and a Web Tool
… for at the entire northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM). I developed such a modeling framework – Bayesian multi-level models to study the spatial pattern of wetland loss in the NGOM, driven by relative RSLR, vegetation productivity, tidal range, coastal slope, and wave height – all interacting with …

UNDERSTANDING THE PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY OF THE MISSISSIPPI SOUND: OBSERVATIONAL CLIMATOLOGIES, TRENDS AND RELATIONSHIPS IN THE SOUND AND COMPARISON OF THE SURFACE CURRENTS OF OCEAN MODELS WITH HIGH FREQUENCY RADAR DATA
… that is a major part of Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOM) separated from the shelf waters by a series of barrier islands. It is mostly characterized by its strong weather fronts, storms and hurricanes that affect the hydro-morpho-dynamics of the region. This includes strong impact on the current …

Movement Ecology and Trophic Dynamics in the northern Gulf of Mexico: Implications for Fisheries Management
<p>The northern Gulf of Mexico (nGOM) is a diverse and productive region for living marine resources. The region supports lucrative commercial and recreational fisheries ranging from low-trophic-level species, such as penaeid shrimps and forage fishes, to high-trophic-level predators (e.g. …

Lexical Borrowings as Sociolinguistic Variables in Saint -Louis, Senegal
By means of a quantitative and qualitative methodology, the study demonstrates that there are strong relationships between lexical borrowings and age groups in multilingual communities, and that linguistic processes that go along with lexical borrowings also follow the same pattern. Finally, this …

Factors Affecting Short-term Oxygen Variability in the Northern Gulf of Mexico Hypoxic Zone
… C6 and the areal extent of hypoxia in the NGOM was not present, both were statistically related to the monthly Mississippi River nitrogen flux. Using time-series analysis, I found no consistent periodicities in DO across the three depths (near-surface, mid-water-column, and near-bottom) or …

Use of Lidar Data to Investigate the Influence of Bottom Friction Coefficients for Storm Surge Modeling of Hurricane Michael in the Florida Panhandle
… ADCIRC, an unstructured finite element mesh (NGOM-RT) was used to simulate storm surge using both the lidar based Manning’s <em>n </em>and a comparative LULC-based Manning’s <em>n</em>. Once modeled, the values were compared and determined to be statistically different, with the floodplain …

Examining the Impact of Bonnet Carré Spillway Opening on Hypoxia Evolution in the Mississippi Sound and Bight: A 2019 Case Study
<p>In 2019, the Bonnet Carré Spillway (BCS) was opened twice, releasing unprecedented volumes of low-salinity, highly polluted water from the Mississippi River into the Mississippi Sound and Bight (MSAB). These events dramatically altered the region's salinity, circulation, and ecological …
