Glacial erosion processes shape the Earth’s surface. Nevertheless, the processes that drive glacial erosion and the subsequent export of sediments are poorly understood and quantified. These processes include ice sliding, which controls erosion by abrasion ...
2021Silicon isotopes in Arctic and sub-Arctic glacial meltwaters: the role of subglacial weathering in the silicon cycle
Glacial environments play an important role in high-latitude marine nutrient cycling, potentially contributing significant fluxes of silicon (Si) to the polar oceans, either as dissolved silicon (DSi) or as dissolvable amorphous silica (ASi). Silicon is a ...
2019Freshwater Flux and Spatiotemporal Simulated Runoff Variability into Ilulissat Icefjord, West Greenland, Linked to Salinity and Temperature Observations near Tidewater Glacier Margins Obtained Using Instrumented Ringed Seals
The distribution of terrestrial surface runoff to Ilulissat Icefjord, west Greenland, is simulated for the period 2009-13 to better emphasize the spatiotemporal variability in freshwater flux and the link between runoff spikes and observed hydrographic con ...
Amer Meteorological Soc2015Comparative bioaccumulation of trace elements between Nautilus pompilius and Nautilus macromphalus (Cephalopoda: Nautiloidea) from Vanuatu and New Caledonia
The concentrations of 16 trace elements were investigated and compared for the first time in the digestive and excreting tissues of two Nautilus species (Cephalopoda: Nautiloidea) from two geologically contrasted areas: (1) N. macromphalus from New Caledon ...
2009Breathing sediments: The control of diffusive transport across the sediment-water interface by periodic boundary-layer turbulence
We performed combined in situ measurements of bottom boundary-layer turbulence and of diffusive oxygen fluxes at the sediment-water interface in a medium-sized mesotrophic lake. The turbulence was driven by internal seiching with a period of 18 h. This per ...
Amer Soc Limnology Oceanography2003Turbulent kinetic energy balance as a tool for estimating vertical diffusivity in wind-forced stratified waters
Based on microstructure measurements in a simply shaped lake basin, the sources of vertical mixing in the stratified part of the water body were identified and estimates of their relative importance obtained by balancing turbulent kinetic energy introduced ...
