Forces that shape the Earth's surface are recorded in a number of natural records, from tree rings to cave formations. In a recent study, researchers from The University of Texas at Austin show that ...

In this study, we present a numerical model for predicting sediment transport and the associated erosion and deposition processes in a natural reef area. The prediction system consists of several ...

Special Issue 65: Proceedings of the 12th INTERNATIONAL COASTAL SYMPOSIUM ICS 2013, Volume 1 (2013), pp. 624-629 (6 pages) Published By: Coastal Education & Research Foundation, Inc. The radial sand ...

The Ganges-Brahmaputra-Meghna (GBM) rivers carry a massive sediment load that feeds the world’s largest depositional system: the GBM megadelta. The mass of sediment transported annually by the GBM ...

A recent article in Nature Communications described a polymetallic nodule collector trial at 4500 m depth. A gravity current ...

An experiment revealed that clouds of sediment disturbed by exploratory mining equipment on the seafloor tend to flow in dense sediment-laden currents that largely remain confined to an area only a ...

New research from SFU’s Jeremy Venditti dives into the science of going with the flow predicting the evolution of the Earth’s surface. Researchers at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and The ...

Microbe communities living in the seafloor off Peru haven’t bounced back from a deep-sea mining experiment 26 years ago. The populations are still reduced by 30 percent in this part of the South ...

Over 200 underwater bridge tunnels exist for vehicular traffic around the world, providing connectivity between cities. Once ...
