Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands

Water and Environment Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were

Characteristics and driving mechanisms of mixing and stratification in Suances estuary using the potential energy anomaly budget equation

Frontiers in Marine Science
The environmental variability of rivers and tides create complex mixing patterns, which modulate the estuarine ecosystem services. Therefore, a thorough understanding of these systems is vital, not only for their protection but also for their recovery ...

Simulation Analysis of Salt Diffusion at Wanquan River Estuary under Changing Environment

Renmin Zhujiang, 2022
The diffusion of offshore salt in inland rivers along with tidal waves has an important effect on the aquatic ecological environment of the estuary area.This paper,taking the Wanquan River Estuary as an example,used the Mike21 model to simulate the ...

Data‐Driven Emulation of Numerically Simulated Baltic Sea Surface Currents With a Deep Convolutional U‐Net: Explainability and Potential Forecast Skill

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Ocean models can represent surface circulation at kilometer scales, but their computational cost limits broad experimentation. We present DeepCUN, a deep convolutional encoder–decoder (U‐Net) that emulates daily mean Baltic Sea surface current components on a 1‐nautical‐mile grid.

Environmental consequences of ship-induced drawdown in shallow waterways [PDF]

Estuarine Management and Technologies
Much attention has been devoted to detrimental impacts of shipping on coastal and inland infrastructure recently. Yet, transport over water remains several times more energy efficient than alternative transport modes and therefore plays a crucial role in

Microplastics and nanoplastics in water: Improving removal in wastewater treatment plants with alternative coagulants

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 7, Page 3744-3757, July 2026.
The contaminant removal performance of a conventional coagulant, alum, and alternative coagulants, aluminium chlorohydrate (ACH) and ACH + pDADMC, are compared in challenging wastewater treatment conditions (pH >7.8). The interactions of each coagulant with a negatively charged surface are depicted based on quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation ...

Flood Hazard in Aotearoa New Zealand Under Current and Future Climates

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 3, July 2026.
First nationally consistent freshwater flood maps for Aotearoa New Zealand, produced for 1% AEP rainfall design events under current and future climate conditions (1°C, 2°C, 3°C, and 4°C above pre‐industrial), with 4 m‐resolution water depth and depth–velocity outputs. ABSTRACT Flooding is one of the costliest hazards facing Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ).
