An understanding of sorptive processes is key to describing the fate of chlorpyrifos [O,O-diethyl-O-(3, 5, 6-trichloro-2-pyridyl) phosphorothioate] in aquatic environments. The objectives of this study were to evaluate isotherms for adsorption and desorption of chlorpyrifos on colloidal materials and to advance understanding of interaction mechanisms between chlorpyrifos and colloidal materials...

Sediment dynamics were investigated in Lake Maggiore, Italy, with field observations from October to mid-December 2012. Three moorings were deployed in Pallanza Bay, a small embayment on the western side of the lake near the Toce River inflow, to measure temperature and currents throughout the water column and suspended sediment concentration (SSC) was estimated with acoustic instrumentation. R...

Continuous seismic records near river channels can be used to quantify the energy induced by river sediment transport. During the 2011 typhoon season, we deployed a seismic array along the Chishan River in the mountain area of southern Taiwan, where there is strong variability in water discharge and high sedimentation rates. We observe hysteresis in the high-frequency (5-15 Hz) seismic noise le...

Understanding the dynamics of the various components (and the mechanisms involved) in a river system and establishing precise relationships between them are important for an accurate description of the sediment transport phenomenon. Despite the significant progress achieved in the last century with the development of a variety of approaches, there is no generally accepted simple relationship be...
