Increasing salt production and use is shifting the natural balances of salt ions across Earth
systems, causing interrelated effects across biophysical systems collectively known as …

Salt pollution and human-accelerated weathering are shifting the chemical composition of
major ions in fresh water and increasing salinization and alkalinization across North …

Global carbon dioxide (CO2) evasion from inland waters (rivers, lakes, and reservoirs) and
carbon (C) export from land to oceans constitute critical terms in the global C budget …

Corrosion in water-distribution systems is a costly problem and controlling corrosion is a
primary focus of efforts to reduce lead (Pb) and copper (Cu) in tap water. High chloride …

Widespread changes in water temperatures, salinity, alkalinity and pH have been
documented in inland waters in North America, which influence ion exchange, weathering …

Multiple processes support the significant efflux of carbon dioxide (CO2) from rivers and
streams. Attribution of CO2 oversaturation will lead to better quantification of the freshwater …

Bicarbonate (), the predominant form of dissolved inorganic carbon in natural waters,
originates mostly from watershed mineral weathering. On time scales of decades to …

Climate change impacts the vulnerability of drinking water sources to contamination and
water shortages. This review highlights key risk factors along the impact chain of climate …

Anthropogenic CO2 emissions currently decrease open ocean pH, but on multi‐millennial
time scales intensified continental weathering is expected to contribute to increasing …
