Saline waters, of unknown origin, have been encountered in the basal portions of the phreatic Coastal Plain aquifer of Israel. (234)U/(238)U disequilibrium was used to trace their origin to the evaporate layers within the Saqiye aquiclude, the most saline, and the warmest (up to 42 degrees C) waters are also those that have the highest uranium concentrations combined with low (234)U/(238)U activity ratios, derived as the ascending brines traverse underlying uranium-rich Senonian phosphorites, in secular equilibrium along fault conduits.

Coastal deoxygenation poses a critical threat to tropical coral reefs. Dissolved oxygen (DO) depletion can cause hypoxia-induced stress and mortality for scleractinian corals. Coral hypoxic responses are species-specific and likely modulated by the duration and severity of low-DO conditions, although the physiological mechanisms driving hypoxia tolerance are not fully understood.

The contamination of groundwater with geogenic ammonium (NH) across various geological backgrounds has garnered significant attention, particularly in coastal aquifer systems. However, there remains a gap in our understanding of the mechanisms governing the spatial variability of NH in coastal groundwater at a macroscopic scale. In this study, we collected the sediment samples from two boreholes corresponding to high-NH-N and low-NH-N groundwater.

(Theobald) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), commonly called the sorghum aphid, is an invasive pest of sorghum () (L.) in North America. It was first observed in 2013 along the Gulf Coastal Plains ecoregion of Texas, Louisiana (USA), and Mexico, where it quickly established itself as an economically important pest within a few years.
