DOI: 10.1016/j.ecoenv.2018.09.066
Abstract: Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are entrained within glaciers globally, reemerging in many alpine ecosystems. Despite available data on POP flux from glaciers, a study of human health risk caused by POPs released in glacial meltwater… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marchem.2021.104008
Abstract: Abstract The Amundsen Sea is the most rapidly melting part of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, due to increased heat transport by Circumpolar Deep Water (CDW). Tracing CDW and resulting glacial meltwater is important since… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.0c01849
Abstract: With global warming, melting of glaciers can result in release of pollutants into the environment. For remote Alpine lakes, both atmosphere-deposited anthropogenic pollutants and glacier-released pollutants can eventually sink in the sediment. To date, there… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.1c07062
Abstract: Climate change-driven increases in air and sea temperatures are rapidly thawing the Arctic cryosphere with potential for remobilization and accumulation of legacy persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in adjacent coastal food webs. Here, we present concentrations… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2019.00144
Abstract: Warming along the Antarctic Peninsula has led to an increase in the export of glacial meltwater to the coastal ocean. While observations to date suggest that this freshwater export acts as an important forcing on… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2019.00412
Abstract: Greenland fjords receive considerable amounts of glacial meltwater discharge from the Greenland Ice Sheet due to present climate warming. This impacts the hydrography via freshening of the fjord waters and biological processes due to altered… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.805694
Abstract: Aquatic ecosystems are frequently overlooked as fungal habitats, although there is increasing evidence that their diversity and ecological importance are greater than previously considered. Aquatic fungi are critical and abundant components of nutrient cycling and… read more here.
