Spatial distribution and biological effects of trace metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd) and organic micropollutants (PCBs, PAHs) in mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis along the Algerian west coast

Dominique Grandjean, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro

Native mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis are used as bioindicator organisms to assess the concentration levels and toxic effects of persistent chemicals, polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and heavy metals using biomarker ...

Physical and economic consequences of sea-level rise: A coupled GIS and CGE analysis under uncertainties

Marc Vielle, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Santosh Ram Joshi

This paper develops a modelling framework that links GEMINI-E3, a multi-regional, multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium model with a cost-benefit analysis approach at local level using geographical information system tools to assess the physical an ...

Workshop on Mapping with drones for natural and built environments

Pierre-Yves Gilliéron, Simone Sayuri Sato

The workshop on mapping with drones for natural and built environments has been organised in the framework of the Brazilian-Swiss Joint Research Programme (BSJRP), which supports research activity and academic cooperation. The Ecole polytechnique fédérale ...

Submarine fresh groundwater discharge into Laizhou Bay comparable to the Yellow River flux

David Andrew Barry, Xu Wang, Xin Luo

Near- and off-shore fresh groundwater resources become increasingly important with the social and economic development in coastal areas. Although large scale (hundreds of km) submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) to the ocean has been shown to be of the sa ...

Unstable Pore-Water Flow in Intertidal Wetlands

David Andrew Barry

Salt marshes are important intertidal wetlands strongly influenced by interactions between surface water and groundwater. Bordered by coastal water, the marsh system undergoes cycles of inundation and exposure driven by the tide. This leads to dynamic, com ...

Morphological analysis of the upper reaches of the Kukuy Canyon derived from shallow bathymetry

Yosef Akhtman, Nicolas Le Dantec

We present preliminary results on the morphology of the upper reaches of the Kukuy Canyon and Selenga shelf in front of Proval Bay (Lake Baikal), derived from newly acquired, high-resolution bathymetry. Numerous and varied erosional and transport features ...

Influence of a coarse interlayer on seawater intrusion and contaminant migration in coastal aquifers

David Andrew Barry

Vertical 2D slice laboratory experiments were carried out in homogenous and layered sand tanks to elucidate the effects of a highly permeable (coarse-grained sand) interlayer on seawater intrusion and transport of contaminants to a coastal sea. Tidal fluct ...

Hydroclimatology of dual-peak annual cholera incidence: Insights from a spatially explicit model

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Lorenzo Righetto, Marino Gatto

Cholera incidence in some regions of the Indian subcontinent may exhibit two annual peaks although the main environmental drivers that have been linked to the disease (e.g., sea surface temperature, zooplankton abundance, river discharge) peak once per yea ...

Floating oil-covered debris from the Deepwater Horizon : Identification and application

Jeremy Samuel Arey

The discovery of oiled and non-oiled honeycomb material in the Gulf of Mexico surface waters and along coastal beaches shortly after the explosion of Deepwater Horizon sparked debate about its origin and the oil covering it. We show that the unknown pieces ...

Cross-shore transport pathways between coastal aquifers and coastal seas: Archetype of a nearshore variable-density contaminant plume

David Andrew Barry, Alessandro Brovelli, Roham Bakhtyar, Clare Robinson

On permeable beaches, tides and waves lead to an upper saline plume underneath the beach face in addition to the saltwater wedge. The transport and fate of land-derived chemicals depend on process dynamics at the land-sea interface, which can be examined u ...
