New data from Lago Argentino, Patagonia reveal that glacial erosion occurs in discrete pulses, which challenges previous ideas that erosion rates have increased over time due to climate change.

Chemical weathering is a natural process that breaks down rocks and minerals, significantly influencing the carbon cycle and river basin dynamics. This process not only contributes to soil ...

A new study in Chile shows how small differences in rock type can drive large differences in erosion, vegetation, and river networks, illuminating the role of mineralogy in shaping landscapes.

Our work focuses on environmentally desirable coating removal processes, better understanding asset condition based on cumulative exposure, promoting the use of mission- and cost-effective alternative ...

Soil erosion can be a serious problem, especially in large, sloped yards or areas that get a lot of water runoff. Heavy rains, snowmelt, flooding, winds, and extreme wet/dry cycles can loosen and ...

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...

A majority of Britons believe climate change is leading to worsening flooding, more severe storms, and rising seas, according to a new report by the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication ...

Chemical engineers are problem solvers - they bring new medicines to market, develop alternative fuels, keep food manufacturing safe, and create new manufacturing materials. They move small-scale ...

The erosion threshold of sand-mud mixtures is investigated by analyzing the momentum balance of a sand particle or a mud parcel in the mixture bed surface, and a formula for the critical shear stress ...

Chemical Engineering is concerned with the design and operation of processes which convert materials and energy into the higher value products we use every day. It understands the processes which ...
