		The dead zone is a seasonal occurrence triggered by the high influx of nutrient-laden freshwater washing down from the Mississippi with the onset of melting snow and spring rains; it typically forms in May - though sometimes as early as February - and remains until September or October.
		The dead zone forms in one of the most productive fisheries areas of the United States, and has led to increasing concern that catches are being adversely affected - or will be affected if hypoxic conditions continue or worsen.
		The primary human-related factor in the formation of the dead zone is agriculture.

		Dead zones are ocean areas with very little oxygen— also known as hypoxic.
		Duke University marine biologist Larry Crowder, who is working on a study of growth rates in gulf shrimp which suggests the dead zone is linked to a decrease in their size, explains: "Basically the nitrogen makes its way downstream with the fresh water in the Mississippi river drainage.

		July 26, 2004 — A team of NOAA scientists, the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium and Louisiana State University is forecasting that the "Dead Zone" off the coast of Louisiana and Texas this summer should be roughly the same size as it has been since 1990.
		This summer's Dead Zone is predicted to be between 4,100 and 6,500 square miles, an area the size of Connecticut and Rhode Island combined.
		Multiple models of the size of the hypoxic zone are useful in evaluating the influence of nitrogen load and variations in ocean currents on the size of the Dead Zone.

	The Dead Zone Review - David Croneberg
		This neglect was a secret shame that I always carried with me, as the film was almost unanimously recommended to me by those who had seen it and I truly felt I could never be a part of the in-crowd until I made up for this deficiency.
		I knew it was about a guy who has a car accident and wakes up with the ability to visualize events that will occur in the past, present or future of people whom he comes in physical contact with.
		I was interested to note that the film was directed by the controversial David Cronenberg. Cronenberg is definitely one of those “love him or hate him” types of guys, though for me it occurs on a case by case basis.

		The Dead Zone, David Cronenbergs' attempt to inject some intelligence into his horror is placed somewhere in the middle.
		The film is a very close adaptation of the book, although it does skip over the relationship between Johnny Smith (Walken) and Sarah (Brooke Adams) that features throughout the first 200 pages of the novel and leaves it slightly unexplained due to not developing their bond.
		It also fails to explain the full reaching implications of "The Dead Zone" that make the book a very enlightened piece of writing.

		Released in 1983, The Dead Zone is one of the few filmings of King’s work that stands comparison with the novel it’s based on.
		The Dead Zone centres around the strange happenings in the life of generically-named teacher Johnny Smith (Walken), who is involved one night, through no fault of his own, in an horrific car accident, one which very nearly kills him.
		Fans of The Dead Zone - as well, of course, as new viewers - are in for a treat here, with a video transfer that borders on the superb, especially given the age of this 1983-release, relatively low-budget film.

	USGCRP Seminar: Origin, Impact, and Implications of the "Dead Zone" in the Gulf of Mexico
		The phenomenon is known as hypoxia, but has been dubbed the "dead zone" by environmentalists and fishermen.
		The scale of the Mississippi River watershed and the size of the hypoxia zone in the Gulf, however, are daunting barriers to success which is likely to come slowly.
		In general, during dry years there is little rainfall to transport nitrogen from the soil and unsaturated zones to streams, and nitrogen flux (particularly nitrate) is low.

		With the Dead Zone, and with other shows based on novels, something in the story sparked the imagination with the producers of the show, probably wanting to know more about the characters; answering the questions by writing the episodes we see now.
		The episode was a series of dead zone visions, just as the past weeks episode where he slept with the woman trying to decide if she was going to except her boyfriends proposal was also one continuous dead zone vision with details changed over and over until he got the outcome he wanted.
		"The Dead Zone" was one of Steven King's most though-provoking books,and that that continuing Johnny's life on the show has offered a deeper insight on how we live our lives.
