Vegetated coastal ecosystems, including tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows,
are being increasingly assessed in terms of their potential for carbon dioxide sequestration …

Sublacustrine landslide stratigraphy is considered useful for quantitative paleoseismology in
low-seismicity settings. However, as the recharging of underwater slopes with sediments is …

Spatial and temporal variations of mercury (Hg) concentrations, enrichment, and potential
ecological risks were studied in a suite of lead-210 (210 Pb) dated sediment cores from 13 …

Mercury is released to the environment from natural and anthropogenic sources, and
through atmospheric transport is distributed globally. Lake Futalaufquen (42.8° S) is an …

Coastal marshes offer natural solutions for adapting to and mitigating the effects of climate
change and sea level rise. However, the resilience of the marsh physical system and, with it …

Coastal and estuarine sediments play an important role in the biogeochemical cycle of
mercury (Hg) in the aquatic environment. When contaminated, sediments can act as a …

Paleoclimate studies in Patagonia show a high Holocene climate variability, strongly
controlled by the intensity and latitudinal position of the Southern Westerly Winds. In this …

Surface and core sediments were collected to study distributions, phases and potential
environmental risk of Hg and to reconstruct anthropogenic Hg change over the past one …

The environmental variability of Northern Chilean Patagonia during the last millennia is
evaluated using a multi-proxy analysis of sediment cores from Lake Esponja (45° S 72° W) …

We report here the results of detailed 210 Pb analysis from two lake sediment cores
collected from Lagunas Encadenadas del Oeste (LEO), located in the southern Argentinean …
