Paleoclimate records from the tropical Pacific suggest the early to mid-Holocene was a
period of reduced El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability, with a transition to …

Increasing anthropogenic pressures coupled with climate change impacts on natural
resources have promoted a quest for innovative tracing techniques for understanding soil …

Sequestration of plastics in sediments is considered the ultimate sink of marine plastic
pollution that would justify unexpectedly low loads found in surface waters. Here, we …

Seagrass ecosystems contain globally significant organic carbon (C) stocks. However,
climate change and increasing frequency of extreme events threaten their preservation …

The seafloor is the major sink for microplastic (MP) pollutants. However, there is a lack of
robust data on the historical evolution of MP pollution in the sediment compartment …

The paper describes a method of calculating sediment age from 210 Pb profiles where
changes in accumulation rate have affected initial 210 Pb concentration. Previously …

Environmental archives, such as sediments, banded corals and tree rings, are widely used
to reconstruct past environmental conditions of ecosystems. In particular, 210Pb has been …

Aquatic chemistry is becoming both a rewarding and substantial area of inquiry and is
drawing many prominent scientists to its fold. Its literature has changed from a compilation of …

Records stored in natural archives, such as lake sediments or peat bog accumulations, are
used in a wide range of environmental programs, for example: the assessment of changing …

This text, written by a leading researcher in the field, describes the origin and formation of
lakes in order to give context to the question of how lacustrine deposits form. It explains the …
