Integrating Earth Observation with Stream Health and Agricultural Activity by David Chatzidavid, Eleni Kokinou, Stratos Kokolakis, Matina Karagiannidou

“…Specifically, low-cost and rapid ground and Earth observation techniques were used to (a) obtain a rapid assessment of stream soil and water patterns, (b) create a database of selected parameters for the study area that can be used for future comparisons, and (c) identify soil variability in agricultural fields adjacent to streams and determine soil zones that will enable the rational use of inputs (water, fertilisers, and pesticides). Robust techniques from related fields of topography, geology, geophysics, and remote sensing were combined using GIS for two selected areas (I and II) in Heraklion, central Crete (Greece) in the eastern Mediterranean. …”

Impacts of climate change, land-use change and phosphorus reduction on phytoplankton in the River Thames (UK) by Bussi, G, Whitehead, P, Bowes, M, Read, D, Prudhomme, C, Dadson, S

“…However, an optimal phosphorus removal mitigation strategy, which combines reduction of fertiliser application and phosphorus removal from wastewater, can help to reduce this increase in phytoplankton concentration, and in some cases, compensate for the effect of rising temperature.…”

Bend propagation in the flagella of migrating human sperm by Smith, D, Gaffney, E, Gadelha, H, Kapur, N, Kirkman-Brown, J

“…A pre-requisite for sexual reproduction is successful unification of the male and female gametes; in externally-fertilising echinoderms the male gamete is brought into close proximity to the female gamete through chemotaxis, the associated signalling and flagellar beat changes being elegantly characterised in several species. …”

The long-term impacts of anthropogenic and natural processes on groundwater deterioration in a multilayered aquifer by Narany, Tahoora Sheikhy, Sefie, Anuar, Aris, Ahmad Zaharin

“…Additionally, a strong association between high nitrate values and the areas covered with palm oil cultivations and mixed agricultural have been detected by a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), which implies that the increasing nitrate concentrations are associated with nitrate loading from the application of N-fertilisers. From the process of groundwater salinisation in the intermediate aquifer, could be seen that it has a strong correlation the aquifer lithology, specifically marine sediments which are influenced by the ancient seawater trapped within the sediments.…”
