Density effects on nanoparticle transport in the hyporheic zone

David Andrew Barry, Ho Ling Li, Qihao Jiang

A carbon solution composed of nanoparticles was used in experiments designed to explore nanoparticle transport characteristics within the hyporheic zone of a riverbed. Experiments and numerical simulations demonstrated that nanoparticle transport in the hy ...

Fast Potentiometric CO2 Sensor for High-Resolution in Situ Measurements in Fresh Water Systems

Nadezda Pankratova

We present a new potentiometric sensor principle and a calibration protocol for in situ profiling of dissolved CO2 with high temporal and spatial resolution in fresh water lakes. The sensor system is based on the measurement of EMF between two solid-contac ...
