Use of Stable Isotopes, Tritium, Soluble Salts, and Redox-Sensitive Elements to Distinguish Ground Water from Irrigation Water in the Salton Sea Basin
Evaporative concentration of irrigation water diverted from the Colorado River to the Salton Sea basin for several decades has produced an overlying system (that includes drainwater and...

Potential Effects of Global Climate Change on the Central and Southern Florida Project
The possible impacts of some potential climate change effects such as sea level rise, changes in tropical cyclone intensity and frequency, and changes in precipitation and temperature...

Numerical Model Development for Oil Spill Dispersion into the Marine Environment
A 3-D oil spill model was developed to study the behaviour of heavy spilled oil in the sea. The model could describe the behaviour on the spilled oil on the sea surface, throughout the...

Seawater Delivery for Use in Aquaculture Development
Seawater is used extensively in industrial and aquacultural developments world wide, and aquaculture in particular requires large quantities of seawater. Development and design of facilities...

Coastal Watershed Unit Hydrographs and Methods
The results of a study to determine unit hydrograph peak rate factors for South Carolina coastal watersheds are summarized and compared with traditional values. An extension to the SCS...

The Enhancement of Air-Sea Gas Exchange by Oceanic Whitecapping
The hypothesis that oceanic whitecaps and the accompanying buoyant bubble plumes greatly enhance the air-sea transfer coefficient of gases subject to liquid phase control has recently...

Oceanic CO2 Uptake and Future Atmospheric CO2 Concentrations
The global pattern of water column inventories of bomb-produced 14C suggests that an upwelling of bomb 14C-free...
