Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems
California's average gas price crept above 5 dollars per gallon on Monday for the first time in history. De Haan told SFGate that an average gallon of gas in California costs 6 dollars, and a growing number of gas stations charged 8 dollars or more.■...
Coastal wetlands harbour unique biodiversity adapted to the often salty, frequently flooded transitional habitats between land and ocean. Plant species diversity is generally low in coastal wetlands (the species diversity of algae, such as those on tidal flats, has been less studied). For example, ...
Tianjin, a coastal city in northern China on the shore of the Bohai Sea, is one of the cities the world's second-largest economy will invest in over the next few years. Tianjin used to be the only Chinese city that had nine concessions from the 1860s to the 1940s, hence the city'...
of the river basins, with higher cropcover occurring to the north, where soils are better drained, than to the south. The major cities in the region are often the oldest cities, which either developed along the coast (Norfolk, Wilmington, Charleston,Savannah, Jacksonville) or near the Fall ...
In California, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and other asset owners in the coastal zone are repairing and adapting many sections of transportation systems to address flooding and erosion while ensuring the vitality of coastal resources along transportation corridors now and into ...
We traced the boundary between the Central and Coastal belts in northern California using the staining method. Along the gently eastward-dipping thrust plane between the underlying Coastal and overlying Central belts, more than 2.5 kbar pressure break is obtained through the lawsonite-laumontite-...
A long-term moored array was maintained over the northern California continental shelf from April 1981 to April 1983 as part of the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Experiment to determine the seasonal differences in the current and water temperature characteristics. The array consisted of two midshelf moorings...
Our California coastal drive itinerary is a one-way trip that begins in San Francisco and ends in Los Angeles. Although there are numerous ways to break up the route, we designed a 3-night, 4-day California road trip between the two cities. ...
In June 1987 the geostropic flow in the coastal transition zone off northern California (between 50 and 150 km off the coast from Point Reyes to just north of Cape Mendocino) was dominated by a well-defined, southward-meandering current. Three vertical sections are presented that show the hydr...
