A uniform isotopic and chemical signature of dust exported from Patagonia: Rock sources and occurrence in southern environments [PDF]
Patagonia is considered to be the most important source of dust from South America that is deposited in surrounding areas, and we present here a systematic Sr and Nd isotopic study of sediment currently being exported.

Exponential increase of plastic burial in mangrove sediments as a major plastic sink
Exponentially increasing burial rates of microplastics since the 1950s confirm mangrove sediments as long-term sinks. Sequestration of plastics in sediments is considered the ultimate sink of marine plastic pollution that would justify unexpectedly low ...

Influence of sediment redox conditions on uranium mobilisation during saline intrusion [PDF]
This research was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (grant NE/C506799/1: Studentship NE/H527116/1).In the UK, several coastal nuclear sites have been identified as vulnerable to future sea level rise.

Dissolved humic substances supplied as potential enhancers of Cu, Cd, and Pb adsorption by two different mangrove sediments [PDF]
Purpose The external supply of humic substances has been recently suggested for the remediation of metal-polluted sediments; however, little is known about how to supply them and their effects on metal mobility.

Geochemistry of reduced inorganic sulfur, reactive iron, and organic carbon in fluvial and marine surface sediment in the Laizhou Bay region, China [PDF]
Understanding the geochemical cycling of sulfur in sediments is important because it can have implications for both modern environments (e.g., deterioration of water quality) and interpretation of the ancient past (e.g., sediment C/S ratios can be used ...

River history is reflected in the nature of the sediments carried and deposited over time. Using examples drawn from around the world, this account illustrates how river sediments have been used to reconstruct past environmental changes at a variety of scales in time and space. Problems arising from a patchy alluvial record and from influences external

The macroinvertebrate seedbank promotes community persistence in temporary rivers across climate zones [PDF]
1. Aquatic macroinvertebrates inhabiting temporary rivers are typically described as having low resistance to riverbed drying. However, little research has examined the ‘seedbank’ within dry riverbed sediments, which comprises aquatic life stages that ...

High Quantities of Microplastic in Arctic Deep-Sea Sediments from the HAUSGARTEN Observatory.
Although mounting evidence suggests the ubiquity of microplastic in aquatic ecosystems worldwide, our knowledge of its distribution in remote environments such as Polar Regions and the deep sea is scarce.
