How much sediment does a river carry? Where does it all go? What happens along the way? How have human actions modified the way rivers work? Can rivers be restored after adverse affects from human ...

Deep-sea sediment cores are vital to our understanding of the past and present oceans. They record the geological history of the ocean basins, providing evidence for changing climates, emerging ...

Abstract: The overall objective of this paper is to report on the lessons learnt from applying Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) in a well guided sediment yield modelling study. The study area is ...

UMass Lowell Research Reactor offers Digital Neutron Radiography as a quality assurance and R&D tool for non-destructive inspection of mechanical parts, electronics, and assemblies, including voids; ...

Initiation of aeolian transportation is controlled by wind velocity, the characteristics of sediments, beach morphology, moisture content, and the degree of roughness elements present (e.g ...

These can cause erosion of the coast. Wind can also cause material to be transported, for example by longshore drift, which is where sediment moves along the coast in a zig-zag pattern in the ...

Carbon, a building block of life, is constantly moving through different environmental compartments such as biota, the atmosphere, the ocean, soil and sediment, as part of what is called ‘the global ...
