1. Observação do transporte de sedimentos em suspensão ao longo do Canal Norte do rio Amazonas durante condições de baixa descarga (outubro 2008) / Observation of suspended sediment transport along North Channel of Amazon river during low discharge (October 2008)
The Amazon river, located in northernBrazil, discharges between 80,000 and 250,000 m3s-1 of water onto the adjacent shelf, creating a plume of brackish water that extends hundreds of kilometers away from the river mouth. This river also carries a large amount of fine sediments to the ocean where fluid mud has been found in the topset and upper foreset layers

2. A new look into the small-scale dispersal of free-living marine nematodes
We tested experimentally the hypothesis that prevailing locomotion/feeding strategies and body morphology may lead to more active dispersal of free-living marine nematodes, besides passive transport. Neutral Red was applied to the sediment inside cores and the red plume formed during the flood tide was divided into near, middle, and distant zones. At 0.5 m a

3. Caracterização espaço-temporal de plumas de sedimentos por sensoriamento remoto: um estudo de caso na foz do rio Paraíba do Sul. / Space-Time characterization of sediments plumes for remote sensoring: a case study in the Foz do Rio Paraíba do Sul.
Sedimentos em suspensão representam um dos principais fatores que afetam a qualidade dos sistemas aquáticos no mundo; influenciam os processos geomórficos de construção da paisagem e podem indicar problemas de erosão e perda de solo na bacia hidrográfica contribuinte. O seu monitoramento espacial e temporal é fundamental nas atividades de gestão amb

4. CirculaÃÃo hidrodinÃmica na regiÃo costeira dos municÃpios de Recife e JaboatÃo dos Guararapes durante o verÃo austral
The SisBaHia model system was used to analyze the hydrodynamic circulation and the sediment transport potential on the coastal region of Recife and JaboatÃo dos Guararapes cities during the austral summer. In the first part of the study, the results of the hydrodynamic model were analyzed and compared with the experimental data gathered at sea with the Acou

5. O impacto de uma lagoa receptora de efluentes industriais contendo boro em um aqüífero raso / Groundwater impact caused by an industrial effluente lagoon with boron
The boron (B) occurs naturally at low concentrations in surface and ground waters used to human supply and irrigation. Although concentration >1mg/L can cause health and environmental problems, detailed studies on transport and fate of B in aquifers are restricted in Brazil. This study investigated the impacts on groundwater quality caused by an industrial (

6. Production and Vertical Flux of Attached Bacteria in the Hudson River Plume of the New York Bight as Studied with Floating Sediment Traps †
We investigated the growth and vertical flux of attached bacteria with floating sediment traps in the Hudson River Plume of the New York Bight during the spring diatom blooms. Traps were floated at the base of the mixed layer (ca. 10 m) for 1-day periods. After recovery, we measured bacterial abundance and rates of [methyl-3H]thymidine incorporation in the t

7. Evidence for microbial iron reduction in a landfill leachate-polluted aquifer (Vejen, Denmark).
Aquifer sediment samples obtained from the anaerobic part of a landfill leachate plume in Vejen, Denmark, were suspended in groundwater or in an artificial medium and incubated. The strictly anaerobic suspensions were tested for reduction of ferric iron [Fe(III)] oxides, which was measured as an increase in the concentration of dissolved Fe(II). Iron reducti

8. Relationships between Microbial Community Structure and Hydrochemistry in a Landfill Leachate-Polluted Aquifer
Knowledge about the relationship between microbial community structure and hydrogeochemistry (e.g., pollution, redox and degradation processes) in landfill leachate-polluted aquifers is required to develop tools for predicting and monitoring natural attenuation. In this study analyses of pollutant and redox chemistry were conducted in parallel with culture-i

9. Denitrification in a Sand and Gravel Aquifer
Denitrification was assayed by the acetylene blockage technique in slurried core material obtained from a freshwater sand and gravel aquifer. The aquifer, which has been contaminated with treated sewage for more than 50 years, had a contaminant plume greater than 3.5-km long. Near the contaminant source, groundwater nitrate concentrations were greater than 1

10. Geomicrobiology of High-Level Nuclear Waste-Contaminated Vadose Sediments at the Hanford Site, Washington State
Sediments from a high-level nuclear waste plume were collected as part of investigations to evaluate the potential fate and migration of contaminants in the subsurface. The plume originated from a leak that occurred in 1962 from a waste tank consisting of high concentrations of alkali, nitrate, aluminate, Cr(VI), 137Cs, and 99Tc. Investigations were initiate

11. Near-Bottom Pelagic Bacteria at a Deep-Water Sewage Sludge Disposal Site †
The epibenthic bacterial community at deep-ocean sewage sludge disposal site DWD-106, located approximately 106 miles (ca. 196 km) off the coast of New Jersey, was assessed for changes associated with the introduction of large amounts of sewage sludge. Mixed cultures and bacterial isolates obtained from water overlying sediment core samples collected at the

12. Biodegradation of Methyl tert-Butyl Ether by a Bacterial Pure Culture
A bacterial strain, PM1, which is able to utilize methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) as its sole carbon and energy source, was isolated from a mixed microbial consortium in a compost biofilter capable of degrading MTBE. Initial linear rates of MTBE degradation by 2 × 106 cells ml−1 were 0.07, 1.17, and 3.56 μg ml−1 h−1 for initial concentrations of 5, 50
