Accumulation of sediment

This study was carried out to analyze and evaluate the change in the amount of suspended sediment on the Tien River in the Mekong Delta. Evaluating the sediment transport regime is a very important task to effectively serve the assessment of the level of evolution (erosion/accumulation) on the riverbed.

Heavy metals have big impacts on environmental quality and ecological risk. In this research, the Igeo accumulation index and ecological risk index (ERI) were used to assess the heavy metal pollution and ecological risk in the sediment of Cua Luc Bay, Quang Ninh Province.

High-resolution marine seismic reflection studies on the eastern shelf of the Saros Gulf have revealed the presence of gascharged sediments across a narrow submarine valley incised by the Ganos Fault along the North Anatolian Fault system. Quaternary sediments, accumulated during glacial and interglacial periods through transgressional and progradational units, were controlled by glacio-eustatic sea-level fluctuations and tectonic deformation. The transgressional units made of upward-fining deposits created seals at their tops to form gas accumulation pockets.

The sedimentary record confirmed that microplastics have been accumulating in these estuaries since the early 1950s, and their abundances have increased greatly in more recent years in response to the progressive urbanization of the watersheds and intensification of land uses. Our results highlight the role of salt marsh sediments as sinks for microplastics in the marine environment.

The problem of flooding and drought is believed to be the impact of the water system in the poor watershed area. The flooding that later resulted in the accumulation of sediment in the downstream region and reservoir area, this was related to the condition of the forest in the upper part of the base.

Bioremediation presents a potentially low cost and environmentally agreeable alternative to current physico-chemical remediation strategies. However, heavy metals such as mercury cannot be converted into non-toxic forms by naturally occurring bacteria. Annual global emissions estimates for mercury released into the environment are in the thousands of tons per year [1,2] while the remediation cost is in the thousands of dollars per pound. Finding new bioremediation technologies is an urgent need.
