Dissolved And Colloidal Element Transport Through The Coastal Transition Zone, Moo Joon Shim

Dissertations

There are several factors (e.g., hurricanes, floodplain, and anthropogenic sources) that could modify trace element behavior through the coastal transition zone (CTZ). However, there is still a lack of information about these variables in affecting trace elements in the CTZ. For this study, water samples were collected in the Pearl River (PR), Bay of St. Louis (BSL), and the Mississippi River plume to study the effects of these factors on trace element.

A possible effect of Hurricane Katrina on water quality was examined in the East Pearl River (EPR). Hurricane Katrina could have resulted in increased inputs of organic matter …

This is a verbatim reprinting of the paper with the same title published in Volume 3, Number 2 of this journal, which was so improperly laid out that reprints with the plates could not be made and the legends were missing.

Some Effects Of Hurricanes On The Terrestrial Biota, With Special Reference To Camille, Gordon Gunter, Lionel N. Eleuterius

Gulf and Caribbean Research

There have been very few articles concerning the effects of hurricanes upon marine and shore organisms. Some effects on fishes have been described by Hubbs (1962) and in that paper he reviewed some of the previous references.

Information on animals killed or injured by hurricanes is scarce because potential observers in areas where they strike are generally more concerned with practical personal matters than biological studies right after a bad storm. The senior author has been in or very close to seven West India hurricanes as they came ashore. Each time he was somewhat forewarned and had determined to make …
