If you don't already have NASA's Earth Observatory site in your reader or bookmarked somewhere, you should. It has scores of fantastic images of Earth surface processes in action. If you are into ...

We use three sequential "water-sediment transport" numerical models to evaluate changes in fluvial sediment outputs for two near-future contrasting climate-change scenarios (warmer summers or warmer ...

The proposed method can provide deeper insights into the sedimentation process during drilling, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of foundation construction practices in geotechnically ...

Several surveys have investigated the deposits located in the Galician rias, and those studies demonstrate an increase in the sedimentation rates upwards, which is attributed to the anthropic ...

Harmful algal blooms pose growing risks to freshwater ecosystems, drinking water security, and public health. Yet despite their dramatic appearance at the water surface, the earliest stages of these ...

Over geologic time scales, the Earth naturally captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through weathering of silicate rocks and sequesters it via the production of carbonate rocks. Ultimately, ...

A new study finds the sedimentation of asymmetric objects in liquid is very different from that of symmetrical objects like spheres. The research may have practical applications in improving water ...

Understanding why ocean water is salty but river water isn’t is a fascinating topic, and one that has intrigued scientists for centuries. The answer lies in a combination of geological and natural ...
