(2014-01-22)Arctic rivers are the dominant pathways for the transport of terrestrial dissolved organic carbon to the Arctic Ocean, but knowledge of sources, transformations and transfer of organic carbon and nitrogen in Arctic river ...
-
(2013-02-04)Currently biofuel is produced from plants as well as microbes. The oils, carbohydrates or fats generated by the microorganisms or plants are refined to produce biofuel. Algae can be converted directly into energy and ...
-
(2014-09-22)The estimated magnitude of organic carbon (OC) stocks contained in the first meter of US coastal wetland soils represents ~10% of the entire OC stock in US soils (4 vs. 52 Pg, respectively). Because this stock extends to ...
-
(1982)Of the known sources of ocean energy, salinity gradients have the most potential. These gradients are found naturally in estuarine environments, but can be artificially produced, given a salt source, such as a hypersaline ...
-
(2011-08-08)Increased environmental regulatory policy has been put in place by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in response to waterborne oil pollution events. We examine the IMO regulatory response to these incidences. ...

(2010-07-14)Satellite tracking data of juvenile and subadult green turtles captured and released by Texas A&M University at Galveston?s Sea Turtle and Fisheries Ecology Research Lab (STFERL) from the lower Laguna Madre indicate green ...
-
(2012-04-16)In the past decade there has been an overall decrease in Arctic Ocean sea ice cover. Changes to the ice cover have important consequences for organic carbon cycling, especially over the continental shelves. When sea ice ...

(2013-09-19)Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and alpha spectroscopy were used to measure Plutonium (Pu) concentrations in soil samples from the Savannah River Site (SRS) and Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, the latter ...
-
(2011-04-25)The purpose of this study is to evaluate the residence time of water-soluble levoglucosan and free lignin-derived phenols, from two different plant charcoals. Dissolved organic matter (DOM) was extracted from honey mesquite ...
-
(2014-01-22)Sargassum, a pelagic brown alga, is a vital part of marine and coastal ecosystems. It serves as shelter for fish, turtles, and other hatchlings and juveniles. Sargassum acts as a source of food, as it reaches closer to the ...
