Transport of contaminants in coastal aquifers subject to tidal fluctuation is an important topic in hydrogeology as a consequence of the significant development of human activities near the shoreline. Despite this, relatively little work has been done to i ...
Important land surface characteristics affect the way in which water is transferred to the atmosphere, processed in the atmosphere, and eventually returned to the surface. In turn, the amount of water in the atmosphere and returning to Earth affects many o ...
An investigation was conducted to detect the change-point years in the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and precipitation time series in Iran for the period 1951-1999 (49 years). Due to the unavailability of data, the record length of the precipitation tim ...
Soil evaporation plays an important role in the hydrologic cycle and affects near surface energy balance. Changes in evaporative drying rates reflect complex interplay between soil pore space and transport properties and atmospheric conditions. Typically, ...
In this paper, the second of a series, we apply the models discussed in Part 1 to a significant case study. The nature of the catchment under study, the transport phenomena investigated (i.e. nitrates moving as solutes within runoff waters) and the scales ...
We realized an experimental setup to study the dynamics of cavitation bubbles inside spherical water drops produced in microgravity (8th Student Parabolic Flight Campaign, European Space Agency ESA). Water volumes of up to 8 ml (25 mm diameter) were expell ...
A stochastic framework for modelling catchment-scale hydrologic and nitrate responses (as a byproduct of transport processes and of a biogeochemical model of nitrogen cycling and transformations in heterogeneous soils) is proposed and applied to a 53 km2 b ...
This research proposes a general methodology allowing the delimitation of protection areas for abstracted groundwater against persistent chemical contaminants for the setting up of: (1) remediation programmes in the event of contamination and (2) preventio ...
The objective of this research is to improve the comprehension of the hydrological behaviour of natural catchments. The main originality of this work is to associate different types of measurement in order to obtain a better vision of hydrological processe ...
A steady-state bubble-plume model is evaluated using full-scale temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen data collected in a Swiss Lake. The data revealed a plume-generated near-field environment that differed significantly from the ambient far-field wat ...
