Arsenic In The Rivers Of The Amazon Basin
1 like507 views
The document discusses arsenic levels in the rivers of the Amazon Basin. It notes that the rivers flowing from the Andes mountains bring over 5 tons of arsenic per year to the Atlantic Ocean through transported sediments and dissolved in the water. The combined arsenic content of about 1 mg/m3 is close to the maximum acceptable levels for drinking water in most countries. As the sediments are deposited in the Amazon Fan area, arsenic bound to iron oxides and hydroxides is released into more soluble forms, causing higher arsenic concentrations along coastal areas. Water flow and sediment data is collected throughout the Brazilian Amazon basin to study arsenic distribution.

The document describes the Earth's water budget and water usage. It then discusses a case study of the Aral Sea. The key points are:
- Most of Earth's water is saline and only a small portion is available for human use. Most freshwater is locked up in ice caps and glaciers.
- Humans use water for drinking, industry, irrigation, and recreation and obtain it from precipitation, groundwater, lakes, and reservoirs.
- The case study of the Aral Sea describes how it was once the fourth largest lake in the world but irrigation canals in the 1930s diverted water from its feeding rivers, causing the lake level to drop over several decades until it split in twoWater, water everywhere mindmap

Emergency teams have difficulty delivering medical supplies and food during floods as people are forced from their homes or may drown. Too much or too little water can negatively impact crops through floods or droughts, killing them. The water cycle and how water affects people, processes like erosion and deposition, landforms, and facts about water distribution on Earth are discussed.Int.

This document provides information about the history and environmental impact of the shrinking of the Aral Sea located between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. It discusses how the Soviet Union diverted water from the rivers feeding the sea in the 1960s to irrigate cotton fields, causing the sea to lose over 75% of its water and splitting into two bodies of water. This has led to ecological and health issues as dust and chemicals from the dried seabed are spread by winds. The document also shares photos and descriptions of explorations of the dried former seabed and surrounding areas, and details the cultural and economic changes to communities that relied on the sea.1102422

The document describes flow banding in the Dun Caan Basalt on Raasay, Scotland. It finds that the basalt contains a lower flat domain with sub-horizontal planar banding and an upper contorted domain where the banding is complexly folded. The banding is thought to have formed from intense non-coaxial shear during emplacement of an unusually high-temperature and low-viscosity lava, similarly to a lava-like ignimbrite. Upon cooling and slowing, the upper part underwent slumping which deformed the earlier planar banding into a contorted fabric.Medvigy: The Amazon: A resilient natural system, or the ebb of the green ocean?

The document discusses deforestation in the Amazon and its impacts. It notes that expansion of agriculture has increased deforestation rates and could eliminate 40% of Amazon forests by 2050. Models show that large-scale deforestation reduces evapotranspiration and increases surface air temperatures and changes rainfall patterns. However, the impacts of small-scale, complex mosaics of land cover are less clear. Deforestation has increased river discharge in some watersheds due to reduced evapotranspiration and increased runoff, but has not significantly changed precipitation totals or the timing of the rainy season. The impacts on extreme weather events are still being studied using advanced modeling techniques.Coastal carbon_Andy Steven

This document summarizes information about coastal carbon in Australia. It discusses how Australia's coasts are biodiverse, highly productive, store significant carbon, and are undergoing change. Coastal ecosystems like seagrasses, salt marshes, and mangroves store large amounts of carbon in their soils. However, degradation of these habitats releases their stored carbon. The document outlines how organizations like CSIRO and TERN are studying carbon storage and fluxes in coastal regions. This includes quantifying carbon sequestration potential and modeling changes under different scenarios. Monitoring at a study site in southeast Queensland examines how land use impacts carbon sources and cycling in a peri-urban estuary system.Source and distribution of dissolved radium in the bega riverestuary, southea...

This document describes a study of radium isotopes in the Bega River estuary in Australia. Measurements of radium-224, radium-223, radium-226, and radium-228 were made in surface water and sediment porewater to understand the source and distribution of dissolved radium in the estuary. The results show that bottom sediments are a major source of radium to the estuary surface waters, with radium accumulating in porewater and mixing into surface waters via tidal exchange. A model was applied to estimate the daily flux of porewater crossing the sediment-water interface, about 15% of the total estuary volume.Landslides of murree and kashmir region pakistan

The Amazon River formed over hundreds of millions of years through three main steps:
1) Around 500 million years ago, South America split from other landmasses and the sediment eroded from new mountains was deposited in an inland sea.
2) Around 90 million years ago, as South America shifted west, the Andes mountains folded from the collision with the Nazca plate. Sediment eroded from the new Andes collected in a basin.
3) In the last 2 million years, ice ages carved the Andes and deposited large amounts of sediment across the basin, which was transported by tributaries to form the plains of the Amazon River.December 2009 Desert Report, CNCC Desert Committee

It summarizes the geological history and formation of the Escarpment between 400-500 million years ago. While karst features exist along the Escarpment, they are relatively underdeveloped due to the Wisconsin Ice Sheet removing existing features around 12,000 years ago, and the short timeframe for new features to form since. The most prominent karst occurs from Manitoulin Island to Grey County where conditions better enable feature development. Though immature, even small-scale features can impact local drainage, as seen in the 2000 Walkerton tragedy.

The preliminary studies found that 65% of beaches were stable, 5% were accreting, and 30% totaling 200 km were eroding. Detailed analysis identified issues in critical areas. The coastline includes cliffs, sandy beaches with fine to medium grain, and pockets beaches. Structures are only present near some ports. Problems include sediment loss in winter storms and interaction between river deposits and underwater canyons, which may transport sediment offshore rather than building beaches. Proposed solutions include limited intervention and artificial beach nourishment protected with submerged structures.Mahdi nori ojgaz

The Rauma River flows through the bottom of the valley and eventually empties into Romsdalsfjorden. Large debris and material regularly flow down the river, making it ideal for white water rafting. This is caused by rocks falling from the steep valley sides due to weathering and freeze-thaw cycles that cause cracking and crumbling of the cliff faces.03 boberg 2012 iaea - wy uranium province

2) The ravines cut into a broad upland ridge composed of thick glacial and lake sediments. During the most recent ice age, massive glaciers deposited layers of till, sand, silt and clay that make up the sediments the ravines eroded into.
3) The oldest sediments exposed in the ravines are fine-grained clay and silt layers deposited in Glacial Lake Chicago as it existed between retreating glacial lobes. These layersNisqually Delta Sediment Budget & Transport Dynamics

Creatine burst into the public consciousness in 1992 when an investigative reporter inside the Olympic Village in Barcelona caught wind of British athletes using a product called Ergomax C150. This led to an explosion of interest in and questions about the ingredient after high-profile British athletes won multiple gold medals.
I developed Ergomax C150, working closely with the late and great Dr. Roger Harris (1944 2024), and Prof. Erik Hultman (1925 2011), the pioneering scientists behind the landmark studies of creatine and athletic performance in the early 1990s.

This presentation delves into the latest advancements in non-invasive intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring techniques, specifically tailored for neurosurgeons. It covers the importance of ICP monitoring in clinical practice, explores various non-invasive methods, and discusses their accuracy, reliability, and clinical applications. Attendees will gain insights into the benefits of non-invasive approaches over traditional invasive methods, including reduced risk of complications and improved patient outcomes. This comprehensive overview is designed to enhance the knowledge and skills of neurosurgeons in managing patients with neurological conditions.
Invasive systems are commonly used for monitoring intracranial pressure (ICP) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are considered the gold standard. The availability of invasive ICP monitoring is heterogeneous, and in low- and middle-income settings, these systems are not routinely employed due to high cost or limited accessibility. The aim of this presentation is to develop recommendations to guide monitoring and ICP-driven therapies in TBI using non-invasive ICP (nICP) systems.
