Similar submarine canyon systems exist on scales ranging from less than a kilometer to nearly 1000 km. The shallowest end is a submarine canyon and canyon head(s). Further down the canyon is buried by the upper part of a submarine fan with meandering and cross-cutting channels. The fan eventually merges with a nearly flat-lying depositional basin. We have used the deposits associated with these...

The objective of hybrid modeling is to obtain a balance of geological reality, the representation of spatial uncertainty with a fixed set of initial parameters and the capability of being conditioned to the hard data as well. Reasonable algorithms have been constructed in previous works (Pyrcz et al. 2003, 2005, Michael et al. 2008 and Leiva et al. 2009). However, realism of erosion and deposit...

background & aims of the study: drinking polluted water can transmit diseases, so potable water treatment is one of the most challenging and complex systems in countries. continuous monitoring for evaluation process in water treatment plant is important. this study aims to investigate performance evaluation of qom water treatment plant to remove turbidity and coliform in 2005 - 2014. materials ...

High-resolution imagery of the morphological character modern active turbidite systems are critical for understanding complexity turbidity current processes occurring on seafloor. Here, we describe a 30 cm-resolution autonomous underwater vehicle repeat bathymetric dataset that allows to significantly increase geomorphological detail crescentic bedforms in systems. This shows erosion produced b...

Synoptic monitoring of estuaries, some of the most bio-diverse and productive environments on Earth, is essential to study small-scale water dynamics and its role on spatiotemporal variation in water quality important to indigenous marine species and surrounding human settlements. We present a detailed study of turbidity, an optical index of water quality, in Apalachicola Bay, Florida (USA) usi...

Surrogate measures like turbidity, which can be observed with high frequency in situ, have potential for generating high frequency estimates of total suspended solids (TSS) and total phosphorus (TP) concentrations. In the semiarid, snowmelt-driven, and irrigation-regulated Little Bear River watershed of northern Utah, high frequency in situ water quality measurements were recorded in conjunctio...

We studied the effects of inorganic turbidity on the efficiency of perch (Perca fluviatilis) feeding on the cladoceran Sida crystallina attached to floating macrophyte leaves together with the effects of the floating leaves on the light environment. We expected feeding efficiency to decrease constantly along an increasing turbidity gradient without an enhancement in moderate turbidity values, a...

Recharge and contamination of karst aquifers often occur via the unsaturated zone, but the functioning of this zone has not yet been fully understood. Therefore, irrigation and tracer experiments, along with monitoring of rainfall events, were used to examine water percolation and the transport of solutes, particles, and fecal bacteria between the land surface and a water outlet into a shallow ...
