Iowa Population Exposures to Metals and Metalloids in Well Water
Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Previous Iowa studies suggest low levels and chronic arsenic exposures are associated with prostate cancer. The rural Iowa population heavily relies on private wells for drinking water resources and thus is vulnerable to contaminants such as heavy metals found in well water.

Injection of CO2-saturated brine in geological reservoir: a way to enhanced storage safety [PDF]
, 2016 Injection of free-phase supercritical CO2 into deep geological reservoirs is associated with risk of considerable return flows towards the land surface due to the buoyancy of CO2, which is lighter than the resident brine in the reservoir.

Climate Change and (Mal)Adaptation in Tourism‐Intensive Alpine Regions
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Tourism, especially in winter, accounts for a large share of economic income in Alpine regions. At the same time, these regions are more severely affected by climate change, leading to shorter winter seasons and reduced snow cover. This presents a pressing issue for areas reliant on income from winter tourism through activities such as skiing.

Early Neoproterozoic limestones from the Gwna Group, Anglesey [PDF]
, 1998 Limestone megaclasts up to hundreds of metres in size are present within the Gwna Group mélange, North Wales, UK. The mélange has been interpreted as part of a Peri-Gondwanan fore-arc accretionary complex although the age of deposition remains ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

Mg isotope fractionation during microbial dolomite formation in the Khor Al‐Adaid sabkha, Qatar
The Depositional RecordThe processes governing dolomite [CaMg(CO3)2] formation remain among the most debated topics in sedimentary geology. Although primary dolomite can precipitate at low temperatures in certain modern environments, its scarcity today contrasts sharply with ...

Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research, EarlyView.Key Points Low‐Mg calcite RM developed for in situ microanalysis applications in palaeoclimatology (δ18O, δ13C; Mg, Sr m/m). New data for calcite CRM IAEA‐603 (δ18O, δ13C by SIMS and GS‐IRMS; Mg m/m). No detectable IMF effect of Mg on SIMS δ18O determinations for mass fractions < 3650 μg g‐1.
