- The Gulf of Mexico - ScienceDirect
The Gulf of Mexico (GOM) is a marginal sea of the Atlantic Ocean bordered by five states of the United States on the northern and the eastern border, five Mexican states on its western and southern border, and Cuba to the southeast (Fig 18 1) The GOM is ninth, fifth, and ninth among oceans and semienclosed seas in terms of its area (1,507,639 km 2), average depth (1615 m), and volume
- The economic significance of the Gulf of Mexico related to population . . .
The Gulf of Mexico is a major economic asset to the 11 states in the United States and Mexico that surround its shores The potential impact of a post…
- Ocean acidification in the Gulf of Mexico: Drivers, impacts, and . . .
We synthesize the current peer-reviewed literature on Gulf of Mexico (GOM) acidification across the ocean-estuarine continuum and identify critical knowledge, research, and monitoring gaps that limit our current understanding of environmental, ecological, and socioeconomic impacts from acidification
- Gulf of Mexico - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
The Gulf of Mexico refers to an economically important basin with a long history of hydrocarbon exploration It is a region that has been the subject of debate due to limited data and proprietary industry information, but collaborative efforts between industry and academia are essential for understanding its formation
- Mangrove forests in a rapidly changing world: Global change impacts and . . .
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 et al , 2013; Yáñez-Arancibia et al , 2014
- 3D mapping of intruding salt bodies in the subsurface of the Gulf of . . .
Here, we show how mapping Louann salt bodies using a multi-z tool can enhance salt-geometry visualization and interpretation in the Gulf of Mexico to better understand salt tectonics
- The Gulf of Mexico: towards an integration of coastal management with . . .
The Gulf's drainage system covers more than 60% of the US and more than 40% of Mexico, with a coastline of 2934 km in the US and 3200 km—including the Caribbean littoral—in Mexico The Exclusive Economic Zones of three countries, USA, Mexico and Cuba, converge in the Gulf
- Structure, age, and tectonic evolution of the Gulf of Mexico
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
