Reflections on the role of chemical osmosis mechanisms on the long-term behavior of a collapsed salt cavity by Ledoux, Emmanuel, Hertz, Emmanuel, Robinet, Jean-Charles, Combes, Pierre

“…Under the conditions representative of the exploitation of the Lorraine salt deposit, the results indicate that, depending on the case, overpressures or downward flows of fresh water may appear. A brine and dissolved salt balance is established and proves to be highly dependent on the osmotic efficiency coefficient, a parameter that is difficult to assess in natural environments. …”

Geomorphic imprint of high-mountain floods: insights from the 2022 hydrological extreme across the upper Indus River catchment in the northwestern Himalayas by A. Kashyap, K. L. Cook, M. D. Behera

“…To determine how the lower–middle reaches of the upper Indus River responded to this flood event, we employed the enhanced vegetation index (EVI) and the normalized difference water index (NDWI) as change indicator metrics. We observed an inverse causal influence of the NDWI on the EVI and a statistically significant relationship between anomalous stream power and the relative EVI, suggesting that the downstream channel morphology changed rapidly during this episodic event and highlighting the EVI as a useful indicator of geomorphic change. …”

Coculture with Eastern oysters is unlikely to reduce OsHV-1 impacts to farmed Pacific oysters: A modelling approach by Familusi Oluwatosin Adekunle, Gorka Bidegain, Tal Ben-Horin

“…Coculture scenarios did not provide a significant advantage for M. gigas, likely due to OsHV-1 particle saturation in the water column. The model’s performance across diverse scenarios positions it as a valuable tool for understanding waterborne pathogen dynamics in mixed host-species systems, supporting investigations into aquaculture species introductions and their influence on disease dynamics.…”
