Podcasts about sediments

Currents at the bottom of the ocean can be just as fickle as wind currents at the surface. They can turn, speed up or slow down, and even reverse course. And they can change in just days or even hours.That's the conclusion of the most detailed study of sea-floor currents to date. Researchers anchored 34 instrument packages across a thousand-square-mile region off the coast of Mozambique, at the southeastern corner of Africa. The instruments monitored the currents for four years.The study took place on the continental slope, at depths of up to a mile and a half. The slope is steep, and sharp canyons notch into it. Sediments tumble down the slope and through the canyons.At the bottom of the slope, the currents generally flow from south to north. And in the canyons, they generally flow downhill. Speeds range from about a half to one-and-a-half miles per hour.But researchers found a lot of variation. The speed changes, and so does the direction. Currents can even reverse direction—even in the canyons, where they sometimes flow uphill. Some of the changes are related to the tides or to passing storms or eddies. And others are related to the seasons, so they play out over days or weeks.The researchers say a better understanding of sea-floor currents can tell them more about where ocean sediments come from. That can help them better understand changes in climate, the sources of pollution, and more—swirling along at the bottom of the sea.

The many creatures that dig into the sediments at the bottom of the ocean are ecosystem engineers. Their burrowing, foraging, and even pooping change the ocean landscape—not just close by, but miles away.Sediments have been described as the oceans' compost heaps. They contain bits of rock and dirt washed out to sea by rivers. They also contain bits of organic material—everything from dead skin cells to the wastes of all the fish and other animals in the water above. And they're loaded with bacteria and algae.Many organisms spend much or all of their lives near the bottom—from shallow coastal waters to the deepest ocean trenches. That includes worms, fish, crustaceans, and others.These critters dig burrows to protect them from predators or provide a safe haven for mating. They sculpt patterns in the soft sand or mud to attract mates. They poke through the sediments to scare up food. Some even scoop up the sediments, filter out tasty morsels, then poop out everything that's not edible.All of that activity changes things. It moves sediments from one spot to another. It scatters bacteria. It lifts eggs into the water. It brings nutrients to microscopic organisms.The immediate effects are on a small scale—over a few inches or feet. But they add up. Most of the sea floor is covered with sediments, and as long as there is oxygen, there are animals burrowing and moving the sediments around. So the effects of all these ecosystem engineers add up.

Hold onto your rock hammers, folks!

Nestled within a Spanish forest, the sounds of music mingle with nature. For a few days every year, new friends and old gather together to enjoy what we all love dearly. With the utmost of care the lineup is curated for a continuous stream of wonderful artists to ply their craft. Known as Perpendicular, the intimate festival brings forth incredible sets that range from ambient and experimental through to deep techno and beyond. With the scene set in mind, we arrive at our premiere for today. Valencian artist, David Ortolà aka d_o_ppelgaenger and Szene 9. The release as a whole encapsulates his live set at the past edition of Perpendicular, which makes it all the more special and a window into what the festival provides. Szene 9 begins with swirling drone-like tones and textures followed by off-kilter percussion that evolves over the duration of the track. In addition to the overall pensive atmosphere are melancholic pads that provide just a touch of gravitas. Like a grand crescendo the elements peel away one by one leaving only the synths to gnaw away at the night. Szene 9 and the remainder of d_o_ppelgaenger's amazing ‘Live at Perpendicular 2024' release will be the first on the brand new label, Sediments on November 3rd. Run by both David, and Jaime Romero aka Estrato Aurora the Valencian label will be closely watched and (listened to) by us here at Delayed.

El Ministeri per a la Transició Ecològica ha adjudicat per 1,2 milions d'euros diferents estudis i treballs per millorar la gestió i el trànsit sedimentari del tram final del riu Ebre. Des de l’Associació Sediments, consideren insuficient la inversió, i han recordat que cal superar la fase d’estudis i començar a moure sediments. L’Ajuntament de l’Ampolla ha iniciat aquesta setmana les obres de reposició del paviment del carrer Ronda del Mar

El sector pesquer va tenir ahir dimarts a la tarda el protagonisme a la Comissió d’Estudi del delta de l’Ebre al Parlament de catalunya. En la sessió d’ahir els pescadors van advertir que la pesca és una activitat "molt tocada" pel canvi climàtic i pels continus canvis de normativa que fan complicada la continuïtat del sector. Ahir també va ser el torn dels representants de Seo/Birdlife i Associació Sediments. La presència del caragol maçana al tram final de l'Ebre, concretament a la zona de domini públic marítimo-terrestre aigües avall de Tortosa, ha repuntat aquest 2022. La Confederació Hidrogràfica de l'Ebre (CHE) va finalitzar divendres la campanya de prospecció i retirada de caragols amb 3.000 exemplars i 5.000 postes extretes.

Sediments at a Britsh archaeological site include wheat remains dating back 8,000 years, meaning that Britons were bringing in European wheat two millennia before they grew it. Cynthia Graber reports
