Forces that shape the Earth's surface are recorded in a number of natural records, from tree rings to cave formations. In a recent study, researchers from The University of Texas at Austin show that ...

In this study, we present a numerical model for predicting sediment transport and the associated erosion and deposition processes in a natural reef area. The prediction system consists of several ...

Special Issue 65: Proceedings of the 12th INTERNATIONAL COASTAL SYMPOSIUM ICS 2013, Volume 1 (2013), pp. 624-629 (6 pages) Published By: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc. The radial sand ...

A large proportion of the carbon dioxide emissions that are currently being released into the atmosphere by human activities ...

New research from SFU’s Jeremy Venditti dives into the science of going with the flow predicting the evolution of the Earth’s surface. Researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and The ...

The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) rivers carry a massive sediment load that feeds the world’s largest depositional system: the GBM megadelta. The mass of sediment transported annually by the GBM ...

An experiment revealed that clouds of sediment disturbed by exploratory mining equipment on the seafloor tend to flow in dense sediment-laden currents that largely remain confined to an area only a ...

Trawling restrictions not only benefit fish and shellfish; anemones and corals are also becoming more common, according to a ...

A new opinion piece suggests that deep-sea mining would generate damaging sediment plumes and noise pollution that would negatively affect the midwater column, a critical ocean ecosystem that begins ...
