Water Resources Research, 2021 Water quality in tropical rivers is changing rapidly. The ongoing boom of dam construction for hydropower is one of the drivers for this change. In particular, the stratification in tropical reservoirs induces oxygen deficits in their deep waters and ...

Accounting for surface waves improves gas flux estimation at high wind speed in a large lake [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2021 The gas transfer velocity (k) is a major source of uncertainty when assessing the magnitude of lake gas exchange with the atmosphere. For the diversity of existing empirical and process-based k models, the transfer velocity increases with the level of ...

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 In Lake Tanganyika, blooms of nitrogen-fixing (diazotrophic) cyanobacteria emerge, when the upper water column re-stratifies after a period of upwelling and convective mixing.

Lake mixing regime selects apparent methane oxidation kinetics of the methanotroph assemblage [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2020 In lakes, large amounts of methane are produced in anoxic sediments. Methane-oxidizing bacteria effectively convert this potent greenhouse gas into biomass and carbon dioxide.

SpringerPlus, 2016 Freezing, melting, evaporation and condensation of water are essential ingredients for climate and eventually life on Earth. In the present work, we show how surface freezing of supercooled water in an open container is conditioned and triggered-exclusively-by humidity in air. Additionally, a change of phase is demonstrated to be triggered on the water

Contamination of surface waters by mining wastes in the Milluni Valley (Cordillera Real, Bolivia): Mineralogical and hydrological influences [PDF]
, 2008 This study is one of very few dealing with mining waste contamination in high altitude, tropical-latitude areas exploited during the last century. Geochemical, mineralogical and hydrological characterizations of potentially harmful elements (PHEs) in ...

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2023 Billions of tons of hazardous mine waste are stored in thousands of tailings storage facilities around the world. These impoundments represent one of the most important environmental risk factors of industrial mining, since occasional tailings spills or ...

Estimation of deep infiltration in unsaturated limestone environments using cave lidar and drip count data [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Limestone aeolianites constitute karstic aquifers covering much of the western and southern Australian coastal fringe. They are a key groundwater resource for a range of industries such as winery and tourism, and provide important ecosystem services such

The Water-surface “Halo.” [PDF]
Nature, 1913 THE “Halo.” which a happy memory of eighty years enables the Rev. O. Fisher to recall in NATURE of February 6 was probably one to which the explanation offered by Dr. Franklin Parsons does not apply.
