RELATIVE SEA LEVEL RISE EFFECTS AT THE MARAMBAIA BARRIER ISLAND AND GUARATIBA MANGROVE: SEPETIBA BAY (SE BRAZIL)

Leaf damage in a mangrove swamp at Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

(Leaf damage in a mangrove swamp at Sepetiba Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Leaf damage to Rhizophora mangle L., Avicennia schaueriana Stapf. & Leechman, and Laguncularia racemosa L. was studied in a two hectare mangrove swamp site in Sepetiba Bay. Seventeen arthropod morphospecies were identifi ed as being responsible for the damage, and their species diversity was highest on A. schaueriana, fo...

A Model for Simulating Barrier Island Geomorphologic Responses to Future Storm and Sea-Level Rise Impacts

Dai, H.; Ye, M., and Niedoroda, A. W., 0000. A model for simulating barrier island geomorphologic responses to future storm and sea-level rise impacts. Journal of Coastal Research, 00(0), 000–000. Coconut Creek (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. This paper presents the Barrier Island Profile (BIP) model, a new computer code developed to simulate barrier island morphological evolution over periods rangi...

Greenhouse Effect, Sea Level Rise, and Barrier Islands Case Study of Long Beach Island, New Jersey

Increasing atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide and other gases are expected to cause a global warming that could raise sea level a few feet in the next century. This paper examines four options by which barrier-island communities could respond, focussing on Long Beach Island, New Jersey. For the next few decades, the most common response will probably be to raise the islands in place b...

Coastal Geomorphic Responses to Sea Level Rise: Galveston Bay, Texas

Mercury Speciation Changes in Waters of the Sepetiba Bay, SE Brazil during Tidal Events and Different Seasons

Este estudo descreve as mudanças na especiação de Hg nas águas da Baía de Sepetiba, SE, Brasil, ao longo do gradiente estuarino, durante eventos de maré em diferentes estações. A avaliação química das águas da baía indicou uma exportação de material particulado em suspensão (MPS) pobre em carbono orgânico para a plataforma continental adjacente, principalmente durante a estação chuvosa e uma im...
