In our modern economy, tantalum has become a 'technology-critical element'which is
increasingly used in new technologies. This has led to a need to evaluate potential …

The input of mineral dust from arid regions impacts snow optical properties. The induced
albedo reduction generally alters the melting dynamics of the snowpack, resulting in earlier …

This is the 32nd annual review of the application of atomic spectrometry to the chemical
analysis of environmental samples. This update refers to papers published approximately …

Cryoconite, the typical sediment found on the surface of glaciers, is mainly known in relation
to its role in glacial microbiology and in altering the glacier albedo. But if these aspects are …

Antarctic trace element records could provide important insights into the impact of human
activities on the environment over the past few centuries. In this study, we investigated the …

Driven by the motivation to quantitively control and monitor trace metal ions in water, the
development of environmental-friendly electrodes with superior detection sensitivity is …

Abstract A new 1, 8-naphthalimide derivative (NAD) was synthesized and employed as a
highly sensitive and selective probe for the detection of cysteine (Cys) and Cu 2+. The …

Mineral dust is transported in the atmosphere and deposited in oceans, ice sheets and the
terrestrial biosphere. Temporal changes in locations of dust source areas and transport …

The possibility of finding a stratigraphically intact ice sequence with a potential basal age
exceeding one million years in Antarctica is giving renewed interest to deep ice coring …

Paleoclimatic information recorded in polar and mountain glaciers is fundamental to study
climate and environmental changes. New advanced techniques can be developed to …
