Geotechnical research has been yearning for revolutionary innovations that could bring
breakthroughs to conventional practices, especially at a time when energy efficiency and …

Fifty years of hyporheic zone research have shown the important role played by the
hyporheic zone as an interface between groundwater and surface waters. However, it is only …

Background We live in a plastic age (Thompson et al., 2009), with microplastic (typically
defined as plastic particles< 5 mm) becoming an increasingly appreciated aspect of …

Expanding water reuse-the use of treated wastewater for beneficial purposes including
irrigation, industrial uses, and drinking water augmentation-could significantly increase the …

Understanding and predicting colloid transport and retention in water‐saturated porous
media is important for the protection of human and ecological health. Early applications of …

Recent field and laboratory experiments have identified colloid-facilitated transport of
contaminants as an important mechanism of contaminant migration through groundwater …

Contaminants originatingfrom human activities have entered the subsurface environment
through waste disposal practices, spills, and land application of chemicals. The …

There is increasing interest and need to develop a deeper understanding of the nature, fate
and behaviour of nanoparticles in the environment. This is driven by the increased use of …

A conceptual model for colloid transport is developed that accounts for colloid attachment,
straining, and exclusion. Colloid attachment and detachment is modeled using first-order …

Suffusion, the process of particle migration and clogging within porous media, exerts a
remarkable impact on various natural and engineered systems. Properties of the coarse …
