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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have measured an underwater mud avalanche that lasted two days and crossed more than 1,100 kilometers across the Atlantic Ocean floor. The sediment avalanche, or turbidity current as the ...

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

Slowly but surely, the world’s reservoirs are getting gunked up with sediment. In an unblocked river, the flowing water carries bits of sediment along—picked up from river banks or swept into the ...

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, ...

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 ...

Seismic imaging detects subglacial sediments up to 650 feet thick, letting glaciers slide faster over soft beds than rock and ...
