Trophic Changes off Southwest Greenland During the Holocene and Their Influence on Carbon Burial
Abstract Organic carbon (OC) burial in sediments is partly controlled by catabolic biodegradation and remineralization by heterotrophic bacteria, but long‐term records of these bacterially‐mediated processes have not been available. Here, we use stable hydrogen isotope ratio of the saturated C16 fatty acid (δ2HC16:0) as a proxy of the prevalence of ...

Atmospheric Dynamics of IR‐Active Particles Released From Mars' Surface
Abstract Surface release of radiatively active particles, with high infrared‐ (IR‐)to‐visible extinction ratios, has been proposed as a method of warming Mars. However, to warm Mars using aerosols, particles released locally must disperse globally. Here we provide an initial reference study in a plume tracking, dry Martian atmospheric model to address ...

Economic Incentives for Controlling Trade-Related Biological Invasions in the Great Lakes [PDF]
Ballast water from commercial ships engaged in international trade has been implicated as the primary invasion pathway in over 60 percent of new introductions of invasive alien species (IAS) in the Great Lakes since 1960.
