... The sources of sediment to the Southern California Bight were investigated with new calculations and published records of sediment fluxes, both natural and anthropogenic. We find that rivers are by far the largest source of sediment, producing over 10 × 10 6 t/yr on average, or over 80...

... of this shelf is very similar to an equilibrium shape predicted by gravity-current sediment transport. Thus, we conclude that a wide distribution of river-shelf settings occur in the Southern California Bight, which will directly influence sediment dispersal processes—both dilute suspended and gravity-current...

... Sediment discharged into the portion of the Southern California Bight extending from Santa Barbara to Dana Point enters a complex system of semi-isolated coastal cells, narrow continental shelves, submarine canyons, and offshore basins. On both the Santa Monica and San Pedro margins, 210 Pb...

... In the past decade, several large programs that monitor currents and transport patterns for periods from a few months to a few years were conducted by a consortium of university, federal, state, and municipal agencies in the central Southern California Bight, a heavily urbanized section...

... More than 30 million dollars are expended annually to assess environmental quality of the Southern California Bight, yet only 5% of the Bight area is surveyed on an ongoing basis. Because decision makers lacked the data to make regional assessments of ecosystem condition, multiple stakeholders...

... A comparison of foraminiferal faunal trends in pristine and impacted regions on the continental shelf and slope of the Southern California Bight, as well as variations in the temporal foraminiferal distribution patterns from 1955 to 1998, suggest that the benthic microfaunal communities have...

... We analyzed wave and wind data from 18 buoys in the Southern California Bight to characterize the spatial and temporal variability of the regional wave climate. Point Conception shelters most of the Bight from being directly impacted by North Pacific weather. The wave height inside...

Location of the Santa Barbara Basin (SBB) within the Southern California Bight (SCB) and major surface circulation within the SCB (adapted from Dailey et al., 1993). The horizontal line at 33° N marks the boundary between all year round upwelling and winter downwelling since 1976 according to Norton et al. (1985).

Comparison of major diagnostic palynologic parameters with various records of average temperature from the Southern California Bight and three point moving average of respective graphs. The “+” on the graph mark recorded episodes of strongest upwelling events at about 33°N prior to 1983 (Norton et al. 1985). Average sea-surface temperature between 30°–40°N is modified from Williams et al. (1980). The horizontal lines are the same as in Text-Figure 3.

Postmortem age-frequency distributions (AFDs) of shells of Parvilucina tenuisculpta (A) and Nuculana taphria (B) from four regions within Southern California Bight (USA), calibrated in years before A.D. 2003. Inset plots display AFDs of shells from the most recent 1000 yr. Curves show the fit of a one-phase model in which disintegration rates are constant (dashed gray line; Fig. 1A), which is the current paradigm used to quantify shell loss dynamics, and the fit of our two-phase model with an abrupt decrease in disintegration rates (solid black line; Fig. 1C).
