Predicting climate-change impacts on the global glacier-fed stream microbiome

Vincent Henri De Staercke, Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Matteo Tolosano, Tyler Joe Kohler, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Massimo Bourquin, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Andrew Lean Robison

The shrinkage of glaciers and the vanishing of glacier-fed streams (GFSs) are emblematic of climate change. However, forecasts of how GFS microbiome structure and function will change under projected climate change scenarios are lacking. Combining 2,333 pr ...

Lotic-SIPCO2: Adaptation of an open-source CO2 sensor system and examination of associated emission uncertainties across a range of stream sizes and land uses

Andrew Lean Robison

River networks play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, as relevant sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere. Advancements in high-frequency monitoring in aquatic environments have enabled measurement of dissolved CO2 concentration at tempo ...

Glacier loss and vegetation expansion alter organic and inorganic carbon dynamics in high-mountain streams

Nicola Deluigi, Tom Ian Battin, Camille Aude Rolland, Andrew Lean Robison

High-mountain ecosystems are experiencing the acute effects of climate change, most visibly through glacier recession and the greening of theterrestrial environment. The streams draining these landscapes are affected by these shifts, integrating hydrologic ...

Dominance of Diffusive Methane Emissions From Lowland Headwater Streams Promotes Oxidation and Isotopic Enrichment

Andrew Lean Robison

Inland waters are the largest natural source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, yet the contribution from small streams to this flux is not clearly defined. To fully understand CH4 emissions from streams and rivers, we must consider the relative importanc ...

Superlinear scaling of riverine biogeochemical function with watershed size

Andrew Lean Robison

River networks regulate carbon and nutrient exchange between continents, atmosphere, and oceans. However, contributions of riverine processing are poorly constrained at continental scales. Scaling relationships of cumulative biogeochemical function with wa ...

Spatial and temporal heterogeneity of methane ebullition in lowland headwater streams and the impact on sampling design

Andrew Lean Robison

Headwater streams are known sources of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, but their contribution to global scale budgets remains poorly constrained. While efforts have been made to better understand diffusive fluxes of CH4 in streams, much less attention has ...
