In support of international efforts to reduce mercury (Hg) exposure in humans and wildlife,
this paper reviews the literature concerning global Hg emissions, cycling and fate, and …

Lead (Pb) isotopic analyses proved to be a very efficient tool for tracing the sources of local
and global Pb pollution. This review presents an overview of literature published on the use …

The term Anthropocene initially emerged from the Earth System science community in the
early 2000s, denoting a concept that the Holocene Epoch has terminated as a consequence …

Lead pollution in Arctic ice reflects midlatitude emissions from ancient lead–silver mining
and smelting. The few reported measurements have been extrapolated to infer the …

It was discovered in 1995 that, during the spring time, unexpectedly low concentrations of
gaseous elemental mercury (GEM) occurred in the Arctic air. This was surprising for a …

Environmental archives offer an opportunity to reconstruct temporal trends in atmospheric
Hg deposition at various timescales. Lake sediment and peat have been the most widely …

Although much has been written on the subject of ancient Mediterranean harbours, the
relatively new area of harbour geoarchaeology remains dispersed in the geoscience and …

Historical records of mercury (Hg) accumulation in lake sediments and peat bogs are often
used to estimate human impacts on the biogeochemical cycling of mercury. On the basis of …

Peat, especially from acidic mires (bogs), is a natural archive of past environmental change.
Reconstructions of past climate from bogs commenced in the 19th Century through …

Climate warming in the 20th Century has had profound effects on the limnology of High
Arctic lakes, including substantial increases in autochthonous primary productivity (APP) …
