    Controls on surface water carbonate chemistry along North American ocean margins

    The Atlantic and Gulf coasts The North American Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico (GOM) coastal regions are characterized by broad, shallow shelves influenced on the landward side by rivers and wetlands and on the seaward side by alongshore currents. Most notably, the northbound Gulf Stream Current system brings warm, high-salinity source waters from the tropics, […] More
