Poster Number:  241 Presenter/Primary Author:  Giulio Mariotti A dynamical model for the morphological evolution of channels and tidal flats is proposed.

Sea level, current, and surface wave variability at the Moorea Coral Reef LTER site

Poster Number:  233 Presenter/Primary Author:  Libe Washburn As part of the Moorea Coral Reef Long Term Ecological Research project we are examining the effects of sea level, surface gravity wave, and current variability on the coral reef ecosystem of Moorea

Coastal Dispersal in the Southern California Bight

Poster Number:  203 Presenter/Primary Author:  Leonel Romero A good understanding of the transport and dispersal of material in the coastal environment is important for several biological processes such as larval transport and the transport of nutrients to k

Observations of spatial variability in flow over coral reefs

Poster Number:  200 Presenter/Primary Author:  Jim Hench Although small-scale spatial flow variability can affect both larger-scale circulation patterns and biological processes on coral reefs, there are few direct measurements of flow patterns at scales

Water mass subduction and eddy effects on phytoplankton distributions in the Santa Barbara Channel, California

Poster Number:  198 Presenter/Primary Author:  Libe Washburn Observations using towed, undulating vehicles show that phytoplankton layers occur well below euphotic zone depths in the Santa Barbara Channel (SBC).  The deep layers are typically found wher
