Contaminant profiles in sediment cores represent valuable natural archives of
environmental contamination, by which contaminant sources and historical changes in …

Assessment of environmental controls and natural variability of shell chemistry is inevitable
to understand the future of marine calcifiers functioning under the climate change and …

Tidewater glaciers supply large amounts of suspended particulate matter (SPM) and
