Invisible clouds of sediment created by underwater mining spread for miles, putting ocean floor ecosystems at risk.

The Eagle River seems to have largely recovered from an Aug. 16 sediment flow. The sediment, flowing into the river from Alkali Creek just west of Wolcott, muddied the river almost to Eby Creek in ...

New guide will assist practitioners to assess role of sediment flows in mangrove conservation and restoration projects. Mangroves are an amazingly rich ecosystem, supporting biodiversity, providing ...

An international team of researchers has successfully captured the internal structure of the longest-runout sediment flow ever recorded on Earth. Using seismic measurements, the researchers have for ...

Sediment transport and shallow water flow modelling constitute a critical nexus between theoretical hydrodynamics and practical applications in environmental engineering, flood management and riverine ...

A technical report that models the flow rates of water and sediment from the Mississippi River is now at the center of a new controversy around the massive $3 billion Mid-Barataria Diversion project, ...

Prompt action by scientists recovered sensors drifting across the Atlantic Ocean that held data on a seabed sediment avalanche that travelled for 1,100 km to ocean depths of 4,500 km. A study ...

Carbon flow from benthic diatoms to heterotrophic bacterial was traced in an intertidal sediment for 5 consecutive days. 13C-labeled bicarbonate was sprayed onto the sediment surface during low tide ...

Lewis and Clark Lake is slowly turning into a mudflat. Every year, 5 million tons of sediment flow into the reservoir. Since the 1950s, it’s lost 30% of its storage — and by 2045, it may be half full ...
