DOI: 10.1007/s00244-024-01110-9
Abstract: One group of elements attracting more and more attention are so-called technology-critical elements (TCEs). In comparison with legacy pollutants, the anthropogenic impact of TCEs on the environment might still be minor, but various applications introduce… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2019.03.064
Abstract: The Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP) accident in Japan resulted in a major release of radionuclides into the environment. Compared to other radionuclides, few studies have investigated the fate of actinides in the environment.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acs.est.2c04264
Abstract: The seafloor is the major sink for microplastic (MP) pollutants. However, there is a lack of robust data on the historical evolution of MP pollution in the sediment compartment, particularly the sequestration and burial rate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2022gl101599
Abstract: Hydrothermal activity on mid‐ocean ridges plays an important role in shaping marine chemistry, yet the variability of hydrothermal venting and its forcing mechanism remain elusive. Here, we analyzed a sediment core obtained near the tectonic‐controlled… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1755-0998.14035
Abstract: Chironomidae, so‐called non‐biting midges, are considered key bioindicators of aquatic ecosystem variability. Data derived from morphologically identifying their chitinous remains in sediments document chironomid larvae assemblages, which are studied to reconstruct ecosystem changes over time.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40623-023-01945-x
Abstract: Construction of regional geomagnetic secular variation curves for the last several tens of thousands of years is important for understanding the behavior of non-dipole fields and applications to geochronology. Around Japan, secular variation records of… read more here.

Diatom distribution and long-term survival in a heavily polluted sediment core from the Bay of Bagnoli (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Mediterranean Marine Science"
DOI: 10.12681/mms.37946
Abstract: Diatom resting stages can remain viable in sediments for decades and germinate when exposed to suitable environmental conditions, inoculating the water column and the surface sediments with new populations of cells. Classical methods, based on… read more here.
