Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021 Cryogenic weathering is a key driver of periglacial sediment composition and properties. Selective mineral-grain weathering caused by freeze-thaw cycles in permafrost environments has the ability to dominate this process, leading to silt-rich grain-size ...

Deep ice as a geochemical reactor: insights from iron speciation and mineralogy of dust in the Talos Dome ice core (East Antarctica) [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2021 Thanks to its insolubility, mineral dust is considered a stable proxy in polar ice cores. With this study we show that the Talos Dome ice core (TALDICE, Ross Sea sector of East Antarctica) displays evident and progressive signs of post-depositional ...

Seasonality of isotopic and chemical composition of snowpack in the vicinity of Jang Bogo Station, East Antarctica [PDF]
Polish Polar Research, 2021 Seasonal variations of the isotopic and chemical compositions of snowpits can provide useful tools for dating the age of the snowpit and examining the sources of aerosol.

A note on handaxe knapping products and their breakage taphonomy: an experimental view
Journal of Lithic Studies, 2015 The notion that broken artifacts provide a good indication of the taphonomic history of lithic assemblages is commonly accepted in prehistoric archaeology.

Sediment management and the renewability of floodplain clay for structural ceramics [PDF]
, 2009 The Netherlands has vast resources of clay that are exploited for the fabrication of structural ceramic products such as bricks and roof tiles. Most clay is extracted from the so-called embanked floodplains along the rivers Rhine and Meuse, areas that ...

Post-Depositional Biodegradation Processes of Pollutants on Glacier Surfaces [PDF]
Condensed Matter, 2018 Glaciers are important fresh-water reservoirs for our planet. Although they are often located at high elevations or in remote areas, glacial ecosystems are not pristine, as many pollutants can undergo long-range atmospheric transport and be deposited on glacier surface, where they can be stored for long periods of time, and then be released into the ...
