Scripps Institution of Oceanography is a world leader in the development of marine electromagnetic methods, starting with the pioneering work of Charles Cox and Jean Filloux in the 1970’s (e.g. Cox, Filloux, and Larsen, 1971), continuing from the early 1980’s with the work of Steven Constable, and now with the recruitment of Kerry Key onto the permanent scientific staff. Initially marine EM met...

The principal long-term objective of this work is to determine what factors control the distribution and dynamics of the chromophore-containing constituents of dissolved organic matter (CDOM) in marine and estuarine waters. Two important secondary objectives are 1) to elucidate the photochemical properties of the CDOM and how photochemical reactions affect the optical properties and secondary r...

The field of whiteness studies is relatively young compared to other well-established disciplines, including critical race theory. On its trajectory to carve out a new academic niche, whiteness studies is challenged with, and must therefore negotiate, a wide range of criticisms intended to dismantle the enterprise. This synthesis paper inspects the literature on whiteness as an analytical conce...

Introduction Biochar is a solid material obtained from the thermochemical conversion of biomass in an oxygen-limited environment. Biochar can be used as a product itself or as an ingredient within a blended product, with a range of applications as an agent for soil improvement, improved resource use efficiency, remediation and/or protection against particular environmental pollution, and as an ...

The Düsseldorf waterworks have been using riverbank filtration since 1870 with bank filtration as the most important source for public water supply in this densely populated and industrialised region. There have been many threats to this supply in the last few decades—e.g. poor river water quality, heavy clogging of the riverbed, accidental pollution—which had to be overcome. First field studie...
