Forward osmosis (FO) is a promising alternative to reverse osmosis (RO) in membrane-based water desalination. In the current study, carboxylated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were incorporated ...

Rivers and streams ‘breathe’ nearly two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year, the second-largest carbon flux from an ecosystem after soil respiration 1, 2. Riverine ...

The Cascadia Subduction Zone, stretching from northern California to British Columbia, is one of the most dangerous seismic hotspots in North America, capable of producing a massive 9.0 magnitude ...

That increase would then add more carbon to the atmosphere and fuel more warming. This cycle, known as a positive climate feedback, has been a key concern for climate scientists. But according to a ...

Evidence in support of a diurnal organic carbon engine driving elevated δ 13 C in shallow carbonates. (A) Three modern carbonate shelves produce bulk sediment with δ 13 C that is too high to have ...

Researchers developed a fourth-generation buoy in Seattle that can detect an earthquake-triggered tsunami 10-15 minutes earlier than the previous generation.

The desalination of inland brackish groundwater offers the opportunity to provide potable drinking water to residents and industrial cooling water to industries located in arid regions. Geothermal ...

Saltmarshes are “significant” carbon stores, but are at risk from rising sea levels, new research reveals. A report from conservation charity WWF in partnership with insurance giant Aviva ...

Subduction zones are major driving forces behind this tectonic conveyor belt, as they pull oceanic crust and upper mantle down to depth, recycling the rocks and dragging continents around in the ...
