Abstract A present ecological issue causing secondary salinization in different countries is the discharge of effluents by the potash mining industry. In Germany, the River Werra is used as a sink for potash mining discharges containing high concentrations of ions, pred...

Abstract Sulfate radical (SO4 −) and hydroxyl radical ( OH) generated from persulfate or peroxymonosulfate in AOPs have been widely used in contaminant degradation. Anthracene (ANT) can be decomposed by SO4 − and OH. The processes of ANT decomposition were investigated ...

Low frequency, high impact storm events can have large impacts on sandy coasts. The physical processes governing these impacts are complex because of the feedback between the hydrodynamics of surges and waves, sediment transport and morphological change. Predicting thes...

Publishing in top-ranking journals in the social sciences and international relations requires writing with clarity. Accurately described and transparent methods sections ensure high-quality academic writing. The methodology section of empirical papers should explain th...

Storm surges are a significant hazard to coastal communities around the world, putting lives at risk and costing billions of dollars in damage. Understanding how storm surges and high tides interact is crucial for estimating extreme water levels so that we can protect c...

Maritime piracy constitutes a major threat to global shipping and international trade. We argue that fishers turn to piracy to smooth expected income losses and to deter illegal foreign fishing fleets. Previous investigations have generally focused on cross-national det...

This study investigates the effects of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on two potentially toxic Pseudo-nitzschia hasleana and P. mannii, isolated from a PAH contaminated marine environment. Both species, maintained in non-axenic cultures, have been exposed durin...

The depletion of traditional oil fields is driving the oil & gas industry to explore new exploitation sites previously considered as unprofitable. Deep-sea oil fields represent one of these new areas of exploitation. Well drilling during exploration and production opera...
