  Juniper Publishers -  Journal of Oceanography Abstract Many global aquatic ecosystems, particularly for those in high latitudes, are reported to be under pressure due to warming climate and anthropogenic interference. In this short article, we briefly discuss the two major environmental constraints for an aquatic ecosystem-streamflow and stream temperature, which haven't received enough attention thus with only sparsely available concurrent in-situ measurements across the globe. A novel numerical solution, i.e., the Dominant River-Tracing-based streamflow and Temperature (DRTT) model, is introduced, and it has been developed for the simulations of both daily streamflow and temperature along entire drainage networks for large regions, filling the data gap usually faced by aquatic ecologists. The DRTT model has been successfully applied in the study of freshwater salmon habitat and associated productivity in 1500 North Pacific Rim rivers. However, that study also indicated big chal

  Juniper Publishers -  Journal of Oceanography Abstract For many decades the State of North Carolina (NC) witnessed fish kills in its coastal waters, particularly its inshore coastal estuarine and riverine waters. This study looks at fish kill data collected from two adjacent coastal rivers, the Neuse River and the Pamlico River, which both experienced fish kills over an 11 year period, and looks at possible naturally occurring abiotic environmental factors which may have contributed to or been responsible for the documented numbers of fish kill events and the sizes of those individual and collective events. In our study, naturally occurring abiotic environmental factors, including excessive precipitation or the lack thereof, and seasonal atmospheric wind fields, and subsequent estuarine circulations, were found to be responsible for creating strongly vertically salt stratified conditions in both river- estuaries, lowering dissolved oxygen levels in the bottom layers in the two separa

  Juniper Publishers -  Journal of Oceanography Abstract At present, the World experiencing a high level of pollution due to anthropogenic activity and increasing Carbon Dioxode (CO 2 ) level in the atmosphere, which resulted in the global climate change and global warming. The world population is increasing at the same time the technology has also developed. Various anthropogenic activities cause a major impact of rising temperature in the atmosphere. The researchers are focusing on the biological ways to reduce CO 2  in the atmosphere and suggested that marine microalgae is the most promising approach to capture the CO 2  in the atmosphere and microalgae have the potential to utilize CO 2  as a carbon source for growth. The microalgae biofixation process is the main concept of sequestration. This article discusses that CO 2  capture by microalgae is a most preferable method compared to employing other terrestrial plants for carbon capture. Keywords:  Climate change; Carbon capture; M
