Journal ArticleDOI
210Pb sediment radiochronology: An integrated formulation and classification of dating models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a single fundamental equation, which relates excess 210 Pb concentration in sediment, its flux to the sediment surface and mass accumulation rate, to date sediment cores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Provenance and depositional history of continental slope sediments in the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico unraveled by geochemical analysis
John S. Armstrong-Altrin,María Luisa Machain-Castillo,Leticia Rosales-Hoz,Arturo Carranza-Edwards,Joan-Albert Sanchez-Cabeza,Ana Carolina Ruiz-Fernández +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the provenance and depositional history of continental slope sediments in the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico (~1089-1785m water depth) were studied for mineralogy, major, trace and rare earth element geochemistry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brookes,Ramunas Povilanskas,Valeriy Khokhlov +37 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assessed, quantified and valued the ecosystem services of 32 coastal lagoons and found that the definitions of ecosystem services are still not generally accepted, and the quantification of ecosystem service is made in many different ways, using different units.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shrimp aquaculture development and the environment in the Gulf of California ecoregion
Federico Páez-Osuna,Adolfo Gracia,Francisco Flores-Verdugo,L P Lyle-Fritch,Rosalba Alonso-Rodríguez,A Roque,Ana Carolina Ruiz-Fernández +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that environmental degradation resulted from a conjunction of factors including agriculture, untreated municipal effluents, shrimp aquaculture, increasing number of fishermen, and an absence of an effective regulatory program.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluxes and mass balances of nutrients in a semi-intensive shrimp farm in north-western Mexico
TL;DR: A mass balance model was developed for nitrogen and phosphorus and fluxes estimated included shrimp feed, fertilization, shrimp stocked, harvest, macrofauna associated, water exchange, filling and drainage, and the farms could represent a load corresponding to the untreated sewage generated by 56 200-192 750 and 43 500-149 170 people in terms ofnitrogen and phosphorus discharged annually.
