The three-dimensional biogeochemical model ECOHAM was applied to the Northwest European Shelf (471410–631530N, 15150W–131550E) for the years 1993–1996. Nitrogen budgets were calculated for the years 1995 and 1996 for the inner shelf region, the North Sea (511,725 km). Simulated temperatures as well as nitrate, oxygen, and chlorophyll concentrations are compared with observations. The mid-1990s ...

Droughts are one of the world’s most destructive natural disasters. In large regions Africa, droughts can have strong environmental and socioeconomic impacts. Understanding mechanism that drives drought predicting its variability is important for enhancing early warning disaster risk management. Taking North West Africa as study area, this adopted multi-source data various statistical analysis ...

—In temperate estuaries, nearshore nursery fish assemblages are influenced by environmental conditions that are present during and prior to the period of juvenile fish occurrence. An intensively sampled site (Patuxent River estuary) in mesohaline Chesapeake Bay provided 9 years of data for relating previous and current environmental variables with juvenile fish assemblages. Canonical correspond...

BARIC, A.; GRBEC, B., and BOGNER, D., 2008. Potential implications of sea-level rise for Croatia. Journal of Coastal Research, 24(2), 299–305. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. The Croatian coastline is long compared with the total national surface area. The coastal zone is mainly karstic and steep, with only one large alluvial plain, and contains approximately one-quarter of the total...

The recent paper by Ramesh et al. (2013) reports a crystallographic study on the tetrameric haemoglobin (Hb) isolated from the shortfin mako shark (Isurus oxyrinchus) (SMS). From the analysis of the overall and local features of the model the authors conclude that the structure corresponds to an unliganded deoxy T state conformation. Among the several distinct forms that tetrameric Hbs may assu...
