Propagation of Ocean Water Level Signals Through a Dynamic Arctic Coastal Active Layer
Shifting of the saturated layer into zones of different hydraulic conductivity (K) and specific yield (Sy) results in variable degrees of signal attenuation as the active layer thaws. While the lower limit of the saturated zone is constrained by the base of the thawed zone, the upper limit is determined by fluctuating groundwater level as the coastal ...

Abstract The turnover rate of microbial cells drops steeply by increasing depth in the seabed, in accordance with the decreasing rate of organic matter mineralization. Bacterial endospore formation and germination may take place concurrently, yet their coupling to the mineralization rates during burial is poorly understood.

Using Fine Sediment Monitoring to Quantify Sand Loading Over Time
ABSTRACT Riverine sand loading can lead to geomorphic change, impacting river processes like lateral migration and vertical aggradation or degradation. Yet many sediment monitoring programs track only fine sediment measurable as total suspended solids (TSS). Here, we assess the ability for TSS data to be used to determine sand loading.

Abstract Interbasin groundwater flow (IGF) is increasingly recognized as an important but difficult‐to‐diagnose component of regional groundwater flow systems. Recent studies highlight that major rifts within the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin (YZRB) may facilitate IGF, but the role of all six major rifts remains unclear.

Autogenic Shoreline Migration and Its Effect on the Storage of Carbon in Marginal Marine Successions
Abstract The accumulation of organic matter (OM) near shorelines, known as blue carbon, is a key sink in the global carbon cycle. This accumulation is influenced by elevation relative to sea level of the delta‐top, which changes through the movement of shorelines with time.
