This paper reviews the major sources and transport characteristics of heavy metals in the
hydrological cycle. It is demonstrated that heavy metal releases to the environment have …

This chapter reviews the most relevant techniques for dating lake sediments from the Arctic
and Antarctica, with specific reference to the challenges encountered in environments …

In natural waters, the sediment-water interface is the site where gradients in physical,
chemical and biological properties are the greatest. Both chemical and microbiological …

Most studies using sediment cores to reconstruct the contamination history of coastal and
estuarine areas around the world have dealt with trace metals, and only a few have focused …

A monthly trace element sampling of the lower Mississippi River, utilizing ultra-clean
methods, was conducted from October 1991 to December 1993. Dissolved concentrations …

This chapter encompasses the transformation and movement of selected trace metals,
metalloids, and radionuclides between phases and/or compartments in lakes, arising from …

Abstract 210 Pb has been used for more than two decades to provide the geochronology of
annually deposited sediments and to construct pollution histories. Evidence from some lakes …

Many salt marshes in densely populated areas have been subjected to a reduction in tidal
flow. In order to assess the impact of tidal flow restriction on marsh sedimentation processes …

We used sediment chronology data from fourteen published studies of lake cores across
much of North America and Scandinavia in order to make a large scale comparison of the …

Ultraclean methods were used to produce reliable concentration data for the trace metals
Pb, Ag, and Cd in fresh waters and for Ph, Ag, Cu, and Zn in estuarine waters. Partitioning of …
