The transformation between hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) and trivalent chromium (Cr3+) has a significant impact on ecosystems, as Cr6+ has higher levels of toxicity than Cr3+.

Porosity measurements of interstellar ice mixtures using optical laser interference and extended effective medium approximations [PDF]
Aims. This article aims to provide an alternative method of measuring the porosity of multi-phase composite ices from their refractive indices and of characterising how the abundance of a premixed contaminant (e.g., CO2) affects the porosity of water ...

Brief Communication: Ikaite (CaCO3·6H2O) discovered in Arctic sea ice [PDF]
We report for the first time on the discovery of calcium carbonate crystals as ikaite (CaCO3·6H2O) in sea ice from the Arctic (Kongsfjorden, Svalbard) as confirmed by morphology and indirectly by X-ray diffraction as well as XANES spectroscopy of ...

Gridmapping the northern plains of Mars: Geomorphological, Radar and Water-Equivalent Hydrogen results from Arcadia Plantia [PDF]
A project of mapping ice-related landforms was undertaken to understand the role of sub-surface ice in the northern plains. This work is the first continuous regional mapping from CTX (“ConTeXt Camera”, 6 m/pixel; Malin et al., 2007) imagery in Arcadia ...

Two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy of neat ice Ih [PDF]
The OH stretch line shape of ice Ih exhibits distinct peaks, the assignment of which remains controversial. We address this longstanding question using two dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy of the OH stretch of H(2)O and the OD stretch of D(2)O of ice Ih at T = 80 K.

CO ice photodesorption: A wavelength-dependent study [PDF]
UV-induced photodesorption of ice is a non-thermal evaporation process that can explain the presence of cold molecular gas in a range of interstellar regions.

Investigation of HNCO isomers formation in ice mantles by UV and thermal processing: an experimental approach [PDF]
Current gas phase models do not account for the abundances of HNCO isomers detected in various environments, suggesting a formation in icy grain mantles.

CO$_2$ Infrared Phonon Modes in Interstellar Ice Mixtures
CO$_2$ ice is an important reservoir of carbon and oxygen in star and planet forming regions. Together with water and CO, CO$_2$ sets the physical and chemical characteristics of interstellar icy grain mantles, including desorption and diffusion energies

Development of a Bioaerosol single particle detector (BIO IN) for the Fast Ice Nucleus CHamber FINCH [PDF]
In this work we present the setup and first tests of our new BIO IN detector. This detector was constructed to classify atmospheric ice nuclei (IN) for their biological content. It is designed to be coupled to the Fast Ice Nucleus CHamber FINCH.
