Model simulations in humid and semi-arid basins revealed distinct thresholds where wildfires begin to significantly alter river water flows and dissolved nutrient transport.
Researchers developed a new technique that combined mass spectrometry and label-free optical imaging to map molecular and structural changes in healthy and diseased lung tissue, providing new insight into bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
Across 47 sites in the Yakima River Basin of Washington State, faster oxygen consumption occurred with warmer water, more nutrients, and more suspended solids.
Dynamic organic matter traits tied to reactions can surpass static descriptors in explaining decomposition rates and responses to environmental change.
Using an AI approach to combine outputs from microbial models and apply them as inputs to reactive-transport models reduces computational time by several orders of magnitude.
Using multiple specialized techniques, IDREAM researchers gained a better understanding of how trace impurities within gibbsite affect the hydrogen yield.
Integrating experiments and modeling show how a fungal exudate-inspired substrate mixture elicits an emergent growth phenotype and metabolic responses in Pseudomonas putida.
