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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Land use can exacerbate the rate of sediment delivery to estuaries. In particular, for catchments with steep terrain and heavy, sporadic rainfall, changes in land use can increase the risk of ...

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 ...

Suspended sediment fluxes to and from tidal wetlands are of increasing concern because of habitat restoration efforts, wetland sustainability as sea level rises, and potential contaminant accumulation ...

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 ...
