Health risk assessment of heavy metal accumulation in fruits exposed to geothermal waters: a case study and global implications

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The present study investigated the potential health risks of heavy metals (HMs) in the fruits and leaves of mulberry and sour cherry trees exposed to water from Sivas geothermal basin (Turkey). RESULTS The target HMs were ranked according to their hazard index as: Cd < Pb < Zn < Cu < Ni < Mn < Cr. The total hazard index for mulberry

Energy Options to Reduce Deforestation Using EKC Model: A Region‐Based Longitudinal Approach

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Forests are carbon storage that can reduce carbon emissions, so deforestation (decrease in forest area) is a serious threat to environmental sustainability. Indonesia is a large carbon sink due to its large forests. However, deforestation is quite high due to economic activities that use fossil energy.

Rearrangement Towards Stability: Plastic Shakedown in Granular Materials Under Thermal Cycles

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Granular materials are routinely subjected to thermal cycling due to natural and anthropogenic phenomena. Despite the ubiquity of this occurrence and its relevance for science, engineering, and technology, the long‐term thermo‐mechanical response of granular materials to repeated heating and cooling remains poorly understood.

Monitoring shallow geothermal aquifers with active‐source distributed acoustic sensing: A prognostic feasibility study on the University of Leeds Geothermal Campus

Near Surface Geophysics, EarlyView.
Abstract The United Kingdom's shallow aquifers offer significant but underdeveloped geothermal energy resource. Seismic methods can help address this by improving the understanding of aquifer heterogeneity and potentially allowing long‐term monitoring of thermal plumes.

Multidisciplinary approach for the sustainable utilization of medium-low temperature geothermal resources [PDF]

, 2013
A growing interest in the applications of the medium-low temperature geothermal resources can be observed, but often a reference frame in this field does not exist. Different backgrounds are involved in the design and optimization of geothermal projects:

Modeled Subsidence of Permafrost Terrain 2025–2050: North‐Central Alaska

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A large fraction of the Alaska terrain is underlain by regolith that contains excess ice (ice that in volume exceeds the natural pore space). Possible loss of excess ice would lead to ground subsidence, which in turn would disturb and destabilize the ground surface.

Too Hot, Too Cold, Just Right: Thermal Modulating Capacity of Different Sources of Groundwater Discharge to Salmon‐Bearing Streams

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Groundwater discharge plays a key role in maintaining habitat suitability for cold‐water fish by generating streamflow and modulating temperatures. However, the thermal influence depends on groundwater source depth and how far groundwater travels from the point of discharge to a receiving stream.
