Impact of anthropogenic processes on rivers, estuaries, and lakes How do pollutants contribute to the acidification of rivers, estuaries, and lakes over large scales? On local scales? What is the relative contribution of atmospheric nitrogen and phosphorus to N and P in surface waters? Can common attributes of river, estuary, and lake systems be used to develop predictive models to mitigate the anthropogenic impacts to these systems? Can we model whole ecosystems to predict the quality of rivers and estuaries over large spatial and temporal scales and develop effective engineering controls? How do currents and tidal flows determine the disposition of suspended contaminants, particles, and biological species? How are these processes affected by various methods of remediation? What physical, chemical, and biological processes influence eutrophication, and how do these processes affect the ecosystem? What is the distribution of salinity in estuarine systems? What are the factors that affect salinity changes at various time scales, and what impact does salinity distribution have on biological species? How do population trends, land use, industrial and urban processes affect the water quality in rivers, lakes, and estuaries? |
