Body of water
… sea is dualistic: it is simultaneously a source of life and death, a vehicle which connects yet separates, and an invisible substance which contains life yet conceals it within. As Sublime Landscape, the sea prompts a state of bliss and terror, of fear and delight, as 'away-place', it becomes a …

Development of a multi-stage bubble column dehumidifier for application in a hymidification dehumidification desalination system
The Center for Clean Water and Clean Energy at MIT and KFUPM have been developing many novel desalination systems. One of the new technologies originating from the Lienhard Research Laboratory is the Humidification Dehumidification desalination system, or HDH. In many ways HDH resembles the natural …

Controls on Stratigraphy and Architecture of Shallow-Water Deltas: Examples from the Early Cretaceous of Central-Eastern Spain
Deltas form where a river meets a standing body of water (e.g. ocean) and deposits its sediment load. They are sensitive recorders of the interplay of fluvial (river) processes, that deliver the sediment to the standing body of water, and wave and tidal processes that redistribute the delivered …

A reexamination of stratification processes in Ides Cove, N.Y. with reference to sediment geochemistry
Ides Cove is a small, relatively deep, isolated body of water off Irondequoit Bay of Lake Ontario, Irondequoit, N.Y. In 1970-71, the cove was meromictic with meromixis being attributed to the heavy application of deicing salts in the cove's watershed. Application of deicing salts to roads in the …

Pluvial Flood Risk Estimation Procedure for Small Urban Watersheds
Pluvial flooding, when runoff causes flooding before it reaches a body of water, is a type of flooding that often is overlooked in flood risk studies. This study outlines a general procedure that can be used to model urban pluvial flood scenarios, estimate damages, and quantify pluvial flood risk …

A Journey to the Late Bronze Age Minoan Underworld: The Reflection of Sunlight on the Sea as an Axis Mundi
Around the times of sunrise and sunset, the sun’s reflection on a large body of water, such as a sea, appears as an elongated gold band, also called a ‘glitter path’. For the first time, this research explores this intangible manifestation of light from an archaeological perspective, focusing on …

INVESTIGATION OF DEAD OCEAN QUAHOGS (ARCTICA ISLANDICA) SHELLS ON THE MID-ATLANTIC BIGHT CONTINENTAL SHELF
… quahog shells were discovered south and inshore of the present biogeographic range of this animal. The presence of ocean quahog shells outside the current range is presumably a consequence of past regressions and transgressions of the Cold Pool, the bottom-trapped, cool body of water that allows …
