Laterally unconfined neutral or negative buoyancy inflow into a quiescent ambient over sloping bottom

This work studies the nearshore hydrodynamics of a shallow turbulent flow entering a laterally unconfined quiescent ambient with a sloping bottom boundary. Examples of such flow are neutrally buoyant ebb tidal jets and hyperpycnal river plumes entering ope ...

Detailed hydrodynamics of cold density currents generated by differential cooling along the sloping bed of Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, François Mettra, Rafael Sebastian Reiss

Deep water ventilation and mixing are of great importance for large lake ecosystems. Relevant processes include cold density currents due to differential cooling, inter-basin exchange and upwelling. At present, a good understanding of these processes in la ...

The variability of antidune morphodynamics on steep slopes

Christophe Ancey, Ivan Pascal

Steep streams on rough beds are generally characterised by supercritical flow conditions under which antidunes can develop and migrate over time. In this paper, we present flume experiments that we conducted to investigate the variability of antidune geome ...

High-resolution underwater laser spectrometer sensing provides new insights into methane distribution at an Arctic seepage site

Jérôme Chappellaz

Methane (CH4) in marine sediments has the potential to contribute to changes in the ocean and climate system. Physical and biochemical processes that are difficult to quantify with current standard methods such as acoustic surveys and discrete sampling gov ...

Differential cooling and near-shore dynamics in a large lake (Lake Geneva)

Ulrich Lemmin, Rafael Sebastian Reiss

Density currents generated by differential cooling in lakes with shallow shore regions or side basins are associated with increased vertical mixing, deep water renewal and cross-shore transport of nutrients and other substances. Previous field experiments ...

Experimental study on bedload transport, fluctuations and coupling with bedforms in steep turbulent streams.

Ivan Pascal

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 ...

Surviving anoxia in marine sediments: The metabolic response of ubiquitous benthic foraminifera (Ammonia tepida)

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

High input of organic carbon and/or slowly renewing bottom waters frequently create periods with low dissolved oxygen concentrations on continental shelves and in coastal areas; such events can have strong impacts on benthic ecosystems. Among the meiofauna ...

Porosity evolution at the brittle-ductile transition in the continental crust: Implications for deep hydro-geothermal circulation

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Mateo Alejandro Acosta, Michael Heap

Recently, projects have been proposed to engineer deep geothermal reservoirs in the ductile crust. To examine their feasibility, we performed high-temperature (up to 1000 degrees C), high-pressure (130 MPa) triaxial experiments on granite (initially-intact ...

A benthic foraminifera species respond to anoxia with a strong metabolic shift suggesting a state of dormancy

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Low-oxygenation events are more and more frequent and strong on continental shelves and in coastal areas where renewal of bottom waters is slow. Among the meiofauna living in such environments, foraminifera are among the most tolerant to the lack of oxygen ...

Dormant or not dormant? Benthic foraminiferal metabolism under anoxia

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

Hypoxic events particularly affect benthic ecosystems on continental shelves and in coastal areas where renewal of bottom waters slow. Foraminifera living in such environments are among the most tolerant to hypoxia in the meiofauna. Some foraminifera speci ...
