Pollution and climate change issues are calling for advanced techniques of pollutant
sequestration to decrease toxicity, of coral and costal remediation, and of carbon …

Water cycle science is confronted with the critical challenge of understanding sources,
pathways, and processes that govern the availability of water and its interaction with …

Stable isotope signatures provide an integral fingerprint of origin, flow paths, transport
processes, and residence times of water in the environment. However, the full potential of …

Stable oxygen isotopic ratios in corals (δ18Ocoral) are commonly utilized to reconstruct
climate variability beyond the limit of instrumental observations. These measurements …

Salinity is a decisive abiotic factor that modulates the physiology of aquatic organisms.
Salinity itself is modulated by various factors—most notably by anthropogenic factors. In …

Uncertainties surround the relationship between salinity and the stable isotopic composition
of seawater, largely due to a dearth of modern seawater isotope data. Here we report 191 …

Natural radioactive tracer-based assessments of basin-scale submarine groundwater
discharge (SGD) are well developed. However, SGD takes place in different modes and the …

Reconstructions of salinity are used to diagnose changes in the hydrological cycle and
ocean circulation. A widely used method of determining past salinity uses oxygen isotope (δ …

Stable isotopes present in water (δ2H, δ18O) have been used extensively to evaluate
hydrological processes on the basis of parameters such as evaporation, precipitation …

Floods and droughts are hydrological extremes that impact ecosystems, agriculture, and
human well-being. These extremes are expected to intensify in a warmer world, although …
