Hydrology for impact: building partnerships, blending knowledge and bracing for climate change.

The hydrology community plays a critical role in understanding, communicating and managing hydroclimatic hazards and water security. As climate-related trends and risks emerge, there is an urgent need to help communities and organizations prepare for changes that are already underway and expected to become more severe. There is consensus about the need for transdisciplinary collaboration and participatory research to co-create knowledge to support informed decision-making.

Adaptation and study protocol for harvest for health together Arizona: A mentored community garden intervention for survivors of cancer.

Background: Current health behavior recommendations for skin cancer prevention, treatment, and survivorship are the same for survivors of other cancers; they include eating a healthy diet, being physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and minimizing ultraviolet (U.V.) exposure.

Biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons in a weathered, unsaturated soil is inhibited by peroxide oxidants.

Field-weathered crude oil-containing soils have a residual concentration of hydrocarbons with complex chemical structure, low solubility, and high viscosity, often poorly amenable to microbial degradation. Hydrogen peroxide (HO)-based oxidation can generate oxygenated compounds that are smaller and/or more soluble and thus increase petroleum hydrocarbon biodegradability. In this study, we assessed the efficacy of HO-based oxidation under unsaturated soil conditions to promote biodegradation in a field-contaminated and weathered soil containing high concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons (25200 mg TPH kg) and total organic carbon (80900 mg TOC kg).
