Thermal evidence of water exchange through a coastal aquifer: Implications for nutrient fluxes

Energy efficiency in a building complex through seasonal storage of thermal energy in a confined aquifer

Confined aquifers are formations surrounded by impermeable layers called cap rocks and bed rocks. These aquifers are suitable for the seasonal storage of thermal energy. A confined aquifer was designed to meet the cooling and heating energy needs of a residential building complex located in Tehran, Iran. The annual cooling and heating energy needs of the buildings were estimated to be 8.7...

Carbon and Water Fluxes in a Drained Coastal Clearcut

The effects of clear-cutting and cultivating for timber on ecosystem carbon and water fluxes were evaluated by comparative measurements of two drained coastal wetland systems in the North Carolina coastal plain. Measurements were conducted from January through September, 2005 in a recent clearcut (CC) of native hardwoods and a loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) plantation (LP) that represent a chronos...

Deep water nutrient and oxygen gradients in a modern coastal upwelling zone and their paleoceanographic implications

Dissolved phosphate and oxygen data from the waters at >300 rn depth beneath the Peru upwelling system imitate observed onshore/offshore surface productivity data. Positive onshore phosphate gradients and negative onshore oxygen gradients are greater in deeper water (up to 1000 m), reflecting the decreasing degree of horizontal mixing at depth. Mass balance reconstructions of surface productivi...

Evidence of Double Dissociation in Auditory Agnosia: Implications for Rehabilition

Residual fluxes of water and nutrient transport through the main inlet of a tropical estuary, Cochin estuary, West Coast, India.

Determining robust values for estuarine material fluxes has been a complex task and an interdisciplinary research challenge. With the advent of acoustic Doppler profilers (ADPs) having bottom-track capability and which provides three-dimensional current velocity profiles, more accurate estimation of cross-sectional fluxes is far accomplished in unsteady and bidirectional flow conditions of estu...
