New and revised groundwater snails (Mollusca, Caenogastropoda, Cochliopidae) from karst and associated hyporheic habitats in western Texas and northern Mexico [PDF]
The freshwater gastropod family Cochliopidae is a diverse component of the subterranean fauna in the karst and hyporheic habitats of western Texas and northern Mexico, with 11 genera and 27 described species found in the region.

Prediction, time variance, and classification of hydraulic response to recharge in two karst aquifers [PDF]
Many karst aquifers are rapidly filled and depleted and therefore are likely to be susceptible to changes in short-term climate variability. Here we explore methods that could be applied to model site-specific hydraulic responses, with the intent of ...

Comparison of Real Versus Synthetic NOM on Lead and Copper Release Using Dump and Fill Studies
ABSTRACT The main objective of this study was to evaluate and compare the impact of real and synthetic NOM on lead and copper release from galvanic corrosion. A 21‐week “dump and fill” experiment was completed using test pieces with new lead and copper pipes exposed to various drinking waters.

Karst aquifer phreatic zones are energy limited habitats supported by organic matter (OM) flow across physical and geochemical boundaries. Photosynthetic OM enters the Edwards Aquifer of Central Texas via streams sinking along its northeastern border ...

Human‐induced climate change is a driver of extinction, with extreme events occurring more frequently. It increases both the amount and fluctuations in environmental stress that organisms experience. In such environments, greater intra‐specific trait variation creates more potential for adaptation through natural selection.

Recent Advances in Tracer‐Aided Mixing Modeling of Water in the Critical Zone
Abstract Safeguarding water resources for society and ecosystems requires a comprehensive understanding of hydrological fluxes within the Critical Zone, Earth's living skin where the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere meet. For decades, tracer‐aided mixing models have been used to track water flow paths through the Critical Zone ...

Geomechanics of Flooding‐Induced Microseismicity—Implications for Post‐Mining Environments
Abstract Seismicity related to mining has gained considerable public attention in the last decades and is one of the reasons for mine closures in Germany. The seismicity in the Ruhr coal mining district of Germany has been monitored by different regional and (temporal) local networks and is classified as purely mining‐induced without evidence for ...
