journal imagesUMCES researchers are recognized worldwide for their contribution to expanding our understanding of coastal, marine and terrestrial ecosystems. That contribution is most evident in the number and quality of peer-reviewed journal articles published each year.

The UMCES in the Publications database is a searchable listing of our contributions to the scientific community.





How well do sediment indicators record past climate? An evaluation using annually laminated sediments
JOURNAL OF PALEOLIMNOLOGY
2011

The reliability of paleoclimatic inferences from lake-sediment records rests on the understanding of how various sediment indicators respond to environmental changes.

Assessing biomass gains from marsh restoration in Delaware Bay using Ecopath with Ecosim
ECOLOGICAL MODELLING
2011

The Delaware Bay ecosystem has been the focus of extensive habitat restoration efforts to offset finfish losses due to mortality associated with power plant water intake.

Nitrous oxide emission from denitrification in stream and river networks
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
2011

Nitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change and stratospheric ozone destruction.

Phosphorus Burial in Sediments Along the Salinity Gradient of the Patuxent River, a Subestuary of the Chesapeake Bay (USA)
ESTUARIES AND COASTS
2010

We used a sequential extraction technique and Pb-210 dating to determine the chemical form and amount of particulate phosphorus (PP) that is retained during burial in 1-m-long sediment cores collec

Integrating and Applying Science: A practical handbook for effective coastal ecosystem assessment
2010

Vast areas of the globe's coastal zone have experienced significant declines in ecosystem health.

Linking environmental nutrient enrichment and disease emergence in humans and wildlife
ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS
2010

Worldwide increases in human and wildlife diseases have challenged ecologists to understand how large-scale environmental changes affect host-parasite interactions.

Interesting Times for Marine N2O
SCIENCE
2010

Changes in ocean chemistry could exacerbate global warming by raising the atmospheric concentration of nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas.

Cold Deep Water in the South China Sea
JOURNAL OF OCEANOGRAPHY
2010

Two deep channels that cut through the Luzon Strait facilitate deep (>2000 m) water exchange between the western Pacific Ocean and the South China Sea.

Introduction to the special issue of Ecological Modelling: "Advances in Modeling Estuarine and Coastal Ecosystems: Approaches, Validation, and Applications" Preface
ECOLOGICAL MODELLING
2010

The development and application of ecosystem models in estuarine and coastal systems has grown exponentially over the past four decades.
