If you don't already have NASA's Earth Observatory site in your reader or bookmarked somewhere, you should. It has scores of fantastic images of Earth surface processes in action. If you are into ...

The proposed method can provide deeper insights into the sedimentation process during drilling, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of foundation construction practices in geotechnically ...

Several surveys have investigated the deposits located in the Galician rias, and those studies demonstrate an increase in the sedimentation rates upwards, which is attributed to the anthropic ...

A new study finds the sedimentation of asymmetric objects in liquid is very different from that of symmetrical objects like spheres. The research may have practical applications in improving water ...

Land use can exacerbate the rate of sediment delivery to estuaries. In particular, for catchments with steep terrain and heavy, sporadic rainfall, changes in land use can increase the risk of ...

Over geologic time scales, the Earth naturally captures carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through weathering of silicate rocks and sequesters it via the production of carbonate rocks. Ultimately, ...

Understanding why ocean water is salty but river water isn’t is a fascinating topic, and one that has intrigued scientists for centuries. The answer lies in a combination of geological and natural ...

Mr. Rahimzoda started his career of hydraulic engineer at Nurek HPP with the tallest earth-fill dam in the world, where he worked on dam safety protocols, management of reservoir and investigation of ...
