Complex Contamination Research and Hazard Assessment of the Waste of the Wooden Railway Sleeper
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2018 Before being put to use, wooden railway sleepers are impregnated with creosote to increase their longevity and protect them from any adverse environmental impact. Creosote consists of a number of chemical substances, and some of those substances, namely,

Triple Oxygen and Hydrogen Isotopes of Soil Water Across Climates, Seasons, and Depths
Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Soil waters are a central component of the terrestrial water cycle. Their δ2H, δ18O, and d‐excess values contain rich information about hydroclimate, including the source of moisture and its evaporative history. Paleoclimate workers seek to investigate ancient hydroclimates via triple oxygen isotope geochemistry, termed Δ′17O, which is ...

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 2, June 2026.We placed 214 avian carcasses in a desert environment at locations not associated with infrastructure and monitored their removal by scavengers using camera traps. We found that 211 of the 214 carcasses were scavenged and median persistence time was 1.53 days. None of the predictor variables were informative of carcass persistence times.
