We investigate the dehydration processes in subduction zones and their implications for the water cycle throughout Earth's history. We use a numerical tool that combines thermo-mechanical models with a thermodynamic database to examine slab dehydration for present-day and early Earth settings and its consequences for the deep water recycling. We investigate the reactions responsible for releasi...

The German–Vietnamese water-related information system for the Mekong Delta (WISDOM) project supports business processes in Integrated Water Resources Management in Vietnam. Multiple disciplines bring together earth and ground based observation themes, such as environmental monitoring, water management, demographics, economy, information technology, and infrastructural

extended abstractintroductionwater vapor is considered to be one of more significant atmospheric constituents as it contributes in precipitation and is also a critical element of the climate system. this climate element extended from earth surface to upper level of troposphere that potentially precipitable. accordingly it called perceptible water. therefore the total atmospheric water vapor con...

F or most of Earth’s history, life was microscopic and, even today, microorganisms dominate the planet. Hence, we believe that, if life exists beyond Earth, it likely started as microorganisms and may remain at this stage. Much of contemporary astrobiological research focuses on the metabolic potential of microorganisms and their ability to inhabit extreme environments. The search for life beyo...

  ABSTRACT   Background : Natural uranium exists in earth crust and seawater. The concentration of uranium might increase by human manipulation or geological changes. The aim of this study was to verify susceptibility of laser flourimetry method to determine the uranium concentration in Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf water.   Materials and Methods : Laser flourimetric method was used to determine...

The increasing competition for water resources requires a better understanding of flows, fluxes, stocks, and the services and benefits related to water consumption. This paper explains how public domain Earth Observation data based on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Second Generation Meteosat (MSG), Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM) and various altimeter measur...

Water is a unique natural resource among all sources available on earth. It plays an important role in economic development and the general well-being of the country. This study aimed at using the application of water quality index in evaluating the ground water quality innorth-east area of Jaipur in pre and post monsoon for public usage. Total eleven physico–chemical characteristics; total dis...

S ince publication of the first evidence of liquid water on present-day Mars (Martı́n-Torres et al., 2015) according to Curiosity data, scientists have wondered how best to further investigate the presence of brines. Initial evidence was acquired at Gale Crater, near the equator of the planet, a location where this presence of liquid water was highly unexpected. This evidence was later corrobora...
