Environmental variations in a semi-enclosed embayment

Small drains, big problems: the impact of dry weather runoff on shoreline water quality at enclosed beaches.

Enclosed beaches along urban coastlines are frequent hot spots of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB) pollution. In this paper we present field measurements and modeling studies aimed at evaluating the impact of small storm drains on FIB pollution at enclosed beaches in Newport Bay, the second largest tidal embayment in Southern California. Our results suggest that small drains have a disproportiona...

Variations of Mesozooplankton Composition in a Eutrophicated Semi-enclosed System (encerrada Bay, Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina)

Typology of Tarmeh in the Historic city of Bushehr

In the Architecture of Iran, the vernacular architecture of Bushehr’s historic city is distinctive since it is both introverted and extroverted and has different semi-open interior and exterior spaces. Tarameh is one of these semi-open spaces. Using a qualitative research method, conducting desk and field studies and reviewing the technical documents of the historic buildings of Bushehr, this p...

Biological modulation of upper ocean physics: Simulating the biothermal feedback effect in Monterey Bay, California

Marine phytoplankton and associated organic materials absorb a substantial quantity of solar shortwave energy penetrating the upper ocean. Most of this absorbed energy is lost as heat and thereby contributes to the warming of near-surface waters. Here we examine this biothermal feedback effect on upper ocean physics and air-sea energy exchange using a fully integrated ocean-atmosphere-biologica...

The study of Pabdeh-Asmari formations boundary based on calcareous nannofossil in one of the boreholes of Parsi Oil field, Dezful Embayment

In order to study calcareous nannofossils biostratigraphy, the upper part of Pabdeh Formation and the lower parts of Asmari Formation was selected in the one of the wells in the oil field Parsi in southwest of Iran. The study of calcareous nannofossil led to recognition of 39 species and 16 genera. According to the first occurrence of index species and distribution fossil assemblages, four bioz...
