NCCOS and NGI Lead First Fisheries Monitoring Work...
Monitoring dead zone oceanographic parameters and understanding how hypoxia impacts fisheries in the region is key to a successful Cooperative Hypoxia Assessment and Monitoring Program. Credit: LUMCON NCCOS and NOAA’s ...
Mitigation Strategies for Harmful Algal Blooms Spa...
New NCCOS-sponsored research describes a paradigm shift in our understanding of the conditions that control eutrophication (nutrient overenrichment) and harmful algal blooms (HABs) across the freshwater-to marine continuum, and offers ...
NCCOS and NGI Lead Seventh Annual Hypoxia Research...
NCCOS is working with the Northern Gulf Institute (NGI) and Gulf of Mexico State partners to develop a robust and sustainable Gulf of Mexico-wide monitoring program for hypoxia. At the ...
Modeling Coastal Hypoxia: NCCOS Sponsored Research...
A new book highlights NCCOS sponsored hypoxia modeling. It contains original research on numerical simulations of the patterns, controls, and effects of dissolved oxygen dynamics. The book, Modeling Coastal Hypoxia, ...
Multi-pronged Modeling Yields New Guidance to Miti...
Several NOAA-sponsored models took center stage at a recent meeting of the Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Task Force Coordinating Committee. Results from the models offered the task force new guidance ...
NCCOS Awards $1.7M to Harmful Algal Bloom and Toxi...
The National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) awarded $1.68M (million) in Fiscal Year 2017 funding for nine research projects to identify conditions increasing bloom toxicity, model toxin movement from ...
Study Provides Nutrient Reduction Targets to Reach...
The Mississippi River/Gulf of Mexico Hypoxia Task Force (HTF) has made major strides in reducing point source nutrient pollution in the Gulf of Mexico watershed, and had some success in mitigating nonpoint ...
Gulf of Mexico ‘Dead Zone’ Largest Ever Measured
Scientists have determined this year’s Gulf of Mexico “dead zone,” an area of low oxygen that can kill fish and marine life, is 8,776 square miles, an area about the ...
NCCOS Research on Display at 2017 Aquatic Sciences...
The 2017 the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography Aquatic Sciences Meeting was held in Honolulu, Hawai′i. (Image courtesy of ASLO) From February 26 to March 3, 2017 ...
NOAA and Louisiana Collaborate on Mississippi Rive...
The 5th Annual NOAA/Northern Gulf Institute Gulf Hypoxia Research Coordination Workshop (see "previous workshops - 2014") brought together Louisiana state officials, federal and other state agencies, NGOs, and academic scientists ...

Natural and human-induced hypoxia and consequences for coastal areas: synthesis and future development
Hypoxia has become a world-wide phenomenon in the global coastal ocean and causes a deterioration of the structure and function of ecosystems. Based on the collective contributions of members of SCOR Working Group #128, the present study provides an overview ...
Numerical Modeling of Hypoxia and Its Effects: Synthesis and Going Forward
Numerical models can provide the needed information for understanding hypoxia and ensuring effective management, and this book provides a snapshot of representative modeling analyses of hypoxia and its effects. In this chapter, we used the modeling and analyses across the ...
Nutrient budgets and management actions in the Patuxent River estuary, Maryland
Multi-year nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) budgets were developed for the Patuxent River estuary, a seasonally stratified and moderately eutrophic tributary of Chesapeake Bay. Major inputs (point, diffuse, septic, and direct atmospheric) were measured for 13 years during which, large ...
Optimizing resource use efficiencies in the food-energy-water nexus for sustainable agriculture: from conceptual model to decision support system
Increased natural and anthropogenic stresses have threatened the Earth’s ability to meet growing human demands of food, energy and water (FEW) in a sustainable way. Although much progress has been made in the provision of individual component of FEW, it ...
Oxygen - Dynamics and biogeochemical consequences
Dissolved oxygen is a keystone molecule that is involved in the production, consumption, and cycling of organic matter and inorganic elements in the aquatic environment. The majority of multicellular plants and animals in coastal aquatic ecosystems require oxygen for proper ...
Physical (Hydrography), chemical (CTD), and biological (Water Quality) processes of the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf, 2012 (NCEI Accession 0162101)
Two sets of CTD data were taken during the 2012 surveys of the Louisiana continental shelf—Transect C off Terrebonne Bay and Transect F off Atchafalaya Bay and the 2012 Shelfwide Hypoxia cruise. Hydrographic data were obtained with the LUMCON SeaBird ...
Physical (Hydrography), chemical (CTD), and biological (Water Quality) processes of the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf, 2013 (NCEI Accession 0162440)
Two sets of CTD data were taken during the 2013 Shelfwide Hypoxia cruise off the Louisiana continental shelf. Hydrographic data were obtained with the LUMCON SeaBird 911+ CTD system and a YSI 6820. Nutrient, pigment, suspended sediment, surface salinity, Secchi ...
Physical (Hydrography), chemical (CTD), and biological (Water Quality) processes of the Texas-Louisiana continental shelf, 2014 (NCEI Accession 0161219)
Two sets of CTD data were taken during the 2014 Shelfwide Hypoxia cruise off the Louisiana continental shelf. Hydrographic data were obtained with the LUMCON SeaBird 911+ CTD system and a YSI 6820. Nutrient, pigment, suspended sediment, surface salinity, Secchi ...
Physical Drivers of the Circulation and Thermal Regime Impacting Seasonal Hypoxia in Green Bay, Lake Michigan
The physical processes that drive the circulation and the thermal regime in the bay largely control the duration and persistence of hypoxic conditions in Green Bay. A review of previous studies, existing field data, our own measurements, hydrodynamic modeling, and ...
Physical, chemical, and biological data collected in the Gulf of Mexico from 02 Feb 2010 to 28 Oct 2010 (NODC Accession 0117436)
Two sets of CTD data were taken during the 2010 surveys of the Louisiana continental shelf. Hydrographic data were obtained with the LUMCON SeaBird 911+ CTD system and a YSI 6820. Nutrient, pigment, suspended sediment, surface salinity, secchi depth, and ...
