The influence of mineralogy and solution chemistry on the attachment of bacteria to representative aquifer materials
TL;DR: In this paper, the rate and extent of bacterial attachment to mineral surfaces (chips of quartz, muscovite, limestone, and Fe-hydroxide-coated quartz and muscavite) was investigated by counting the numbers of bacterial cells associated with each surface over time.
Physical and chemical factors influencing transport of microorganisms through porous media.
TL;DR: In this article, resting-cell suspensions of bacteria isolated from groundwater were added as a pulse to the tops of columns of clean quartz sand, and an artificial groundwater solution (AGW) was pumped through the columns, and bacterial breakthrough curves were established and compared to test the effects of ionic strength of the AGW, cell size (by using strains of similar cell surface hydrophobicity but different size), mineral grain size, and presence of heterogeneities within the porous media on transport of the bacteria.

TL;DR: This chapter concludes with a synthesis of the various community-level physiological profiling (CLPP) approaches, including comparison of their relative strengths and weaknesses, discussion of appropriate applications, and definition of future areas of research.
Atrazine Adsorption and Colloid-Facilitated Transport through the Unsaturated Zone
TL;DR: In this article, the extent of adsorption of atrazine to bulk soil and to soil colloids was investigated at a field site in Virginia during simulated rainfall events and the results indicated that a measurable portion of mobile atrazines is transported via association with colloids.
Riverine discharges to Chesapeake Bay: Analysis of long-term (1927-2014) records and implications for future flows in the Chesapeake Bay basin.
TL;DR: Hydrologic data (1927-2014) for 27 watersheds in the CB basin were analyzed to determine the relationships among long-term precipitation and stream discharge trends, and the linkage between precipitation and discharge was weak, with the linkage weaker in the northern watersheds compared to those in the south.
