Groundwater flow and salt transport in a subterranean estuary driven by intensified wave conditions

A numerical study, based on a density-dependent variably saturated groundwater flow model, was conducted to investigate flow and salt transport in a near-shore aquifer under intensified wave conditions caused by offshore storms. Temporally varying onshore ...

Analysis of lock-exchange gravity currents over smooth and rough beds

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Claudia Adduce

Gravity currents produced by full-depth lock-release of saline water into a fresh water tank are studied focusing on the influence of the initial density of the saline mixture in the lock and the bed roughness on gravity current kinematics. Temporal evolut ...

Optimizing turbine withdrawal from a tropical reservoir for improved water quality in downstream wetlands

Alfred Johny Wüest, Bernhard Wehrli

Large reservoirs in the tropics act as efficient nutrient traps and often develop hypoxic conditions in the hypolimnion. Both effects may have severe implications for aquatic ecosystems, such as limited primary production in downstream riparian agriculture ...

Reactive oxygen species production and signalling as a component of salinity tolerance mechanism in cereals

Amandine Massart

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are highly reactive and toxic by-products of the aerobic metabolism, which are overproduced during period of stress. They disturb the cell machinery and induce oxidative damages on important biological macromolecules. Salinity ...

Thermodynamics of Writhe in DNA Minicircles from Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Jonathan Mitchell

DNA supercoiling plays a role in genetic control by imposing torsional stress. This can induce writhe, which changes the global shape of the DNA. We have used atomistic molecular dynamics simulations to partition the free energy changes driving the writhin ...

Dynamics of the head of gravity currents

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Helena Isabel Dos Santos Nogueira, Claudia Adduce

The present work experimentally investigates the dynamics of unsteady gravity currents produced by lock-release of a saline mixture into a fresh water tank. Seven different experimental runs were performed by varying the density of the salinemixture in the ...

Diffusive-type of double diffusion in lakes - a review

Alfred Johny Wüest, Martin Schmid

This chapter is a contribution in honour of Gerhard H Jirka, who has been fascinated by the amazing variety of small-scale structures that nature surprises us with, particularly in stratified natural waters. Here, we focus on the diffusive regime of double ...

Effect of primary organic sea spray emissions on cloud condensation nuclei concentrations

Athanasios Nenes

This work estimates the primary marine organic aerosol global emission source and its impact on cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) concentrations by implementing an organic sea spray source function into a series of global aerosol simulations. The source func ...

Constitutive models for the joint estimation of electrical conductivity and permittivity of variably-saturated soils

Alessandro Brovelli

In the context of sustainable development, there is a growing interest in mapping soil characteristics and land use, in particular to evaluate threats to soil quality. Fast non-invasive geophysical surveys have been used to estimate the areal distribution ...

Stochastic modeling of salt accumulation in the root zone due to capillary flux from brackish groundwater

Andrea Rinaldo, Samir Suweis

[1] Groundwater can be a source of both water and salts in semiarid areas, and therefore, capillary pressure-induced upward water flow may cause root zone salinization. To identify which conditions result in hazardous salt concentrations in the root zone, ...
