    Abstract Recharge to and flow within the Columbia River Basalt Group (CRBG) groundwater flow system of northeastern Oregon were characterized using isotopic, gas, and age-tracer samples from wells completed in basalt, springs, and stream base flow. Most groundwater samples were late-Pleistocene to early-Holocene; median age of well samples was 11,100 years. The relation between mean groundwater age and completed well depth across the eastern portion of the study area was similar despite differences in precipitation, topographic position, incision, thickness of the sedimentary overburden, and CRBG geologic unit. However, the lateral continuity in groundwater age was disrupted across large regional fault zones indicating these structures are substantial impediments to groundwater flow from the high-precipitation uplands to adjacent lower-precipitation and lower-elevation portions of the study area. Recharge rates calculated from the age-depth relations were <3 mm/yr and independent of the modern precipitation gradient across the study area. The age-constrained recharge rates to the CRBG groundwater system are considerably smaller than previously published estimates and highlight the uncertainty of prevailing models used to estimate recharge to the CRBG groundwater system across the Columbia Plateau in Oregon and Washington. Age tracer and isotopic evidence indicate recharge to the CRBG groundwater system is an exceedingly slow and localized process.

    Abstract This feasibility study explored the contextual factors influencing office workers’ adherence to an e-health intervention targeting total and prolonged sedentary time over 12 weeks. A three-arm quasi-randomized intervention included prompts at 30 or 60 min intervals delivered via a smartphone application, and a no-prompt comparison arm. Fifty-six office workers completed baseline (64% female) and 44 completed the 12 week follow-up (80% retention). Ecological momentary assessments (EMA) captured contextual data, with 82.8 ± 24.9 EMA prompt questionnaires completed weekly. Two focus groups with n = 8 Prompt 30 and 60 participants were conducted one-month post-intervention to address intervention acceptability and feasibility. Contextual findings indicate that when working on a sedentary task (i.e., reading or screen-based work) and located at an individual workstation, hourly prompts may be more acceptable and feasible for promoting a reduction in total and prolonged sedentary time compared to 30 min prompts. Interpersonal support also appears important for promoting subtle shifts in sedentary working practices. This novel study gives a real-time insight into the factors influencing adherence to e-health prompts. Findings identified unique, pragmatic considerations for delivering a workplace e-health intervention, indicating that further research is warranted to optimize the method of intervention delivery prior to evaluation of a large-scale intervention.

    Abstract Time series analyses are a crucial tool for uncovering the patterns and processes shaping microbial communities and their functions, especially in aquatic ecosystems. Subsurface aquatic environments are perceived to be more stable than surface oceans and lakes, due to the lack of sunlight, the absence of photosysnthetically-driven primary production, low temperature variations, and oligotrophic conditions. However, periodic groundwater recharge should affect the structure and succession of groundwater microbiomes. To disentangle the long-term temporal changes in bacterial communities of shallow fractured bedrock groundwater, and identify the drivers of the observed patterns, we analysed bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequencing data for samples collected monthly from three groundwater wells over a six-year period (n = 230) along a hillslope recharge area. We showed that the bacterial communities in the groundwater of limestone-mudstone alternations were not stable over time and exhibited non-linear dissimilarity patterns which corresponded to periods of groundwater recharge. Further, we observed an increase in dissimilarity over time (generalized additive model P < 0.001) indicating that the successive recharge events result in communities that are increasingly more dissimilar to the initial reference time point. The sampling period was able to explain up to 29.5% of the variability in bacterial community composition and the impact of recharge events on the groundwater microbiome was linked to the strength of the recharge and local environmental selection. Many groundwater bacteria originated from the recharge-related sources (mean = 66.5%, SD = 15.1%) and specific bacterial taxa were identified as being either enriched or repressed during recharge events. Overall, similar to surface aquatic environments, the microbiomes in shallow fractured-rock groundwater vary through time, though we revealed groundwater recharges as unique driving factors for these patterns. The high temporal resolution employed here highlights the dynamics of bacterial communities in groundwater, which is an essential resource for the provision of clean drinking water; understanding the biological complexities of these systems is therefore crucial.

    Abstract We consider n particles diffusing freely in a domain. The boundary contains absorbing escape regions, where the particles can escape, and traps, where the particles can be captured. Modeled after biological examples such as receptors in the synaptic cleft and ambush predators waiting for prey, these traps, or capture regions, must recharge between captures. We are interested in characterizing the time courses of the number of particles remaining in the domain, the number of cumulative captures, and the number of available capture regions. We find that under certain conditions, the number of cumulative captures increases linearly in time with a slope and duration determined explicitly by the recharge rate of the capture regions. This recharge rate also determines the mean and variance of the clearance time, defined as the time it takes for all particles to leave the domain. Further, we find that while a finite recharge rate will always result in a lower number of captured particles when compared to instantaneous recharging, it can either increase or decrease the amount of variability. Lastly, we extend the model to partially absorbing traps in order to investigate the dynamics of receptor activation within an idealized synaptic cleft. We find that the width of the domain controls the amount of time that these receptors are activated, while the number of receptors controls the amplitude of activation. Our mathematical results are derived from considering this system in several ways: as a full spatial diffusion process with recharging traps, as a continuous-time Markov process on a discrete state space, and as a system of ordinary differential equations in a mean-field approximation.

    Abstract This feasibility study evaluated the effects of an individual-level intervention to target office workers total and prolonged sedentary behaviour during working hours, using an e-health smartphone application. A three-arm (Prompt-30 or 60 min Intervention arm and a No-Prompt Comparison arm), quasi-randomised intervention was conducted over 12 weeks. Behavioural outcomes (worktime sitting, standing, stepping, prolonged sitting, and physical activity) were monitored using accelerometers and anthropometrics measured at baseline, 6 weeks and 12 weeks. Cardiometabolic measures were taken at baseline and 12 weeks. Fifty-six office workers (64% female) completed baseline assessments. The Prompt-60 arm was associated with a reduction in occupational sitting time at 6 (−46.8 min/8 h workday [95% confidence interval = −86.4, −6.6], p < 0.05) and 12 weeks (−69.6 min/8 h workday [−111.0, −28.2], p < 0.05) relative to the No-Prompt Comparison arm. Sitting was primarily replaced with standing in both arms ( p > 0.05). Both Intervention arms reduced time in prolonged sitting bouts at 12 weeks (Prompt-30: −27.0 [−99.0, 45.0]; Prompt-60: −25.8 [−98.4, 47.4] min/8 h workday; both p > 0.05). There were no changes in steps or cardiometabolic risk. Findings highlight the potential of a smartphone e-health application, suggesting 60 min prompts may present an optimal frequency to reduce total occupational sedentary behaviour.

    Abstract Study region: Carbonate karstified aquifers represent one of the most important groundwater reservoirs for both drinking purposes and environmental preservation. Currently, the recharge–discharge equilibrium in these aquifers is at risk of depletion from withdrawal increases and global change effects. Based on these factors, detailed analyses of recharge distribution over the last 20 years (2001–2020), both in terms of rainfall and snow melting contributions, have been carried out for the Gran Sasso regional aquifer (Central Italy). Study focus: Using the same input data, water budgets at different time scales were calculated using the Turc, Thornthwaite and APLIS methods. In addition, simplified future scenarios considering the real risk of climate change effects have been implemented by applying an increase in temperature and a shortage of snow coverage periods. New hydrological insights: The obtained aquifer recharge values are similar and a significant contribution to recharge from snowmelt has also been highlighted. The measured spring discharge values are higher with respect to the calculated recharge, especially in drought periods, underlining the resilience of groundwater resources in the Gran Sasso aquifer; these values are also confirmed by the different responses of spring discharge to recharge variations. A significant decrease in recharge and consequently in baseflow discharge is conceivable for future scenarios, revealing that immediate optimization measures are required to correct groundwater resources management and to avoid potential emergency conditions.

    Title translation Eine Echtzeit-Online-Methode zur Beurteilung der künstlichen Grundwasseranreicherung und Grundwasserentnahme
    Abstract A sustainable water supply in urban areas is a major challenge due to increasing water abstraction as well as diverse anthropogenic inputs. Artificial groundwater recharge has the potential to meet water demand and dilute pollutant concentrations that may be present. High infiltration rates can also create a hydraulic barrier to pollutants from adjacent land uses. The basic prerequisite for using this type of barrier as effectively as possible is an accurate description of the spatial and temporal distribution of groundwater recharge. In the presented case study for a drinking water extraction area in northern Switzerland, we introduce a simple online tool which can be used to complement the large amount of collected data and to digitize and interpret contour maps. The tool simplifies the analysis of collected data and helps to visualize groundwater flow directions and magnitudes. The results can be used to describe complex flow systems, leading to more efficient groundwater monitoring.
