Effects of temperature on tidally influenced coastal unconfined aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Li Pu, Chenming Zhang

Aquifer-ocean temperature contrasts are common worldwide. Their effects on flow and salinity distributions in unconfined coastal aquifers are, however, poorly understood. Based on laboratory experiments and numerical simulations, we examined the responses ...

Inorganic carbon and nitrogen assimilation in cellular compartments of a benthic kleptoplastic foraminifer

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin, Maria-Evangelia Giovani

Haynesina germanica, an ubiquitous benthic foraminifer in intertidal mudflats, has the remarkable ability to isolate, sequester, and use chloroplasts from microalgae. The photosynthetic functionality of these kleptoplasts has been demonstrated by measuring ...

An overview of cellular ultrastructure in benthic foraminifera: New observations of rotalid species in the context of existing literature

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

We report systematic transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations of the cellular ultrastructure of selected, small rotalid benthic foraminifera. Nine species from different environments (intertidal mudflat, fjord, and basin) were investigated: Ammo ...

Cellular pathways of carbon and nitrogen assimilation in kleptoplastic foraminiferal species

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Kleptoplasty is the process by which an organism sequesters algal chloroplasts while discarding or digesting other algal components. This ability is encountered in different organisms, including benthic foraminifera. Among kleptoplastic foraminiferal speci ...

Statistical characterization of spatiotemporal sediment dynamics in the Venice lagoon

Andrea Rinaldo, Gianluca Botter

Characterizing the dynamics of suspended sediment is crucial when investigating the long-term evolution of tidal landscapes. Here we apply a widely tested mathematical model which describes the dynamics of cohesive and noncohesive sediments, driven by the ...

Impacts of wave and tidal forcing on 3D nearshore processes on natural beaches. Part I: Flow and turbulence fields

David Andrew Barry, Roham Bakhtyar

The major objective of this study was to develop further understanding of 3D nearshore hydrodynamics under a variety of wave and tidal forcing conditions. The main tool used was a comprehensive 3D numerical model – combining the flow module of Delft3D with ...

A benthic foraminifera species respond to anoxia with a strong metabolic shift suggesting a state of dormancy

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Low-oxygenation events are more and more frequent and strong on continental shelves and in coastal areas where renewal of bottom waters is slow. Among the meiofauna living in such environments, foraminifera are among the most tolerant to the lack of oxygen ...

Statistical mechanics of wind wave-induced erosion in shallow tidal basins: Inferences from the Venice Lagoon

Andrea Rinaldo

Wind wave-induced erosional effects are among the chief landscape-forming processes in tidal biomorphodynamics. Wave-driven bottom erosion, in fact, controls the equilibrium elevation and dynamics of subtidal and tidal flat surfaces, and the impact of wave ...
