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....

The sediment record of the past 200 years in a Swiss high-alpine lake: Hagelseewli (2339 m a.s.l.)
Sediment cores spanning the last two centuries were taken in Hagelseewli, a high-elevation lake in the Swiss Alps. Contiguous 0.5 cm samples were analysed for biological remains, including diatoms, chironomids...

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...

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 ...
