Erosion of agricultural land endangers the livelihood of millions of people who depend on natural resources. Soil and water conservation practices (SWCP) are intended to reduce runoff production and erosion. Under-standing surface runoff drivers are crucial for the effective design and implementation of SWCPs. We present field observations of compl...

The stratigraphic-diffusive type of gas hydrate system is formed by microbial methane produced in a shallow slope space when flowing laterally into hydrate stable zones and is worth studying for both energy supply and academic understanding. A deposition production model matching the vertical and lateral seabed morphological characteristics was con...

Groundwater fluxes in tidal marshes largely control key ecosystem functions and services, such as vegetation growth, soil carbon sequestration, and nutrient cycling. In tidal marshes restored on formerly embanked agricultural land, groundwater fluxes are often limited as compared to nearby natural marshes, as a result of historical agricultural soi...
High performance moisture-driven power generators were developed by laser induced graphitization (LIG) of sodium chloride-impregnated cellulose nanofiber films (CNFs). CNFs impregnated with different amounts of NaCl were obtained by immersing CNFs in NaCl solutions of various concentrations. A CO2 laser engraver was employed to convert the CNFs to ...
Heterogeneous fracture aperture distribution, dictated by surface roughness, mechanical rock and fracture properties, and effective stress, limits the predictive capabilities of many reservoir‐scale models that commonly assume smooth fracture walls. Numerous experimental studies have probed key hydromechanical responses in single fractures; however...
Natural gas hydrate is considered as a promising energy resource in the future. How to choose a suitable production pressure is a key issue when depressurization is taken as the production way of gas hydrate. In this study, we conducted the experiments of methane hydrate dissociation under different production pressures. The influences of productio...

Micro-scale cooling is an efficient and effective cooling technique to achieve the goal of higher heat removal capabilities. The present research focuses to find the physical effects of fluid property variations on flow and thermal development in micro-channel. The effects of temperature-dependent density, viscosity, and thermal conductivity variat...
