Assessing Connectivity Between an Overlying Aquifer and a Coal Seam Gas Resource Using Methane Isotopes, Dissolved Organic Carbon and Tritium

 
 

Charlotte P. Iverach, Dioni I. Cendón, Stuart I. Hankin et al.

 
 

Coal seam gas (CSG) production can have an impact on groundwater quality and quantity in adjacent or overlying aquifers. To assess this impact we need to determine the background …

 
 
 
 
 
 

Forest soil carbon is threatened by intensive biomass harvesting

 
 

David L. Achat, Mathieu Fortin, Guy Landmann et al.

 
 

Forests play a key role in the carbon cycle as they store huge quantities of organic carbon, most of which is stored in soils, with a smaller part being held in vegetation. While …

 
 
 
 
 
 

Highly sensitive image-derived indices of water-stressed plants using hyperspectral imaging in SWIR and histogram analysis

 
 

David M. Kim, Hairong Zhang, Haiying Zhou et al.
