Extreme Drought in the Brazilian Pantanal in 2019–2020: Characterization, Causes, and Impacts

José A. Marengo, Ana Paula Martins do Amaral Cunha, Luz Adriana Cuartas et al. · 23 Feb 2021

The Pantanal region in South America is one of the world's largest wetlands. Since 2019, the Pantanal has suffered a prolonged drought that has spelled disaster for the region, and subsequent fires have engulfed hundreds of thousands of hectares. The lack of rainfall during the summers of 2019 and 2020 was caused by reduced transport…

Rivers as Plastic Reservoirs

Tim van Emmerik, Yvette Mellink, Rahel Hauk et al. · 26 Jan 2022

Land-based plastic waste, carried to the sea through rivers, is considered a main source of marine plastic pollution. However, most plastics that leak into the environment never make it into the ocean. Only a small fraction of plastics that are found in the terrestrial and aquatic compartments of river systems are emitted, and the vast…

Soil Moisture and Air Humidity Dependence of the Above-Ground Cosmic-Ray Neutron Intensity

Markus Köhli, Jannis Weimar, Martin Schrön et al. · 28 Jan 2021

Investigations of neutron transport through air and soil by Monte Carlo simulations led to major advancements toward a precise interpretation of measurements; they particularly improved the understanding of the cosmic-ray neutron footprint. Up to now, the conversion of soil moisture to a detectable neutron count rate has relied mainly on the equation presented by Desilets…

Large-Scale Boron-Lined Neutron Detection Systems as a 3He Alternative for Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing

Jannis Weimar, Markus Köhli, Christian Budach et al. · 17 Sep 2020

Cosmic-Ray neutron sensors are widely used to determine soil moisture on the hectare scale. Precise measurements, especially in the case of mobile application, demand for neutron detectors with high counting rates and high signal-to-noise ratios. For a long time Cosmic Ray Neutron Sensing (CRNS) instruments have relied on $^3$He as an efficient neutron converter. Its…

Benthic Macroinvertebrates as Ecological Indicators: Their Sensitivity to the Water Quality and Human Disturbances in a Tropical River

Lallébila Tampo, Idrissa Kaboré, Elliot Haruna Alhassan et al. · 16 Sep 2021

Macroinvertebrate metrics are helpful tools for the assessment of water quality and overall aquatic ecosystem health. However, their degree of sensitivity and the most reliable metrics for the bioassessment program development are very poorly studied in Togo. This study aimed to test the sensitivity of metrics calculated at the family and genus levels. A total…
