This work utilizes synchrotron-based x-ray computed microtomography (x-ray CMT) imaging to quantify
the volume and topology of supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO₂) on a pore-scale basis throughout the
primary drainage process of a 6 mm diameter Bentheimer sandstone core. Experiments were performed
with brine and scCO₂ at 8.3 MPa (1200 psi)...
During the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami, numerous bridge structures were damage or destroyed. The damage to bridge systems was caused by long duration strong ground shaking, tsunami inundation forces, or both. Long duration strong ground shaking from subduction zone earthquakes and the multi-hazard scenario of combined earthquake...
Stressors associated with human activities interact in complex ways to affect marine ecosystems,
yet we lack spatially explicit assessments of cumulative impacts on ecologically and
economically key components such as marine predators. Here we develop a metric of
cumulative utilization and impact (CUI) on marine predators by combining electronic tracking...

This report presents progress accomplished during the 20-month period from 1 July 1972 through 31 March 1974 as part of the program "Ecological Studies of Radioactivity in the Columbia River Estuary and Adjacent Pacific Ocean". This program is a continuing study supported by the Division of Biomedical and Environmental Research...
Natural gas extraction, often referred to as “fracking,” has increased rapidly in the U.S. in recent years. To address potential health impacts, passive air samplers were deployed in a rural community heavily affected by the natural gas boom. Samplers were analyzed for 62 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Results were grouped...

After publication the authors discovered a mistake in the air concentration calculations. PAH air concentrations reported in the original article are therefore incorrect. The calculation error resulted from using incorrect units of the ideal gas constant, and improper cell linkages in the spreadsheet used to adjust air concentrations for sampling...
