My long-term goals are to advance understanding of sediment transport processes. In this context, the long-term goal of this project is to advance understanding of the reference concentration, i.e. concentration of suspended sediments at a small distance above the seafloor. The scientific interest is in relating this reference concentration to the forcing conditions of waves and currents. The n...

Bacteria make up about half of the living organisms inside of the rumen. However, they do more than half of the work in the rumen. The bacteria work together. Some breakdown certain carbohydrates and proteins which are then used by others. Some require certain growth factors, such as B-vitamins, which are made by others. Some bacteria help to clean up the rumen of others’ end products, such as ...
