Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia, A.K.A. “The Dead Zone”
TL;DR: P Paleoindicators in dated sediment cores indicate that hypoxic conditions likely began to appear around the turn of the last century and became more severe since the 1950s as the nitrate flux from the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico tripled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global change and eutrophication of coastal waters
TL;DR: Rabalais et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed that global climate changes will likely result in higher water temperatures, stronger stratification, and increased inflows of freshwater and nutrients to coastal waters in many areas of the globe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrient changes in the Mississippi River and system responses on the adjacent continental shelf
Nancy N. Rabalais,R. Eugene Turner,Dubravko Justic,Quay Dortch,William J. Wiseman,Barun K. Sen Gupta +5 more
TL;DR: The Mississippi River system ranks among the world's top 10 rivers in freshwater and sediment inputs to the coastal ocean and contributes 90% of the freshwater loading to the Gulf of Mexico, and terminates amidst one of the United States' most productive fisheries regions and the location of the largest zone of hypoxia, in the western Atlantic Ocean as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coastal eutrophication near the Mississippi river delta
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence of eutrophication of the continental shelf near the outflow of the Mississippi river, obtained by quantifying biologically bound silica (BSi) in diatom remnants within dated sediment cores.
