A Geochemical Overview of Mid-Archaean Metavolcanic Rocks from Southwest Greenland

Geosciences, 2018
The present contribution reviews bulk-rock geochemical data for mid-Archaean (ca. 3075–2840 Ma) metavolcanic rocks from the North Atlantic Craton of southwest Greenland.

Reactive infiltration instability amplifies the difference between geometric and reactive surface areas in natural porous materials

, 2017
Reactive infiltration instability (RII) drives the development of many natural and engineered flow systems. These are encountered e.g. in hydraulic fracturing, geologic carbon storage and well stimulation in enhanced oil recovery. The surface area of the

Using Fine Sediment Monitoring to Quantify Sand Loading Over Time

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverine sand loading can lead to geomorphic change, impacting river processes like lateral migration and vertical aggradation or degradation. Yet many sediment monitoring programs track only fine sediment measurable as total suspended solids (TSS). Here, we assess the ability for TSS data to be used to determine sand loading.

Illegal Gold Mining in the Brazilian Amazon: Environmental Degradation in Yanomami Indigenous Lands, and Regulatory Failures

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Illegal gold mining has emerged as a major sustainability threat in the Amazon, eroding Indigenous rights, forest integrity, and climate mitigation efforts. This study examines how international market incentives relate to the expansion of illegal mining and associated deforestation within the Yanomami Indigenous Territory (YIT) from 2008 to ...

Exploring Interactive Effects of Arsenic and Selenium Exposure on Larval Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arsenic contamination in aquatic ecosystems is a major environmental concern. Selenium (Se) helps mitigate oxidative stress and hence could reduce the toxic effects of arsenic. However, Se can also be toxic at high concentrations. Given that these metalloids commonly co‐occur in the environment, there is a pressing need for further research ...

Application of mineralogical, petrological and geochemical tools for evaluating the palaeohdrogeological evolution of the PADAMOT study sites [PDF]

, 2005
The role of Work Package (WP) 2 of the PADAMOT project – ‘Palaeohydrogeological Data Measurements’ - has been to study late-stage fracture mineral and water samples from groundwater systems in Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom and the Czech Republic, with ...

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

The pristine precursor of Andean-type magmatism preserved in magma mingling zones

Scientific Reports
Intermediate magma compositions have been postulated to be parental to Andean-type magmatism in the recent years. Geochemical and experimental methods have allowed the modelling of a hypothetical parental composition that accounts for the major element ...

Optimal timing and rate of nitrogen fertilizer use: An integrated network technology approach

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Both the rate and timing of crop fertilizer application play an important role in agricultural productivity. However, inefficient fertilizer use can significantly increase production costs, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. To capture both the spatial heterogeneity and dynamic nature of this problem, we develop a multi‐stage ...
