Open AccessLandscape-Scale Variability of Organic Carbon Burial by SW Greenland Lakes
Lakes are a key feature of arctic landscapes and can be an important component of regional organic carbon (OC) budgets, but C burial rates are not well estimated. 210Pb-dated sediment cores and carbon and organic...

Evaluation of conservative lithogenic elements (Ti, Zr, Al, and Rb) to study anthropogenic element enrichments in lake sediments
In lake sediment investigations of heavy metal pollution history, it has become a common approach to calculate enrichment factors (EFs) by normalizing elemental distributions to a reference lithogenic element....

A Comparison of Sediment Varves (1950–2003 AD) in Two Adjacent Lakes in Northern Sweden
Koltjärnen and Nylandssjön are two closely situated lakes (<2 km apart) in northern Sweden. During the past century, distinct varved sediments have formed in these lakes. Nylandssjön has two varved, deep basin...

The role of pollution versus natural geological sources for lead enrichment in recent lake sediments and surface forest soils
This paper assesses the role of airborne pollution and natural geological sources for lead enrichment in lake sediments and in surface soils of boreal forests. This assessment is based on analyses of stable le...

Vertical Distribution of Atmospheric Pollution Lead in Swedish Boreal Forest Soils
In order to understand the fate of anthropogenic lead (Pb)pollution in boreal forest soils, and to predict future trends, it is important to know where in the soil the pollution Pb is accumulated and how large...

Temporal Trends in Mercury Accumulation in Lake Sediments in Sweden
Lake sediment cores were analyzedto study the history of mercury (Hg) pollution andparticularly to determine whether recent sedimentconcentrations have declined in response todeclining atmospheric deposition o...

Four thousand years of atmospheric lead pollution in northern Europe: a summary from Swedish lake sediments
This paper presents a large palaeolimnological study of the pre-industrial and industrial history of atmospheric lead pollution deposition in Sweden. Both lead concentrations and 206Pb/207Pb ratios have been anal...

Image analysis as a method to quantify sediment components
Varved lake sediments, with their annual to seasonal resolution, have a high potential for inferring past environmental and climatic conditions. To fully utilize the information present in varved records, high...

A remote controlled freeze corer for sampling unconsolidated surface sediments
A new coring device is presented which allows the recovery of loose watery surface sediments and the water/sediment interface byin situ freezing, resulting in well preserved samples. The instrument consists of a ...

Stable Isotope and Concentration Records of Atmospheric Lead Pollution in Peat and Lake Sediments in Sweden
We compare lead concentration and stable lead isotope analyses from three peat bog and three lake sediment records in Sweden. Radiocarbon dated stratigraphies give evidence that trends in the concentration of ...

Lake Sediment Records of Fossil Fuel-derived Carbonaceous Aerosols from Combustion
The ultimate value of black carbon archives in sediments as paleo-records of past combustion activities depends entirely upon our ability to accurately interpret this information and hinges upon our understand...

Recovery from acidification in Lake Örvattnet, Sweden
Lake Örvattnet has been monitored extensively for both chemical and biological variables since 1967. The lake acidified during the 1960's and pH was mostly below 5 throughout the 1970's. Due to the acidificati...

Spatial heterogeneity of diatom stratigraphy in varved and non-varved sediments of a small, boreal-forest lake
Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of recent diatom stratigraphy were assessed for a small (23 ha) dimictic lake in Northern Sweden (Kassjön). Varves are confined to water depths > 10 m. Six freeze cores were ...

Prehistoric increases in the pH of acid-sensitive Swedish lakes caused by land-use changes
IN the past few decades, there has been considerable debate about whether vegetational and soil changes associated with changing land-use can cause surface-water acidification in lakes1,2. Although it is now wide...

Spatial uniformity of sediment accumulation in varved lake sediments in northern Sweden
As part of an investigation aimed at assessing the potential of northern Swedish varved lake sediments for fine-resolution reconstruction of past climatic conditions, the following questions were addressed; ho...

Climatic Reflection in Varved Lake Sediments
The individual thicknesses of about 1300 varves (230 A.D. — 1552 A.D.) of the varved lake sediment from Lake Judesjön, N. Sweden, were measured to study short-term climatic changes. The results indicate a cycl...
