The continental slope of the northern Gulf of Mexico margin (Texas–Louisiana slope) displays a bathymetrically complex morphology that terminates abruptly in the Sigsbee escarpment in the central Gulf, and is filled in by the head of the Mississippi fan to the east (Steffens et al., 2003). The hallmark of the central Gulf continental slope is the presence of numerous closed to partially closed, equidimensional, slope “minibasins,” each some tens of kilometers in diameter.
Dec 1, 2022 · The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) contains a wide range of ecosystems that provide important services and play a critical role in supporting the Gulf coast, United States, and international economies. For example, according to NOAA Fisheries in 2019, GOM commercial seafood landings revenue in the United States was $1.4 billion and accounted for 15% of the total national landings revenue.
Jan 1, 2022 · The Gulf of Mexico is an isolated oceanic basin whose nature, structure and age are not fully elucidated, mostly because seafloor spreading isochrons have not been identified in this basin so far. We compiled and processed all publicly available marine magnetic data to produce a new magnetic anomaly map of the Gulf of Mexico.
Jan 1, 2004 · The Gulf of Mexico must be a priority for a global environmental facility (GEF) initiative concerning regional natural resources and ecosystem management. • The Gulf of Mexico is a shared international ecosystem and should be a top priority for the USA and Mexico. •
Jun 1, 2007 · Map showing distribution of allocthonous salt in the Gulf of Mexico and along the U.S. Gulf Coast (from Diegel et al., 1995). While rotary sidewall cores are extremely expensive to recover, drill cuttings are, on the other hand, automatically returned to the floor of the drill ship with a fraction routinely sorted and archived on typically tens or hundreds of feet intervals.
Jun 1, 2022 · The Papaloapan River basin (17°19° N and 95°–97° 40′ W) is the second largest hydrological basin in Mexico, drains 39,189 km 2 of catchment area before reaching the Gulf of Mexico with an annual volume of discharge of 39,175 km 3. The Papaloapan River flows into the Gulf of Mexico through the Alvarado lagoon, Veracruz State.
Jan 5, 2022 · The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is a prolific petroleum basin at the southern edge of the North America tectonic plate (Fig. 1) with more than a century long exploration history. Despite a vast number of wells that have been drilled and large amounts of geophysical, geochemical and geological data that have been acquired in the basin, its tectonic history remains debated by the geoscientific community.
Dec 15, 2018 · The Gulf of Mexico is a valuable region for advancing understanding of global change impacts to mangrove forests because, in addition to a rich legacy of ecological research, coastal wetlands in the region are abundant and span multiple ecologically-relevant abiotic gradients (López-Portillo and Ezcurra, 2002; Méndez-Alonzo et al., 2008; Day ...
May 22, 2020 · Gulf of Mexico Red Snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) is one of the most important and controversial species fished in the United States and is at the nexus of three multimillion-dollar industries: directed recreational fisheries, directed commercial fisheries, and bycatch in commercial penaeid shrimp trawls (Gallaway et al., 2017).
Nov 1, 2012 · The Gulf of Mexico Alliance has also been supporting Hg science in the Gulf of Mexico, needed to accomplish the long term goals of this study. Dr. Jane Caffrey (University of West Florida) and Nishanth Krishnamurthy (Florida State University) provided wet deposition data from the Pensacola Atmospheric Hg Study and Hg wet deposition data were obtained from the NADP/MDN network.
