Salinization of Freshwater Aquifers Due to Subsurface Fluid Injection Quantified by Species Transport Simulations
Abstract Potable groundwater resources could be affected by salinization as result of subsurface utilization like CO2 injection. We examine the potential of freshwater impairment for shallow aquifers and a drinking water well due to upward...

Atmospheric deposition of soluble trace elements along the Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT)
Abstract We briefly review the role of atmospheric deposition measurements within the Atlantic Meridional Transect (AMT) programme and then go on to present new data on the soluble concentrations of a range of trace metals (Fe, Al, Mn, Ti, Zn, V, Ni ...

Study of Development of Urban Environments, Mainly in the Vicinity of Underground Stations
Abstract It is generally understood that urban transportation networks in overcrowded urban areas need to be developed with the assumption of pedestrian movement within roughly 300 m. In such projects, coordinating underground transportation...

Cyclic Stress-Controlled Test on Offshore Clay
Abstract One of the main concerns in cyclic behavior of soft clay is gradual degradation with the progression of loading cycle. A series of cyclic constant-volume direct simple shear (CDSS) loading tests was performed on Malaysia offshore clay to...

Mid-latitude continental temperatures through the early Eocene in western Europe
Abstract Branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (brGDGTs) are increasingly used to reconstruct mean annual air temperature (MAAT) during the early Paleogene. However, the application of this proxy in coal deposits is limited and brGDGTs have ...
