Amount of Thermal Water into Stream from Hot Springs, Onikobe, Miyagi Prefecture.

Quantifying the heat flux and outflow rate of hot springs using airborne thermal imagery: Case study from Pilgrim Hot Springs, Alaska

Vickers Hot Springs

Vickers Hot Springs is located near the rural Southern California town of Ojai, and local residents have long enjoyed soaking in the sulfuric pools. But as knowledge of the springs spread, the area saw increases in fights, traffic, burglaries, and drug use. In response, two residents purchased the land and committed to restore the property while allowing limited public access, subsequently gene...

Hydrophobicity--getting into hot water.

In his famous 1959 review, Walter Kauzmann clarified important features of the thermodynamic stabilities of proteins. The hydrophobic effect is recognised as an important contributor to the stability of proteins and an important determinant of their structural patterns. As generally understood, it depends on the unusual properties of cold water and its interactions with nonpolar solutes. Here w...

Thermal angiooedema induced by hot water.

Phage Communities in Hot Springs

Boiling thermal pools are unique ecosystems to study microbial ecology, biogeochemistry and evolution, because they are physically isolated from other ecosystems, they are relatively biologically simple, and they are among the most hostile environments known. The water column of boiling hot springs represents an extreme environment that has not been previously explored for viruses or microbes. ...
