Excess pCO2 and carbonate system geochemistry in surface seawater of the exclusive economic zone of Qatar (Arabian Gulf) by Connor, Izumi

“…The slope suggests that removal of C as CaCO3, organic matter (CH2O) or gas exchange (FCO2) is occurring with a ratio of ΔCaCO3/(ΔCH2O or FCO2) = 1:2.86. The tracer Alk*, defined as the deviation of potential alkalinity (AP) (where AP = TA + 1.26 [NO3]) from conservative potential alkalinity ((ApC), (ApC = S Ap′S′ where A'P and S′ are mean values for the whole surface ocean) has values primarily determined by CaCO3 precipitation and dissolution. …”

Evacuation under flooded conditions: Experimental investigation of the influence of water depth on walking behaviors by Dias, Charitha

“…To propose guidelines for evacuation planning during floods and to develop simulation tools, which can be used in evacuation planning, empirical data are needed under different flooding conditions. However, there is a lack of data and studies on such aspects. This study examines the influence of water depth on human walking behaviors under hydrostatic conditions using the data collected through a controlled laboratory experiment. …”
