Mixed response of trace element concentrations in fluvial sediments to a flash flood in a former mining area
BackgroundFloods, especially flash floods, are the major transporting agent for fluvial sediments, whose pollution is a global concern. As floods...

Remote sensing monitoring of mining tailings in the fluvial-estuarine-coastal ocean continuum of the Lower Doce River Valley (Brazil)
Water clarity is a key parameter of aquatic ecosystems impacted by mining tailings. Tracking down tailings dispersion along the river basin requires...

Iron from Lignite Mining Increases Phosphorus Fixation in Sediments, but Does Not Affect Trophic States of Lakes Along River Spree (Germany)
To mitigate lake eutrophication, phosphorus (P) availability can be managed by iron (Fe) amendments, which bind P in the water column and settle as...

Geochemical signature of the bed sediments at the outlet of the Ibrahim River (Lebanon): temporal variation
Bed sediments were collected monthly at the outlet of the Ibrahim River between May 2016 and July 2017. Their physical and chemical characteristics...

Mobilisation of Cd, Mn, and Zn in floodplains by action of plants and its consequences for spreading historical contamination and fluvial geochemistry
Cadmium, Mn, and Zn are mobilised by plants commonly growing in floodplains, most notably willows ( Salix ) and alder ( Alnus ). These plants accumulate...

Textural characteristics and abundance of microplastics in Tecolutla beach sediments, Gulf of Mexico
Abundance of microplastics in coastal sediments is considered an emerging pollution problem worldwide. In Mexico, studies focused on microplastics in...

Microplastics: What Can We Learn from Clastic Sediments?
Microplastics research has gained momentum in the 21st century but lags behind the long-standing research on clastic sediment. An interdisciplinary...

Heavy Mineral Assemblages and FT-IR Studies of Core Sediments from Arasalar River, Karaikkal, Pondichery Union Territory, India: A Tributary of Cauvery River
The texture of sediments can reveal the source of evolution in river environments. This research was principally conducted to infer the source of the...
