Simulations reveal advantages of using new model vs. allometric scaling for risk assessment.

A multi-institutional team has obtained information about nanoscale interactions between the spike protein of the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and common household inorganic surfaces.

Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found at Superfund Sites induces enzymes in dose- and time-dependent patterns in mice.

A new microbial community model reveals previous exposure to hydrologic variation influences a species’ specialized biogeochemical functions.

Detailed characterization of molecules in, under, and along the Columbia River reveal potential mechanisms for biogeochemical cycling.

Integrating hydrogeology and biogeochemistry are required to model the dynamics of geochemical processes occurring in river corridor zones where groundwater and surface water mix.

Theoretical analysis reveals flow variations that happen over longer time periods affect a plume’s spread and center of mass.

The web-based tool, called PLATIPUS, is publicly available and interacts with publications available in the CovidScholar database.

Modeling study suggests vigorous ventilation can cause spike in viral concentrations

High-throughput biochemical assays targeting a vital viral protein identified one molecule out of more than 13,000 with promising antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2.

Principles derived from coastal wetlands to describe wetland channel cross-sections were applicable to the Columbia River estuary, but not the tidal river.

An updated version of a widely used database will provide powerful insights into the global carbon cycle.

Variability in field measurement conditions likely does not impact estimates of an important flux in the global carbon cycle.

Pacific Northwest marsh carbon stocks are twice the global average. Long-term sea-level rise impacts will likely decrease ecosystem carbon stocks.
