Book Description
ABSTRACT: This study focuses on the enhancement and application of a science-based tool-- an integrated 3D hydrodynamic-ecological model-- to enable improved understanding of estuarine ecosystems and help ecosystem managers to restore, protect, and manage estuarine ecosystems. The integrated modeling system, CH3D-IMS, includes coupled models of hydrodynamics, sediment transport, water quality, and light attenuation. In this study, CH3D-IMS is enhanced by the addition of several new features: a multi-algal group phytoplankton model, a sediment oxygen demand (SOD) model, a temperature model, a silica cycle, and the exchange of particulate nutrients between the sediment and water columns. This enhanced integrated modeling system was applied to Florida estuaries (Indian River Lagoon and Upper Charlotte Harbor) where extensive field data exist. In the Upper Charlotte Harbor, circulation and transport simulation from June 12th, 2003 to July 10th, 2004 were conducted. Due to the enormous size of the river basins, dramatically large salinity fluctuations are found in response to daily and seasonally varying freshwater inflows. The model predictions are validated with field data measuring water level, currents, salinity, and temperature. The low salinity during the high-runoff period often causes the diminishing of Halodule Wrightii (a dominant seagrass species in this area) whose growth rate quickly decreases at salinity

Book Description
This volume to discussing the various aspects of estuarine water quality modeling. Topics considered include fundamental principles, estuarine mass transport, BOD/DO and eutrophication model kinetics, kinetics on toxicants, and sediment-water interactions. The book also discusses mixing zone modeling and how to integrate estuarine hydrodynamic and water quality models. Many case studies demonstrating successful model applications are discussed.

Book Description
The aim of this edited volume is to introduce the scientific community to paleoenvironmental studies of estuaries, to highlight the types of information that can be obtained from such studies, and to promote the use of paleoenvironmental studies in estuarine management. Readers will learn about the the application of different paleoecological approaches used in estuaries that develop our understanding of their response to natural and human influences. Particular attention is given to the essential steps required for undertaking a paleoecological study, in particular with regard to site selection, core extraction and chronological techniques, followed by the range of indicators that can be used. A series of case studies are discussed in the book to demonstrate how paleoecological studies can be used to address key questions, and to sustainably manage these important coastal environments in the future. This book will appeal to professional scientists interested in estuarine studies and/or paleoenvironmental research, as well as estuarine managers who are interested in the incorporation of paleoenvironmental research into their management programs.

Book Description
Recent cooperative efforts between the University of Central Florida, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, and the South Florida Water Management District explore the development of a two-dimensional, depth-integrated tidal model for the Loxahatchee River estuary (Southeastern Florida). Employing a large-domain approach (i.e., the Western North Atlantic Tidal model domain), two-dimensional tidal flows within the Loxahatchee River estuary are reproduced to provide: 1) recommendations for the domain extent of an integrated, surface/groundwater, three-dimensional model; 2) nearshore, harmonically decomposed, tidal elevation boundary conditions.

Book Description
Estuaries and Wetlands are important coastal resources which are subject to a great deal of environmental stress. Dredging, construction, creation of intertidal wetlands, regulation of fresh water flow, and pollution are just a few of the activities which affect these coastal systems. The need to predict the effects of these perturbations upon ecosystem dynamics, particularly estuarine fisheries, as well as on physical effects, such as sedimentation and salt intrusion, is of paramount importance. Prediction requires the use of models, but no model is likely to be satisfactory unless fundamental physical, chemical, sedimentological, and biological processes are quantitatively understood, and the appropriate time and space scales known. With these considerations in mind, the Environmental Laboratory, U. S. Army Engineer Haterways Experiment Station,* Vicksburg, Mississippi, sponsored a workshop on "Estuarine and Wetland Processes and Water Quality Modeling" held in New Orleans, June 1979. The contents of this volume have been selected from the workshop papers. The resulting book, perhaps more than any other symposium proceed ings on estuaries and wetlands, attempts to review important pro cesses and place them in a modeling context. There is also a distinct applied tinge to a number of the contributions since some of the research studies were motivated by environmental assessments. The difference in title between this volume and the workshop re flects more accurately the contents of the published papers.
