The framework is presented through a case study on an oceanic container transportation application.
In macroecology, population networks are pervasive in a variety of social and ecological settings such as human settlements connected by transportation routes3, oceanic islands connected by migration4, and faraway plant populations connected by seed dispersal5,6.
Evaporation, cooling, condensation, and rainout occur by different meteorological processes such as transportation from oceanic to continental regions, orographic lifting, and convective processes (Rozanski et al. 1993).
Rivers, connecting the terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems, plays a unique role in the transportation of weathering products and pollutants from land to ocean.
Many geophysical phenomena in subduction zones, such as the generation of arc volcanism and the occurrence of intraslab earthquakes, are considered to be related to fluid transportation into the mantle by subducting oceanic plates (e.g., Tatsumi 1989; Kirby et al. 1996; Magee and Zoback 1993).
This data enables myriad systems which increase the efficiency of every form of transportation on Earth, reducing the fuel consumption of cars, ships and trans-oceanic planes by up to 15%.
Previous studies suggested that the hydrated oceanic crust, which is the uppermost part of a subducting plate, plays an important role in fluid transportation into the mantle (e.g., Iwamori and Zhao 2000; Kawakatsu and Watada 2007).
The thick (either solid or dashed) lines indicate the schematic transportation path of H2O that are predicted in this numerical model, with specific transport reaction events labeled <1> to <4> as follows: At <1>, the subducting oceanic crust dehydrates, and a part of the H2O within the oceanic crust is released upwards as aqueous fluid.
