New Innovative Plasma Curing Process For Ham
A team of researchers found an innovative way of curing ham by using plasma-treated water as an alternative to chemical curing solutions.
Landscape Organization and Scale Shape Catchment Hydrology and Biogeochemistry
Resolving these scale-dependent processes is important for predicting, preventing, or mitigating environmental changes that may influence patterns of surface water chemistry within river systems.
How Does Climate Change Impact Sugarcane Production?
A team of researchers from Macquarie University, the University of Queensland and Sugar Research Australia has undertaken a comprehensive review of scientific studies on how climate change impacts sugarcane production
Pollution Risks of Historic Landfills on Coasts and Estuaries
Historic landfills are frequently unlined with no leachate management and inadequate records of the waste they contain, which means there is a very limited understanding of the environmental risk posed if the waste erodes into estuarine or coastal waters.
Ecosystem Engineers in Rivers: How and Where Organisms Create Positive Biogeomorphic Feedbacks
Dr. Polvi and Dr. Sarneel point to the study of ecosystem engineers being an expanding field that is gaining importance, in particular with the need to understand the impacts of invasive species and river restoration.
Evolutionary Leap in Large-Scale Flood Risk Assessment Needed
A call to develop interaction-aware risk models is presented, and the need for adjustments of the flood risk assessment procedures in the implementation of the European Flood Directive is highlighted.
Value from Wastewater
Sewage sludge contains lots of valuable elements. Now, researchers are looking at ways in which wastewater treatment facilities can use it effectively.
Natural Wood for Clean Water
Water is a resource that humans cannot live without. It is considered one of the major global challenges faced by our world. Current desalination techniques have limitations, including salt accumulation, and extracting water from ground sources has been less studied....
