Future studies could focus on recalibrating existing nutrient-loading models to these new hypoxic extent estimates to develop a refined understanding of how Gulf hypoxia may be changing over time.
These are the first Gulf hypoxic extent estimates to include "instrument bias adjustments" that account for the use of different sampling instruments, capable of being lowered to within different proximities of the sea floor, in different years.
GIS, geo-statistical analysis and 3D modelling [6 12]; are then employed for visualizing the pollution extents, estimating the volume to process (project dimensioning and costs) and planning/monitoring the remediation work at the general organisational site level.
To think about how reliable each source was, students took into account factors such as the author's background and expertise; his or her Associated Press affiliation (if any); whether the URLs ended in ".org" or ".gov," rather than ".com"; to what extent estimates were presented rather than actual figures; et cetera.
They also used pond data collected during the International Biological Program in the 1970s, including areal extent estimates, water depths, and pond depths, and compared those with field data collected from 2011 to 2013.
This study tests the response of river metabolism and loss in cotton strip tensile strength across a land use pressure gradient in non-wadeable rivers of northern New Zealand, and reports extent estimates for river metabolism and decomposition rates.
In this study, we investigate if and to what extent estimates of long-term erosion rates are consistent with information obtained over much shorter time spans for the Loam Belt of Belgium.
To check to which extent estimates (20) and (24) replace the usual linear representation formulas in the nonlinear case, the best thing to do is to see how they reproduce the behaviour of the nonlinear fundamental solution G p. We already know the optimality of estimate (20) from Theorem 2.
The most obvious benefit is the ability to quantify the uncertainty in extent estimates.
