Abstract:
Computer modeling techniques are used for predicting soil losses from overland flow and subsequent suspended sediment yield from large watersheds. The model LAVSED-I (LAVal SEDidentological model No. 1) is based on the universal soil-loss equation of Wischmeier and Smith and the equation of Kiline and Richardson. The model subdivides the watershed into square units varying in size from 0.3 to 3000 km2 and the computational procedure is subdivided in four components: precipitation, physical characteristics of watersheds, erosion/sedimentation, and land use.

Abstract:
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) contamination in the Toce River in northern Italy was studied by collecting data from 2016 to 2021 upstream and downstream of a production factory which in the past had discharged technical DDT. Analysis of sediments and of bioaccumulation in different benthic invertebrate taxa (Gammaridae, Diptera, Ephemeroptera Baetidae and Heptageniidae) was carried out to assess the transfer of DDT from sediments to benthic invertebrates and the environmental risk of this legacy pollutant for the river ecosystem.

Abstract. The Three Gorges Reservoir encompasses a riparian zone with a vertical height of 30 m and a total area of 349 km2 that has been subjected to alternate inundation and exposure due to regular impoundment. Sedimentation on the riparian landforms constitutes an important pathway for riverine contaminant redistribution. In an attempt to understand heavy metal enrichment since water inundation, riparian sediments and soils were sampled along five transects in a typical riparian zone composed of cultivated bench terraces in the middle reaches.

The removal of heavy metals from contaminated river sediments was studied using suspension leaching under laboratory conditions and percolation leaching in a pilot plant. The leaching potential of indigenous sulfur-oxidizing bacteria was compared with acid treatment. Bioleaching with elemental sulfur as substrate was found to be better than treatment with sulfuric acid for the solubilization of all metals tested. The physical and chemical properties of the sediments used in this study did not affect leaching capacity under optimum conditions in the laboratory. Under the practical conditions in

The Hanjiang River is the second-largest river in Guangdong Province, China. The modern sedimentation pattern of the Hanjiang subaqueous delta has been significantly affected by changes in the sediment delivered by the Hanjiang River.

Fine sediment represents an important diffuse source pollutant in surface waters, due to its role in governing the transfer and fate of many substances, including nutrients, heavy metals, pesticides and other organic contaminants, and its influence on aquatic ecology. Therefore, catchment management strategies frequently need to include provision for the control of sediment mobilization and delivery. The sediment tracing concept provides a valuable framework for assisting the management and control of diffuse source sediment pollution by identifying the key sources and demonstrating the import

Assessing carbon stocks, carbon sources, and the transfer of carbon between habitats within coastal seascapes are each integral in identifying the role of blue carbon habitats in coastal carbon cycling. Here, we quantified carbon stocks, sources, and exchanges in seagrass meadows, salt marshes, and unvegetated sediments in six bays along the California coast.

To reduce the transfer of nonindigenous species, regulations require transoceanic ships to exchange ballast with ocean water before discharging into the Great Lakes.

We conducted an in situ test of the effectiveness of BWE for treating diapausing eggs in ballast sediments.

Abstract. In this study, we interpret the role played by ocean circulation in sediment distribution on the southwestern Atlantic margin using radiogenic Nd and Pb isotopes. The latitudinal trends for Pb and Nd isotopes reflect the different current systems acting on the margin. The utilization of the sediment fingerprinting method allowed us to associate the isotopic signatures with the main oceanographic features in the area. We recognized differences between Nd and Pb sources to the Argentinean shelf (carried by the flow of Subantarctic Shelf Water) and slopes (transported by deeper flows).

Experimental and field observations evidence the effects of capillarity in narrow pores on inhibiting the thermodynamic stability of gas hydrates and controlling their saturation. Thus, precise estimates of the gas hydrate global inventory require models that accurately describe gas hydrate stability in sediments.

Analogous to water freezing in pores, the model assumes that hydrate formation is controlled by the sediment pore size di
