Improved marine debris detection in satellite imagery with automatic refinement of coarse hand annotations
Devis Tuia, Marc Conrad Russwurm, Elif Dilge Gül
Plastic litter is a major environmental hazard that endangers human, animal, and plant health on the planet. A substantial portion of plastic pollutants is washed from rivers and beaches into the oceans and aggregates at the surface as marine debris before ...
2023Insights into the Horizontal and Vertical Profiles of Microplastics in a River Emptying into the Sea Affected by Intensive Anthropogenic Activities in Northern China
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Yang Liu, Wenxin Liu
Studies focused only on surface water may underestimate microplastic abundance in aquatic environments. This was the first survey to investigate the vertical (surface, intermediate, and bottom waters) distribution and composition of microplastics (MPs) in ...
2021Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation applicability with the methane hydrate-bearing layer microbe
Production of methane gas from the methane-hydrate-bearing layer below the deep-ocean floor is expected to be crucial in the future of energy resources worldwide. During the methane gas-production phase from the methane hydrate with the depressurisation me ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2020Continuous in situ measurement of dissolved methane in Lake Kivu using a membrane inlet laser spectrometer
We report the first high-resolution continuous profile of dissolved methane in the shallow water of Lake Kivu, Rwanda. The measurements were performed using an in situ dissolved gas sensor, called Sub-Ocean, based on a patented membrane-based extraction te ...
Copernicus GmbH2020Effects of Anthropogenic Discharge and Hydraulic Deposition on the Distribution and Accumulation of Microplastics in Surface Sediments of a Typical Seagoing River: The Haihe River
Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Yang Liu, Wenxin Liu
Microplastics pollution in river systems has generated great concern; however, few studies have focused on the contributions of multiple influencing factors to microplastics in river systems. In the current study, we utilized data on microplastics in surfa ...
2020On the Metal Contents of Ocean Floor Nodules, Crusts and Massive Sulphides and a Preliminary Assessment of the Extractable Amounts
The metal contents of ocean floor nodules, crusts and massive sulphides was estimated and an assessment of their commercial extractability were conducted. The metals considered were iron, manganese, copper, nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, platinum, gold and si ...
Paul Scherrer Institute, World Resources Forum2019Sediment mass movement of a particle-laden turbidity current based on ultrasound velocity profiling and the distribution of sediment concentration
Giovanni De Cesare, Shun Nomura, Jumpei Hitomi
Particle-laden flows or turbidity currents along the seafloor are important to the formation and erosion of submarine topography. To understand the mass-transport process, flume tests were carried out with a continuous supply of quartz-laden suspension. Th ...
2018Experimental study on bedload transport, fluctuations and coupling with bedforms in steep turbulent streams.
Sediment transport is one of the main morphodynamic processes in mountain streams. Understanding bedload transport is fundamental to prevent and mitigate hydrogeological hazards and for the resources management. The classic bedload discharge predictions ar ...
2018Bar dynamics and sediment transport pulses in gravel-bed channels.
Christophe Ancey, Blaise Etienne Marceau Dhont
Mountain rivers exhibit sediment transport rate fluctuations that often cover more than two orders of magnitude. Bedform migration is often cited as the key process that causes giant fluctuations in the sediment transport rate. To quantify the effect of be ...
EDP Sciences2018Sediment balance of a cascade of alpine reservoirs based on multi-decadal data records
Anton Schleiss, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Sebastián Guillén Ludeña
Reservoir sedimentation is a major concern in the operational management of dams and appurtenant structures. The increasing volume of sediments deposited in reservoirs leads to a loss of water storage, undermining the purpose itself of the dam for human us ...
