Geochemical control on uranium(IV) mobility in a mining-impacted wetland

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Elena Suvorova Buffat, Alexandre Bagnoud, Yuheng Wang, Lydie Chesaux

Wetlands often act as sinks for uranium and other trace elements. Our previous work at a mining-impacted wetland in France showed that a labile noncrystalline U(IV) species consisting of U(IV) bound to Al-P-Fe-Si aggregates was predominant in the soil at l ...

Modelling Drifting Snow Sublimation and Investigating Small-Scale Snow Transport

Christine Dorothea Groot Zwaaftink

Drifting snow has a large influence on the mountain snow cover and the overlying atmospheric boundary layer. Consequently, drifting snow also affects avalanches, snow hydrology, vegetation and climate. Considerable effort is devoted to understanding the pr ...

Gut homeostasis in a microbial world: insights from Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre, Nichole Broderick

Intestinal homeostasis is achieved, in part, by the integration of a complex set of mechanisms that eliminate pathogens and tolerate the indigenous microbiota. Drosophila melanogaster feeds on microorganism-enriched matter and therefore has developed effic ...

Distribution of denitrifying bacterial communities in the stratified water column and sediment-water interface in two freshwater lakes and the Baltic Sea

We have studied the distribution and community composition of denitrifying bacteria in the stratified water column and at the sediment-water interface in lakes Plusee and Schohsee, and a near-shore site in the Baltic Sea in Germany. Although environmental ...

A Unique Skeletal Microstructure of the Deep-Sea Micrabaciid Scleractinian Corals

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

Micrabaciids are solitary, exclusively azooxanthellate deep-sea corals belonging to one of the deepest-living (up to 5,000 m) scleractinian representatives. All modern micrabaciid taxa (genera: Letepsammia, Rhombopsammia, Stephanophyllia, Leptopenus) have ...

Multi-parameter study on the start-up phase in aerobic granular sludge technology for wastewater treatment

Marie Corbaz

The goal of the study was to test 3 parameters and to evaluate their importance on the start-up of aerobic granular biofilm reactors. Aerobic granules are bacterial aggregates that have a minimum size of 0.2 mm. They can treat the influent COD, phosphate a ...

The importance of being coupled: Stable states and catastrophic shifts in tidal biomorphodynamics

Andrea Rinaldo

We describe and apply a point model of the joint evolution of tidal landforms and biota which incorporates the dynamics of intertidal vegetation; benthic microbial assemblages; erosional, depositional, and sediment exchange processes; wind-wave dynamics, a ...

Colloidal organic matter from wastewater treatment plant effluents: Characterization and role in metal distribution

Laura Sigg

Colloidal organic matter from wastewater treatment plants was characterized and examined with respect to its role in metal distribution by using tangential flow ultrafiltration, liquid chromatography coupled with organic carbon and UV detectors, and an asy ...

Development of a hyphenated analytical methodology for the fractionation and characterization of environmental colloids

Enrica Alasonati

Natural colloids are defined as macromolecules and nanoparticles with sizes ranging between 1 nm and 1 µm. Colloidal pool is complex "ill-defined" mixture of humic substances, exopolymeric substances (EPS), inorganic oxides, clays, etc. Aquatic colloids ha ...

Molar mass, surface tension, and droplet growth kinetics of marine organics from measurements of CCN activity

Athanasios Nenes

The CCN-relevant properties and droplet growth kinetics are determined for marine organic matter isolated from seawater collected near the Georgia coast. The organic matter is substantially less CCN active than (NH4)2SO4, but droplet growth kinetics are si ...
