The Dependence of Water Permeability in Quartz Sand on Gas Hydrate Saturation in the Pore Space: Permeability of gas hydrate-bearing sand
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"
DOI: 10.1002/2017jb014630
Abstract: Transport of fluids in gas hydrate bearing sediments is largely defined by the reduction of the permeability due to gas hydrate crystals in the pore space. Although the exact knowledge of the permeability behavior as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2017jf004197
Abstract: The instability mechanisms for self-organized kilometer-scale shoreline sand waves have been extensively explored by modeling. However, while the assumed bathymetric perturbation associated with the sand wave controls the feedback between morphology and waves, its effect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2545
Abstract: Many taxa possess a range of strategies to reduce the risk of predation, including actively seeking suitable refuge habitats; however, the global spread of invasive species may disrupt these behavioral responses. In lotic ecosystems, interstitial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/esp.4489
Abstract: Morphological change in river channels is frequently evaluated in the context of mass balance sediment budgets. In a closed sediment budget, measurements of sediment influx and efflux are coupled with measured changes in channel topography… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jeq2.20422
Abstract: On-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) can be designed to promote microbial communities with naturally occurring metabolic functions desirable to wastewater treatment. Among such OWTS are nitrogen-removing biofilters (NRB), comprising a sand layer overlying a sand-lignocellulose… read more here.
