Sediment traps with guiding channel and hybrid check dams improve controlled sediment retention

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Sebastian Schwindt, Stefano Tugulu, Alessandro Reffo

Sediment traps with partially open check dams are crucial elements for flood protection in alpine regions. The trapping of sediment is necessary when intense sediment transport occurs during floods that may endanger urban areas at downstream river reaches. ...

Firn Meltwater Retention on the Greenland Ice Sheet: A Model Comparison

Michael Lehning, Nander Wever

Runoff has recently become the main source of mass loss from the Greenland Ice Sheet and is an important contributor to global sea level rise. Linking runoff to surface meltwater production is complex, as meltwater can be retained within the firn by refree ...

Treatment of micropollutants in municipal wastewater: Ozone or powdered activated carbon?

David Andrew Barry, Luca Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Jonas Margot, Anoys Magnet

Many organic micropollutants present in wastewater, such as pharmaceuticals and pesticides, are poorly removed in conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). To reduce the release of these substances into the aquatic environment, advanced wastewater ...
