Global diversity of microbial communities in marine sediment
Significance Marine sediment covers 70% of Earth’s surface and harbors as much biomass as seawater. However, the global taxonomic diversity of marine sedimentary communities, and the spatial distribution of that diversity remain unclear.

The in vitro influence of the burrowing polychaete Nereis diversicolor on the fate of petroleum hydrocarbons in marine sediments [PDF]
The in vitro fate of the saturated hydrocarbon fraction (SF) of Arabian Light crude oil has been studied in PVC cores filled with a coastal marine sediment defaunated by sieving.

Hydraulic and mechanical properties of glacial sediments beneath Unteraargletscher, Switzerland: implications for glacier basal motion [PDF]
The force on a ‘ploughmeter’ and subglacial water pressure have been measured in the same borehole at Unteraargletscher, Switzerland, in order to investigate ice–sediment coupling and the motion at the base of a soft-bedded glacier.

Soil carbon and nitrogen erosion in forested catchments: Implications for erosion-induced terrestrial carbon sequestration [PDF]
Lateral movement of organic matter (OM) due to erosion is now considered an important flux term in terrestrial carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) budgets, yet most published studies on the role of erosion focus on agricultural or grassland ecosystems.

Supercarriers of antibiotic resistome in a world’s large river
Background Antibiotic resistome has been found to strongly interact with the core microbiota in the human gut, yet little is known about how antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) correlate with certain microbes in large rivers that are regarded as ...

A Machine Learning Model Relating Xrain and Rain Gauge
In the last decade, rainfall radars have been deployed at volcanoes such as Mt. Merapi in Indonesia and can even cover a whole country such as in Japan, where the X-Rain (eXtended Radar Information network) product has been available for local research ...

A physical model for seismic noise generation from sediment transport in rivers [PDF]
Measuring sediment flux in rivers remains a significant problem in studies of landscape evolution. Recent studies suggest that observations of seismic noise near rivers can help provide such measurements, but the lack of models linking observed seismic ...

Trends of surface humidity and temperature during 1951−2012 in Beijing, China [PDF]
In this paper, two datasets, a long time series (1951–2012) of daily surface observations at one meteorological station and a shorter time series (1979–2012) of three-hourly data with 0.1°×0.1° spatial resolution were analysed by using non-parametric ...
