Extractions: This page features brief summaries of recently released research (or especially relevant research we have recently become aware of). In many cases, we include links to more detailed analysis of the results. Whenever possible, we also include links to online versions of the paper. For archives of research studies released in 2004: [GO THERE] In Southern Chile's Yaldad Bay, boat traffic has increased over the past 25 years due to increasing aquaculture activities. This study looked at the reactions of the Chilean dolphin to boat traffic. Boat strikes are not a significant threat, so we can assume that most of the response is noise-related. There were several behavioral responses noted, some of which varied depending on what they dolphins were doing. During foraging, swimming speed did not change, but reorientation rate (changes of direction) increased; it also took longer to re-establish the pre-boat patterns. When traveling, however, swimming speed increased, while reorientation rate did not change, and they returned to normal patterns more quickly. In all situations, the presence of a boat triggered more group cohesion. The researchers note that "these findings emphasize the need to consider boat traffic disturbance on cetaceans in coastal management plans." River Dolphins This paper is largely a population survey of Irrawadday river dolphins in the Mahakam River of Borneo (the species lives in just a few river systems in southeast Asia). The emphasis is on the critical need to establish some conservation areas, especially at river confluences, to assure the survival of the species. Rivers are difficult habitats to set aside preserves in, because they are used as highways for commerce, as well as being centers of subsistence activity (fishing and farming). One section highlighted noise impacts: "Noise pollution from high-speed vessels (4.6 boats/hr) causes the dolphins to dive significantly longer than usual when within 300m. Container barges (8.4 boats/day) pass through a narrow tributary which is primary dolphin habitat. Dolphins always changed their direction (if swimming upstream) when they encountered barges and moved downsteram ahead of the boats back to the confluence area."

Many of Peru's rivers are born in the Andes. Water trickles down from the glaciers and frigid highland plains, swelling into streams and rivers as it flows ever further from its source. The water that brings life to Peru's territory flows down to the two oceans that surround South America. Before flowing into the Atlantic Ocean, some rivers link up with the Amazon River, which features the world's greatest flow-rate (over 170,000 cubic meters per second) and the greatest diversity of fish species (over 2,000 species).

Extractions: Estuarine Ecology What is an Estuary? From Latin Aestus means heat, boiling; tide Aestaurium tidal Estuary A semi-enclosed coastal body of water that has a free connection with the open sea and within which seawater is measurably diluted with freshwater derived from land drainage. (Prichard 1967). This is somewhat imprecise; what about "Big Lagoon: along Pacific Coast of California? "Big Lagoon" is at the mouth of the Mad River, but occasionally it is isolated from the sea by an ephemeral sand bar. What about "estuaries" in the Great Lakes? Here there are tides, mixing, but no open sea, no salt. Also in flooded rivers, Amazon, Mississippi. Bay of Fundy - "tidal" influence reaches farther upstream than salt water. Negative estuaries are excluded by this definition.

http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Study/LBA/

Extractions: The Amazon River runs almost 4,000 miles from the Andes Mountains in the west to the Atlantic Ocean in the east. The river basin plays a key role in heat, moisture, and carbon cycles both regionally and globally. The region is also the most biologically diverse location on Earth, supporting perhaps half of all species on the planet. Located on the equator, Amazonia has a rainy season and a dry season, instead of the four seasons of temperate latitudes. The rainy season starts in the south in December, and gradually moves north through May. During this time the rains swell the rivers of Amazonia, creating extensive wetlands.

Extractions: Overview Images Goals History ... Science Team Overview The Flathead Lake Biological Station (FLBS) of The University of Montana with the Wild Salmon Center (WSC), Moscow State University (MGU) and other cooperators have assembled a multi-disciplinary team of scientists to document salmonid biodiversity and productivity, as controlled by natural and cultural processes, of a suite of pristine Pacific salmon river ecosystems (observatories). The research focuses on salmonid habitat requirements that appear to vary with life history stage and in relation to population structure. We believe that productivity of habitat is controlled by non-linear biophysical processes that create and maintain a dynamic or constantly Shifting Habitat Mosaic (SHM) throughout the river corridor from headwaters to the ocean. Human activities tend to reduce or dampen the variable nature of rivers in ways that should be predictable and, therefore, correctable given a robust understanding and modeling of salmon productivity and population dynamics in context of the SHM concept.

Extractions: by Steven Koppes Can Georgia estuaries survive impending coastal development? An aquarium gurgles gently along the wall of a conference room at the UGA School of Marine Sciences. The sound seeps into the room slowly, humbly, steadily, the way five Georgia rivers empty into the vast Atlantic Ocean. These rivers once seemed relentlessly endless in their volume. But to some they have begun to look as vulnerable and finite as the water in that aquarium. Scientists say that, until recently, they knew surprisingly little about the coastal ecology of Georgia, where rivers supply water for drinking, crop irrigation, and pulp and paper mills even for the nourishment of near-coast seafood harvests. In fact, some aspects of the complex interaction of rivers and oceans have perplexed researchers. "For a long time we thought the rivers came down and dumped water into the ocean and that was the end of it," UGA marine scientist Richard Wiegert said. "Here is this huge ocean. What impact do these rivers have? "Through their delivery of nutrients, through their delivery of pollutants if they are polluted and through their change in salinity, they really do have an impact," he said. "We recognize that now."

Extractions: website: http://www.esf.edu/course/kschulz The major objective in this semesters Topics in Aquatic Ecology course is to learn about the current state of aquatic science. Each week we will read both a review paper (preferably one written within the past decade) and one of the papers cited in the review paper. The review paper can be on any area of aquatic ecology from lakes to streams to wetlands to estuaries to oceans; from bacteria to plankton to fish; from littoral to pelagic to benthic. Some possible review papers and/or topics are listed on the following page. I encourage you to choose a topic different from your thesis research, but any review paper in aquatic science is fine. Journals such as BioScience, Aquatic Ecology, Annual Review of Ecology and Systematics, and Trends in Ecology and Evolution are some of the many good places to search for reviews. Choose papers and check them with me first, more than one week in advance. Two copies of the assigned papers will be placed in an envelope attached to my office door (456 Illick) a week before the seminar. Please take them only long enough to read or photocopy.

Services for Your River INTRODUCTION Governor George E. Pataki, on behalf of the people of the State of New York and in cooperation with the communities, non-profit organizations, businesses and residents of the Hudson River Valley, is pleased to nominate the Hudson River for designation as an American Heritage River. New Yorkers embrace this voluntary, non-regulatory program. On behalf of them, Governor Pataki commits the cooperation of all New York State programs to work in cooperation with local governments and non-profit organizations to promote economic development, environmental and natural resource protection, and historic and cultural preservation of the Hudson River Valley. The Hudson River is one of Americas most important commercial and recreational waterways, and one of the jewels of New York State. Truly, no other river is as deeply connected to Americas heritage as the Hudson. The Hudson was the first great river that settlers encountered in the New World, and it has been central to Americas identity ever since. The Hudson first connected the nations of the Iroquois, Algonquins and Mohicans and young America to the west. The Hudson River Valley is where the course of the Revolutionary War was changed forever, and Americas love of its landscape was born. Seven generations of farmers have tilled the fields of the Hudson River Valley and preserved its open spaces. The commercial lifeblood of the nation sailed up the Hudson and westward along the Erie canal.
