With rapid global urbanization, massive anthropogenic inputs of organic matter and
inorganic nutrients are resulting in severe pollution of urban rivers and consequently altering …

Groundwater‐level changes after earthquakes provide insight into changes in
hydrogeological properties such as permeability and pore pressure. Quantifying such …

An understanding of the detailed mechanisms and processes of hydrochemical changes in
regional groundwater flow systems in response to large earthquakes has been hindered …

Thermal springs in the Southern Alps, New Zealand, originate through penetration of fluids
into a thermal anomaly generated by rapid uplift and exhumation on the Alpine Fault. This …

Post-seismic microbial changes in aquifer systems have rarely been documented, and the
processes to explain these changes have yet to be explicated. Microbial communities within …

Abstract The Kumamoto Earthquake is named after the Kumamoto Prefecture where the
series of earthquakes occurred in the city located on the island of Kyushu, in southwest …

Viable indicators of nitrogen (N) attenuation at the catchment scale are needed in order to
sustainably manage global agricultural intensification. We hypothesized that the dominance …

Streams play a critical role in attenuating the excess reactive nitrogen (N) generated from
human activities. Consequently, streams can also emit significant amounts of the potent …

The contribution of ecotoxic dissolved metals from metallic roofs into urban waterways is a
global issue. Identifying the specific origin of dissolved metals is critical to enabling …

We investigated how the nutrient status of Matsushima Bay was affected when a wastewater
plant was destroyed by a tsunami in March 2011. The nutrient concentrations in the …
