#Schwebstofffracht (#Sediment) bei #Hochwasser:
Die #ÖtztalerAche hat gestern bei den geschätzten 400m³/s bis zu 27g/l Schwebstoff transportiert.
Heißt: etwa 11 Tonnen Sediment PRO SEKUNDE wurden aus dem #Ötztal rausgespült (oder 40.000 Tonnen pro Stunde).

But on to the more important.... “Crawford Lake, where the start of the #Anthropocene has provisionally been identified with a wafer-thin deposit of #sediment located under 22 metres of water plus several more centimetres of mud. Should the Anthropocene ultimately win recognition as a distinct unit of geologic time, its corresponding GSSP is more likely to be identified on a detailed photo of a core sample that was extracted from the lake earlier this year.”
Looking out to #sea (the #EnglishChannel), you can see that the water is various colours too ranging from marine #blue and #green to #brown near the #shore where #sediment gets churned up. (Note, it is nothing to do with the current notorious practices of private water companies.)

The #Oceans Are Missing Their #Rivers
For billions of years, rivers connected continents to the #sea. Then we came along.
By Erica Gies May 3, 2023
"In many places, the great culprit is the dam: a wall of concrete and stone bisecting a river, diverting its energy and water to human use. There are 58,000 'big dams'—50 feet high or taller—around the globe, with another 3,700 more planned, mostly in lower-income countries in Asia and South America.
"Many of the harms caused by dams are well-documented. They block fish passage and starve subsistence fishers; radically alter natural river regimes and aquatic creatures’ lifecycles; and flood forests, wetlands, villages, and historical sites. (They’re also less climate-friendly1 and reliable2 than is widely believed.) Now scientists are describing another impact that has received relatively little attention but appears to also be profound: Dams block #sediment-carrying river pulses into the ocean."

The #alga #Melosiraarctica, which grows under #ArcticSea ice, contains ten times as many #microplastic particles as the surrounding #seawater. This concentration at the base of the #foodweb poses a threat to creatures that feed on the algae at the sea surface. Clumps of #deadalgae also transport the #plastic with its #pollutants particularly quickly into the #dee sea & explains high #microplastic #concentrations in the #sediment there. https://phys.org/news/2023-04-arctic-ice-algae-heavily-contaminated.html

Plastic bags that get dragged along the seafloor by deep-sea currents leave behind parallel lines like tire tracks, impacting the species living far below the surface.

The #Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers deliver half the amount of #sediment they did 50 years ago to #SanFrancisco
Bay. Just as sea-level rise is accelerating, the demand for sediment is growing.
The amount of sediment supplied to estuaries is important to the fate of shallow water habitats, including mudflats and tidal #marshes.

I am so grateful for the friend that has helped me during this process. It is sitting on a pair of polycarbonate cutting boards. This is to prevent the impeller from sucking sediment from the bottom of my sump pump pit.
