Shelf currents, ice and wind : a numerical modeling study
… favorable winds and barotropic background currents on shelf fronts are examined using numerical models. The models are configured with the characteristics of the East Greenland Current, north of the Denmark Strait, in mind. While the models are heavily idealized, basic physical parameters …

Late Devensian ice sheet dynamics and the deglaciation of the Hebridean shelf, western Scotland, UK
… (HIS) flowed across part of the western Scottish shelf to the shelf-break during the last glacial cycle and drained a large portion of the northern sector of the British Irish-Ice Sheet (BIIS). This area has not received much attention in past studies.<br/>This thesis aims to examine how the HIS …

Inner Shelf Circulation off Cartagena De Indias, Caribbean Coast of Colombia
… work studies temporal variability of the inner shelf circulation using experimental data collected near the city of Cartagena de Indias on the Colombian Caribbean Sea, from water depths varying from 7 to 20 m. The analysis has focused in two particular time scales: subtidal and diurnal. The …

Coastal sources of estuarine inflow
… channel next to a sloping, unstratified shelf with mixing provided by a single frequency, 12-hour tide. Inflow is identified using Total Exchange Flow method (MacCready, 2011) in conjunction with particle tracking. When there are no shelf currents, the source of inflow is influenced by …

Environmentally Sustainable Aquaculture: An Eco-Physical Perspective
… is the predominant mechanism forcing local shelf currents. Current meter data and numerical modelling tests from this study indicate that local winds explain the majority of water current variability on the shelf, generate the delivery of new nutrients to the shelf through upwelling, and …

Framework and Evolution of a Transgressed Delta Lobe: The St. Bernard Shoals, Gulf of Mexico
Four modern shoals on the Louisiana continental shelf are proposed to have formed through transgression, marine reworking, and submergence of Mississippi River deltaic lobes. However, one of these shoals, the St. Bernard Shoals, is dissimilar to the other shoals in morphology and stratigraphy. …
