«Given how widespread low - oxygen zones are in coastal waters worldwide, understanding these processes will allow us to predict the acidification of estuaries under expected increases in carbon dioxide and ongoing mitigation of nutrient inputs by management actions,» said Jeremy Testa, assistant professor at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science.

Reductions of excess nutrient input are possible, and addressing pollution both at global and local levels is important, noted Burkepile. (sciencedaily.com)
Her continued research with her students and two local universities, Universidad del Valle and Universidad de San Carlos in Lake Atitlan, has provided the quantification and improved understanding of biogeochemical process ecosystems that are being exposed to increasing nutrient inputs through human activities.
