Clay minerals: Researchers observe for the first time how sediment particles align during deposition
Clay minerals are a major constituent of the earth's surface and are mainly found in the sediments of lakes, rivers and oceans. The properties of clay and claystone crucially depend on how the tiny ...
Beavers and the dams they build promote sediment deposition and modify channel and floodplain morphology and physical complexity. Beaver activities may result in increased watershed-scale water and ...
A new IAEA Coordinated Research Project (CRP), entitled Development of Radiometric Methods and Modelling For Measurement of Sediment Transport in Coastal Systems and Rivers, will investigate how ...
Climatic variability like precipitation changes or increase in extreme events such as storms and tropical cyclones is known to significantly modify the Earth's surface. Yet, our understanding of how ...
‘Mud glaciers’ and sand waves: Unearth trapped sediment’s influence on the ever-changing Lake Powell
Sand waves flow behind Jack Stauss, repeatedly rolling and breaking near a debris-heavy section of the river as he discusses sediment-related phenomena in Lake Powell. “That’s the delta making itself ...
Lake Powell • As the Colorado River approaches the still waters of Lake Powell, the pace of the current quickens. Chains of standing waves form out of nowhere, grow in size until they are capped with ...
In two recent papers, Saint Louis University researchers report finding high concentrations of microplastics present in a Missouri cave system that had been closed to human visitors for 30 years.
