New guide will assist practitioners to assess role of sediment flows in mangrove conservation and restoration projects. Mangroves are an amazingly rich ecosystem, supporting biodiversity, providing ...

Scientists discovered that wrinkled rocks in Morocco were formed by deep sea microbes that survived without sunlight.

An international team of researchers has successfully captured the internal structure of the longest-runout sediment flow ever recorded on Earth. Using seismic measurements, the researchers have for ...

The Eagle River seems to have largely recovered from an Aug. 16 sediment flow. The sediment, flowing into the river from Alkali Creek just west of Wolcott, muddied the river almost to Eby Creek in ...

Prompt action by scientists recovered sensors drifting across the Atlantic Ocean that held data on a seabed sediment avalanche that travelled for 1,100 km to ocean depths of 4,500 km. A study ...

Sediment transport and shallow water flow modelling constitute a critical nexus between theoretical hydrodynamics and practical applications in environmental engineering, flood management and riverine ...

Scientists have measured an underwater mud avalanche that lasted two days and crossed more than 1,100 kilometers across the Atlantic Ocean floor. The sediment avalanche, or turbidity current as the ...

Slowly but surely, the world’s reservoirs are getting gunked up with sediment. In an unblocked river, the flowing water carries bits of sediment along—picked up from river banks or swept into the ...

Carbon flow from benthic diatoms to heterotrophic bacterial was traced in an intertidal sediment for 5 consecutive days. 13C-labeled bicarbonate was sprayed onto the sediment surface during low tide ...

A technical report that models the flow rates of water and sediment from the Mississippi River is now at the center of a new controversy around the massive $3 billion Mid-Barataria Diversion project, ...
