Marine litter on deep Arctic seafloor continues to increase and spreads to the North at the HAUSGARTEN observatory
Abstract The increased global production of plastics has been mirrored by greater accumulations of plastic litter in marine environments worldwide. Global plastic litter estimates based on field observations account only for 1% of the total volumes...

Measurement of the scCO2 Storage Ratio for the CO2 Reservoir Rocks in Korea
Abstract Based on the lab experiments, the average scCO2 storage ratio of the Janggi conglomerate was calculated at 31.2%, which can be used to evaluate the feasibility of the Janggi basin as a scCO2 storage site in Korea. Assuming that the average...

A catchment-scale method to simulating the impact of historical nitrate loading from agricultural land on the nitrate-concentration trends in the sandstone aquifers in the Eden Valley, UK
Abstract Nitrate water pollution, which is mainly caused by agricultural activities, remains an international problem. It can cause serious long-term environmental and human health issues due to nitrate time-lag in the groundwater system. However,...
