Much progress has been made since the first published studies of tsunami deposits nearly
30 years ago. Geochemistry is now a much more widely used proxy in tsunami research …

Coastal and estuarine ecosystems provide habitats for many organisms. Recently, the
estuaries and coastal areas of the East Coast of Bangladesh have become heavily …

Standardizing the signature of tsunami deposits has been identified as a major limitation for
the identification of paleo-tsunami deposits. This limitation mostly arises from the strongly …

The variation in physicochemical properties is a notable feature to identify hydrodynamic
and biogeochemical processes in coastal aquatic systems. In this study, the spatial and …

Monitoring the environmental exposure of wildlife to toxic trace elements is important for
conservation. Sri Lanka does not have a biomonitoring programme for exposure of wildlife to …

Landfill leachate poses environmental threats worldwide and causes severe issues on
adjacent water bodies and soil by direct discharge. The primary objective of this study is to …

High contents of fluoride in groundwater are a controversial issue in the dry zone of Sri
Lanka. This study describes the geochemistry of residual soils from relatively fluoride-rich (< …

We present a viewpoint regarding the prospects in Sri Lanka (a tropical island nation) to
depend on mangroves in the remediation of heavy metal laden coastal environments. Sri …

Beach placers are typically rich in heavy minerals, which are crucial for a wide range of
industrial applications. This study investigates the human and environmental risks posed by …

The present paper is the first documentation of distribution and contamination status of
environmentally important elements of superficial sediments in the Batticaloa lagoon that is …
