Distribution of Pb, Sr, and U isotopic signature and multielement composition of sediment in Lake Balaton (Hungary) at a sediment trap deep dredged 40 years ago near Balatongyörök—search for routes of recent pollution
We studied the Pb, Sr, and U isotopic composition and the concentration of toxic metal elements in sediment core samples collected in Lake Balaton at...

Increasing Salt Marsh Elevation Using Sediment Augmentation: Critical Insights from Surface Sediments and Sediment Cores
Sea-level rise is particularly concerning for tidal wetlands that reside within an area with steep topography or are constrained by human development...

Characterizing Spatial and Temporal Trends in Net Sediment Accumulation in Seagrass Meadows
Seagrass meadows are known as hot spots for carbon accumulation, but there is limited field data on the variability of sediment accumulation across...

Assessment of Dam Sediment and Grab Samples for Metal Contamination in a Historically Industrialized New England City
Freshwater systems are impacted by dams, which disrupt river flows, alter sediment dynamics, and store pollutants bound to sediments. Dams...

Sediment and Nutrient Trap** by River Dams: A Critical Review Based on 15-Year Big Data
Purpose of ReviewFree-flowing rivers act as conduits for sediment and nutrient transport from the land to coastal oceans. In the past decades, many...

The Influence of River Plume Discharge and Winds on Sediment Transport into a Coastal Mangrove Environment
We investigate how the physical forcing factors of river discharge and winds affect sediment delivery to, and retention within, mangrove-lined...

Potentially Toxic Elements’ Accumulation in Relation to Sediment Physicochemical Attributes and Microplastic Content in Zayandeh-Rood River, Iran
Microplastics (MPs) are an emerging pollutant whose ability to adsorb potentially toxic elements (PTEs) poses a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems,...

Marine sediment as a likely source of methyl and ethyl iodides in subpolar and polar seas
The surface ocean is an important source of longer-lived volatile organic iodine compounds, such as methyl and ethyl iodide. However, their...

Relationship between morphology and sediment transport in a canyon river channel, Southern Brazil
PurposeMountain rivers differ from alluvial rivers due to their morphology and hydraulic characteristics. Within various types of mountain rivers,...

A trade-off in activated biochar cap** of complex sediment contamination: reduced PAH transport at the cost of potential As mobilisation
PurposeThe effect of thin-layer cap** with activated biochar on sediment-to-water flux was investigated. For the first time, the diffusion of both...
