Spatial Variability of Turbulent Mixing From an Underwater Glider in a Large, Deep, Stratified Lake

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Sébastien Lavanchy, Oscar Rodrigo Sepúlveda Steiner, Bieito Fernandez Castro, Alexander Lebaron Forrest

Recent efforts using microstructure turbulence measurements have contributed to our understanding of the overall energy budget in lakes and linkages to vertical fluxes. A paucity of lake-wide turbulence measurements hinders our ability to assess how repres ...

Crack tip kinematics reveal the process zone structure in brittle fracture

John Martin Kolinski, Chenzhuo Li, Xinyue Wei

When brittle hydrogels fail, several mechanisms conspire to alter the state of stress near the tip of a crack, and it is challenging to identify which mechanism is dominant. In the fracture of brittle solids, a sufficient far-field stress results in the co ...

Quasi-static crack front deformations in cohesive materials

Jean-François Molinari, Thibault Didier Roch, Mathias Alexandre David Lebihain

When a crack interacts with material heterogeneities, its front distorts and adopts complex tortuous configurations that are reminiscent of the energy barriers encountered during crack propagation. As such, the study of crack front deformations is key to r ...

Elucidating the present-day chemical composition, seasonality and source regions of climate-relevant aerosols across the Arctic land surface

Julia Schmale, Imad El Haddad

The Arctic is warming two to three times faster than the global average, and the role of aerosols is not well constrained. Aerosol number concentrations can be very low in remote environments, rendering local cloud radiative properties highly sensitive to ...

Fine-scale dynamics of calcite precipitation in a large hardwater lake

Pascal Perolo

In hardwater lakes, calcite precipitation is an important yet poorly understood process in the lacustrine carbon cycle, in which catchment-derived alkalinity (Alk) is both transformed and translocated. While the physico-chemical conditions supporting the s ...

Towards an improved understanding of biogeochemical processes across surface-groundwater interactions in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams

Luis Gómez Gener, Oleksandra Shumilova

Surface-groundwater interactions in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), waterways which do not flow year-round, are spatially and temporally dynamic because of alternations between flowing, non-flowing and dry hydrological states. Interaction ...

Hydrology controls the carbon mass balance of a mountain lake in the eastern European Alps

Tom Ian Battin

Lakes and streams in mountain regions are important contributors to carbon (C) fluxes. However, detailed carbon balances of the stream‐lake continuum are rare. Combining eddy covariance (EC) measurements of lake‐atmosphere net ecosystem CO2 exchange with m ...

Quantifying organic matter and functional groups in particulate matter filter samples from the southeastern United States - Part 2: Spatiotemporal trends

Satoshi Takahama

Organic species within atmospheric particles vary widely in molecular structure. The variety of molecules that comprise the aerosol make it rich in information about its sources and chemical life cycle but also make particulate organic matter (OM) difficul ...

Estimating mean molecular weight, carbon number, and OM∕OC with mid-infrared spectroscopy in organic particulate matter samples from a monitoring network

Satoshi Takahama, Amir Yazdani

Organic matter (OM) is a major constituent of fine particulate matter, which contributes significantly to degradation of visibility and radiative forcing, and causes adverse health effects. However, due to its sheer compositional complexity, OM is difficul ...

Changing nutrient cycling in Lake Baikal, the world's oldest lake

Sebastiano Piccolroaz

Lake Baikal, lying in a rift zone in southeastern Siberia, is the world's oldest, deepest, and most voluminous lake that began to form over 30 million years ago. Cited as the "most outstanding example of a freshwater ecosystem" and designated a World Herit ...

Patterns in Microbial Assemblages Exported From the Meltwater of Arctic and Sub-Arctic Glaciers

Tyler Joe Kohler

Meltwater streams connect the glacial cryosphere with downstream ecosystems. Dissolved and particulate matter exported from glacial ecosystems originates from contrasting supraglacial and subglacial environments, and exported microbial cells have the poten ...

Cycling of zinc and its isotopes across multiple zones of the Southern Ocean: Insights from the Antarctic Circumnavigation Expedition

Christel Sybille Hassler

Zinc (Zn) is an essential micronutrient, playing an important role in several key processes in marine phytoplankton. Here, we present the first high-resolution depth profiles for dissolved Zn and delta Zn-66 from all major zones of the Southern Ocean, coll ...

Implications of river intrusion and convective mixing on the spatial and temporal variability of under-ice CO2

Damien Bouffard, Natacha Tofield-Pasche

Ice-covered periods might significantly contribute to lake emissions at ice-melt, yet a comprehensive understanding of under-ice carbon dioxide (CO2) dynamics is still lacking. This study investigated the processes driving spatiotemporal patterns of under- ...

Lateral variations and vertical structure of the microbial methane cycle in the sediment of Lake Onego (Russia)

Natacha Tofield-Pasche, Nathalie Dubois

The significance of methane production by lakes to the global production of greenhouse gas is well acknowledged while underlying processes sustaining the lacustrine methane budget remain largely unknown. We coupled biogeochemical data to functional and phy ...

Microbial communities associated with uranium in-situ recovery mining process are related to acid mine drainage assemblages

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Pierre Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Thomas Coral

A large fraction (47%) of the world's uranium is mined by a technique called “In Situ Recovery” (ISR). This mining technique involves the injection of a leaching fluid (acidic or alkaline) into a uranium-bearing aquifer and the pumping of the resulting sol ...

Scaling of dissolved organic carbon removal in river networks

Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo

Streams and rivers play a major role in the global carbon cycle as they collect, transform and deliver terrestrial organic carbon to the ocean. The rate of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal depends on hydrological factors (primarily water depth and re ...

Identification of above-zone pressure perturbations caused by leakage from those induced by deformation

Victor Vilarrasa Riano

Pressure changes in the above zone, i.e., the overlying aquifer of an injection zone separated by a sealing caprock, are usually attributed to leakage through wells. However, pressure changes can be induced geomechanically due to rock deformation without a ...

Dam tailwaters compound the effects of reservoirs on the longitudinal transport of organic carbon in an arid river

Amber Joy Ulseth

Reservoirs on rivers can disrupt organic carbon (OC) transport and transformation, but less is known how river reaches directly below dams contribute to OC processing. We compared how reservoirs and their associated tailwaters affected OC quantity and qual ...

Bulk velocity measurements by video analysis of dye tracer in a macro-rough channel

Anton Schleiss, Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Tamara Ghilardi

Steep mountain rivers have hydraulic and morphodynamic characteristics that hinder velocity measurements. The high spatial variability of hydraulic parameters, such as water depth (WD), river width and flow velocity, makes the choice of a representative cr ...
