The success of Environmental Health Perspectives is connected to the careers of many members of the International Society of Environmental Epidemiology (ISEE), the International Society of Exposure Sciences (ISES), and the International Society of Indoor Air Quality and Climate (ISIAQ)—three societies that will hold, for the first time ever, a joint annual meeting in 2013. The conference, " Env...

This work quantifies the agricultural water footprint (WF) of production (WFprod, agr) and consumption (WFcons, agr) and the resulting net virtual water import (netVWi, agr) of 365 European river basins for a reference period (REF, 1996–2005) and two diet scenarios (a healthy diet based upon food-based dietary guidelines (HEALTHY) and a vegetarian (VEG) diet). In addition to total (tot) amounts...

Abstract Surface water of rivers like the Rhine is a highly relevant environmental and an important source Dutch drinking water. To improve protection environment supply, it to have continuous overview chemical composition river. Such may be obtained with contemporary, untargeted analytical platforms gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Interpretation such data however challenged by presence m...

Human intervention makes river channels adjust their slope and bed surface grain size as they transition to a new equilibrium state in response engineering measures. Climate change alters the controls through hydrograph changes sea level rise. We assess how channel climate compares human over this century (2000–2100), focusing on 300-km reach of Rhine River. set up schematized numerical model r...

BACKGROUND Mammalian fossils from the Eppelsheim Formation (Dinotheriensande) have been a benchmark for Neogene vertebrate palaeontology since 200 years. Worldwide famous sites like Eppelsheim serve as key localities for biochronologic, palaeobiologic, environmental, and mammal community studies. So far the formation is considered to be of early Late Miocene age (~9.5 Ma, Vallesian), representi...
