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 ...

image: An MIT team has developed a more accurate formula to calculate how much sediment a fluid can push across a granular bed, which could help engineers manage river restoration and coastal erosion.

A submarine landslide boulder preserved in 240-million-year-old deep-sea sediments, Dolomite Mountains. In November 1929, a large earthquake severed a transatlantic cable connecting Europe with the ...

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 team has developed a more accurate formula to calculate how much sediment a fluid can push across a granular bed, which could help engineers manage river restoration and coastal erosion. The key to ...

It is planned near Myrtle Grove to rebuild and "nourish" wetlands in the Barataria Basin west of the Mississippi River. It is being designed to allow as much as 75,000 cubic feet per second of ...

Inside the Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, Wash., SALI the robot weighs small crucibles holding sediment. SALI stands for Sediment Analysis Laboratory Instrument. “This is the modern legacy ...
