Characterising the invertebrate megafaunal assemblages of a deep-sea (200–3000 m) frontier region for oil and gas exploration: the Great Australian Bight, Australia
(Elsevier, 2018-08-08)The first systematic benthic survey in the deep sea (200–3000 m) of Australia’s Great Australian Bight (GAB) was undertaken in 2015 to characterise the invertebrate megafauna, and to inform the selection of indicators and ... -
A whole of systems approach to improved understanding of the environmental, economic and social values of a frontier marine oil and gas field: Establishment, success factors and lessons learnt
(Elsevier, 2018-09-24)The Great Australian Bight is one of Australia's most valuable marine ecosystems supporting globally significant populations of marine mammals, seabirds, and diverse and highly endemic benthic assemblages, as well as ... -
Wetlands in flux: looking for the drivers in a central European case

Impacts of groundwater depth on regional scale soil gleyization under changing climate in the Poyang Lake Basin, China
(Elsevier, 2018-11-15)Various natural and anthropogenic factors affect the formation of gleyed soil. It is a major challenge to identify the key hazard factors and evaluate the dynamic evolutionary process of soil gleyization at a regional scale ... -
Model-data interaction in groundwater studies: Review of methods, applications and future directions
(Elsevier, 2018-09-28)We define model-data interaction (MDI) as a two way process between models and data, in which on one hand data can serve the modeling purpose by supporting model discrimination, parameter refinement, uncertainty analysis, ... -
Use of U-isotopes in exploring groundwater flow and inter-aquifer leakage in the south-western margin of the Great Artesian Basin and Arckaringa Basin, central Australia
(Elsevier, 2018-10-03)The distribution of uranium isotopes (238U and 234U) in groundwaters of the south-western margin of the Great Artesian Basin (GAB), Australia, and underlying Arckaringa Basin were examined using groundwater samples and a ... -
Age and quality stratification of groundwater in the Triassic Sherwood Sandstone aquifer of South Yorkshire and the East Midlands, UK
(Elsevier, 2018-08-09)Groundwater from the Triassic Sherwood Sandstone aquifer of the English East Midlands shows a well-documented evolution in chemistry and residence time as it flows downgradient from shallow unconfined conditions to greater ... -
Solid Waste Management Solutions for a Rapidly Urbanizing Area in Thailand: Recommendations Based on Stakeholder Input
(MDPI, 2018-06-21)Municipal solid waste is a significant problem, particularly in developing countries that lack sufficient infrastructure and useable land mass to process it in an appropriate manner. Some developing nations are experiencing ... -
Lead, Zinc, Copper, and Cadmium Content of Water from South Australian Rainwater Tanks
(MDPI, 2018-07-23)Rainwater is consumed for drinking water in many parts of Australia, either preferentially over municipal water or in regional or remote areas, because rainwater is the primary source of water. Previous rainwater studies ... -
Stochastic correction of carbon-14 activities: A Bayesian approach with argon-39 validation
(Elsevier, 2018-08-27)Carbon-14 (14C) has been measured in groundwater for over half a century and remains a widely used tool for understanding groundwater flow systems. Ultimately, the usefulness of 14C as a groundwater tracer relies on the ... -
Peri-urban agricultural land vulnerability due to urban sprawl – a multi-criteria spatially-explicit scenario analysis
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2018-10-09)The loss of agricultural land at urban fringes is often monitored but rarely analysed under different scenarios of urban sprawl. This study adopts a multi-criteria spatially-explicit approach to investigate agricultural ... -

Comparison of MODIS and SWAT evapotranspiration over a complex terrain at different spatial scales
(Copernicus Publications on behalf of the European Geosciences Union., 2018)In most hydrological systems, evapotranspiration (ET) and precipitation are the largest components of the water balance, which are difficult to estimate, particularly over complex terrain. In recent decades, the advent ... -
Fluoride and phosphate release from carbonate-rich fluorapatite during managed aquifer recharge
(Elsevier, 2018-07)Managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is increasingly used as a water management tool to enhance water availability and to improve water quality. Until now, however, the risk of fluoride release during MAR with low ionic strength ... -
Climatic and environmental controls on stable isotopes in atmospheric water vapor near the surface observed in Changsha, China
(Elsevier, 2018)Continuous measurements were made of isotopic compositions in atmospheric water vapor (δv) and in atmospheric precipitation (δp) near the surface in the subtropical monsoon region (Changsha, China) from October 2014 to ... -
Uncertainty of groundwater recharge estimated from a water and energy balance model
(Elsevier, 2017-08-16)Coupled water and energy balance models have become increasingly popular for estimating groundwater recharge, because of the integration of energy and water balances and sometimes carbon balance. The additional balances ... -
Foredune morphodynamics and sediment budgets at seasonal to decadal scales: Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge, California, USA.
(Elsevier, 2018-06-04)Coastal foredunes are shore-parallel ridges that form in the backshore and their morphodynamics are controlled partly by seasonal and spatial variations in the coastal (onshore) sediment budget that, in turn, are driven ... -
Revisiting analytical solutions for steady interface flow in subsea aquifers: Aquitard salinity effects
(Elsevier, 2018-01-31)Existing analytical solutions for the distribution of fresh groundwater in subsea aquifers presume that the overlying offshore aquitard, represented implicitly, contains seawater. Here, we consider the case where offshore ... -
On the resilience of small-island freshwater lenses: Evidence of the long-term impacts of groundwater abstraction on Bonriki Island, Kiribati
(Elsevier, 2018-06-15)Groundwater on islands occurs in the form of freshwater lenses that serve as an important water resource for local inhabitants. These lenses are highly vulnerable to salinization due to natural recharge variations and ... -
Solubility Characteristics and Slow-Release Mechanism of Nitrogen from Organic-Inorganic Compound Coated Urea
(Hindawi, 2015-01-22)A soil incubation method was used to investigate the solubility characteristics and slow-release mechanism of organic-inorganic compound coated urea at temperature of 10, 20, and 30°C. The membrane microstructure with and ...
