The Reloncavi Fjord, a highly stratified estuary situated in Chilean Patagonia, is recognized for its abundant aquaculture production, yet it faces challenges due to harmful algal blooms. Our research focuses on understanding the controlling factors of circulation and\u00a0 exchange flow within this fjord, which involves a complex interplay of river discharge, wind, and tidal forces. To achieve this, we employ hydrodynamic models and the most recent framework for estimating the exchange flow (TEF).\u00a0 PhD student Elias Pinilla is working with Dr. Lauren Ross to study Reloncavi Fjord.

Para lograr esto, empleamos modelos hidrodin\u00e1micos y el marco conceptual m\u00e1s reciente para estimar el flujo de intercambio (TEF).
