Modeling Mercury Contamination In The Evreglades Ecosystem : From Atmospheric Transport To Wetland. by Shamlan, Munir, Koh, Hock Lye, Gooi, Bee Seung, Lee, Hooi Ling, DeAngelis, Donald, Teh, Su Yean

“…The Florida Everglades is a vast wetland of about 10,000km located in Southern Floridaof The United States Of America.Bioaccumulation of mercury in the aquatic food chain in the Florida Everglades has been concert for seversl decades.High mercury burdens of 2.5mg/kg have been recorded by the Florida Department of Health in the largemouth bass in the Everglades,a level that is deemed unsafe by all health-based standards.The major sources of mecury in the Everglades wetlands are deprived from industrial combustions and waste incinerations transportedthrough the atmosphere over different lenght scales.…”

Application of a Coupled Vegetation Competition and Groundwater Simulation Model to Study Effects of Sea Level Rise and Storm Surges on Coastal Vegetation by Su, Yean Teh, Turtora, Michael, Donald L., DeAngelis, Jiang, Jiang, Leonard, Pearlstine, Thomas, J. Smith III, Hock, Lye Koh

“…MANTRA is calibrated with salinity data and vegetation pattern for a coastal area of Florida Everglades vulnerable to storm surges. A possible regime shift at that site is investigated by simulating the vegetation responses to climate variability and disturbances, including SLR and storm surges based on empirical information.…”
