Arctic mercury cycling

Anthropogenic mercury (Hg) emissions have driven marked increases in Arctic Hg levels, which are now being impacted by regional warming, with uncertain ecological consequences. This Review presents a comprehensive assessment of the present-day total Hg mas ...

Evidence that Pacific tuna mercury levels are driven by marine methylmercury production and anthropogenic inputs

Hélène Paule Angot

Pacific Ocean tuna is among the most-consumed seafood products but contains relatively high levels of the neurotoxin methylmercury. Limited observations suggest tuna mercury levels vary in space and time, yet the drivers are not well understood. Here, we m ...

Detailed hydrodynamics of cold density currents generated by differential cooling along the sloping bed of Lake Geneva

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, François Mettra, Rafael Sebastian Reiss

Deep water ventilation and mixing are of great importance for large lake ecosystems. Relevant processes include cold density currents due to differential cooling, inter-basin exchange and upwelling. At present, a good understanding of these processes in la ...

Adapting the dynamic LakeMab model to simulate seasonal variations of phosphorus concentration in reservoirs: a case study of Lake Bultiere (France)

Camille Roland Marie Minaudo, Qian Zhang

Controlling phosphorus is fundamental to limit the risk of eutrophication of continental aquatic ecosystems. Integrated modelling of its concentration in the aquatic continuum requires specific tools for water bodies. However, although simple static empiri ...

High-resolution underwater laser spectrometer sensing provides new insights into methane distribution at an Arctic seepage site

Jérôme Chappellaz

Methane (CH4) in marine sediments has the potential to contribute to changes in the ocean and climate system. Physical and biochemical processes that are difficult to quantify with current standard methods such as acoustic surveys and discrete sampling gov ...

Global spatial analysis of toxic emissions to freshwater: operationalization for LCA

Anna Kounina Massé

PurposeThere is increasing interest in using fate and exposure models to spatially differentiate the impacts of chemical emissions. This work aims at exploring the operationalization in life cycle assessment (LCA) of spatially differentiated models for tox ...

Differential cooling and near-shore dynamics in a large lake (Lake Geneva)

Ulrich Lemmin, Rafael Sebastian Reiss

Density currents generated by differential cooling in lakes with shallow shore regions or side basins are associated with increased vertical mixing, deep water renewal and cross-shore transport of nutrients and other substances. Previous field experiments ...

Kleptoplastidic benthic foraminifera from aphotic habitats: Assimilation (or not) of inorganic C, N, and S studied at sub-cellular resolution

Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

The assimilation of inorganic compounds and their role in the foraminiferal metabolism compared to predation or organic matter assimilation is unknown. Here we investigate these processes with a study of the species Nonionellina labradorica (Dawson, 1860), ...

Simulating Biogenic Secondary Organic Aerosol During Summertime in China

Athanasios Nenes, Mengmeng Li

Biogenic secondary organic aerosol (BSOA) contributes significantly to summertime organic particulate matter. In this study, a simulation of BSOA for summer 2012 over China is performed using the Community Multiscale Air Quality model with an explicit repr ...

Surviving anoxia in marine sediments: The metabolic response of ubiquitous benthic foraminifera (Ammonia tepida)

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin

High input of organic carbon and/or slowly renewing bottom waters frequently create periods with low dissolved oxygen concentrations on continental shelves and in coastal areas; such events can have strong impacts on benthic ecosystems. Among the meiofauna ...
