Controlling factors of phytoplankton distribution in the river–lake transition zone of a large lake

David Andrew Barry, Frédéric Charles Soulignac, Matthieu Fallet

River–lake transition zones have been identified as major drivers of phytoplankton growth. With climate change reducing the frequency of complete lake overturns, it is expected that the Rhône River, the main tributary to Lake Geneva (France/Switzerland), w ...

Climatic and Ecological Impact of Greenlandic Glacial Outwash Plains

Devis Tuia, Julia Schmale, Nora Bergner, Ianina Altshuler, Gaston Jean Lenczner, Grace Emma Marsh

Warming in the Arctic is occurring at an accelerated rate compared to the rest of the world which is partially driven by ecological and climatic feedback loops. Accelerated glacial and ice sheet retreat in Greenland drives increased development of glacial ...

Data set of dissolved major and trace elements from the lacustrine systems of Clearwater Mesa, Antarctica

Tyler Joe Kohler

This article presents analytical observations on physicochemical parameters and major and trace element concentrations of water, ice, and sediment samples from the lake systems of Clearwater Mesa (CWM), northeast Antarctic Peninsula. Geo-chemical analyses ...

Cycling of zinc and its isotopes across multiple zones of the Southern Ocean: Insights from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient, playing an important role in several key processes in marine phytoplankton. Here, we present the first high-resolution depth profiles for dissolved Zn and delta Zn-66 from all major zones of the Southern Ocean, coll ...

Importance of mixotrophic flagellates during the ice-free season in lakes located along an elevational gradient

Hannes Markus Peter

Mixotrophy seems to be widespread among phytoplankton, but whether this strategy is more relevant in oligotrophic lakes remains unclear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the relative abundance of mixotrophic flagellates in lakes increases along an eleva ...

Interplay of S and As in Mekong Delta sediments during redox oscillations

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Laurent Louis José Charlet

The cumulative effects of periodic redox cycling on the mobility of As, Fe, and S from alluvial sediment to groundwater were investigated in bioreactor experiments. Two particular sediments from the alluvial floodplain of the Mekong Delta River were invest ...

Experimental study on bedload transport, fluctuations and coupling with bedforms in steep turbulent streams.

Ivan Pascal

Sediment transport is one of the main morphodynamic processes in mountain streams. Understanding bedload transport is fundamental to prevent and mitigate hydrogeological hazards and for the resources management. The classic bedload discharge predictions ar ...

Evaluating snow weak-layer failure parameters through inverse finite element modelling of shaking-platform experiments

Johan Alexandre Philippe Gaume

Snowpack weak layers may fail due to excess stresses of various natures, caused by snowfall, skiers, explosions or strong ground motion due to earthquakes, and lead to snow avalanches. This research presents a numerical model describing the failure of "san ...

Statistical modelling of the snow depth distribution in open alpine terrain

Michael Lehning

The spatial distribution of alpine snow covers is characterised by large variability. Taking this variability into account is important for many tasks including hydrology, glaciology, ecology or natural hazards. Statistical modelling is frequently applied ...

Exopolysaccharides produced by bacteria isolated from the pelagic Southern Ocean - Role in Fe binding, chemical reactivity, and bioavailability

Enrica Alasonati

As a result of ubiquitous excretion by micro-organisms, extracellular polymeric substances are reported in high concentrations in marine systems. The majority of this material is exopolysaccharide (EPS). Despite previous studies showing that EPS can affect ...
