Scientists combine a spatially distributed sediment delivery model and biogeochemical model to estimate fluxes by water

Phys.org— Water erosion is the most active process controlling soil formation and evolution, which can affect the redistribution of carbon between terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric ecosystems. Erosion-induced organic carbon dynamic process should not be missing in terrestrial carbon cycle simulations.

Suffolk Gazette—Sewage Water Research Centre scientist bangs the clean water drum. SWINDON, UK – Andrew Drinkwater, Principal Engineer of sewerage, pollution, and flooding at The Water Research Centre in Swindon, may not have become the rock drummer he once dreamed of, but he’s certainly making waves in the sexy world of water management. In an exclusive interview with the SUFFOLK GAZETTE, Drinkwater revealed how his childhood […]

Phys.org—Scientists learn from caterpillars how to create self-assembling capsules for drug delivery. Self-assembling molecules that spontaneously organize themselves to form complex structures are common in nature. For example, the tough outer layer of insects, called the cuticle, is rich in proteins that can self-assemble.

Yahoo Finance—UPS profit beats estimates as cost cuts offset weak delivery demand. UPS reported a 3.2% decline in average daily volumes in its domestic segment and a 5.8% drop in its international segment, but said volumes "showed improvement through the quarter".
