Synthesis Report on the Environmental Impacts of Polar Research and Logistics in the Polar Regions

Jérôme Chappellaz

Polar sciences are crucial to understand the effects of climate change. 6 out of 9 eco-tipping points identified by the IPCC are situated in the polar regions. Potential rising sea levels, altered weather patterns and changes in sea-currents are all connec ...

An evaluation of new particle formation events in Helsinki during a Baltic Sea cyanobacterial summer bloom

Lubna Dada

Several studies have investigated new particle formation (NPF) events from various sites ranging from pristine locations, including forest sites, to urban areas. However, there is still a dearth of studies investigating NPF processes and subsequent aerosol ...

Surface water and groundwater interactions in salt marshes and their impact on plant ecology and coastal biogeochemistry

David Andrew Barry

Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as efficient carbon sinks. However, about half of these wetlands have been los ...

Mercury isotope evidence for Arctic summertime re-emission of mercury from the cryosphere

Jakob Boyd Pernov

During Arctic springtime, halogen radicals oxidize atmospheric elemental mercury (Hg0), which deposits to the cryosphere. This is followed by a summertime atmospheric Hg0 peak that is thought to resultmostly fromterrestrial Hg inputs to the ArcticOcean, fo ...

The microbiome of cryospheric ecosystems

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Tyler Joe Kohler, Susheel Bhanu Busi, Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Stylianos Fodelianakis, Massimo Bourquin, Leïla Ezzat

The cryosphere includes those parts of Earth where water or soil is frozen, such as snow, ice, glaciers and permafrost soils. Here, the authors present a global inventory of cryospheric microbial communities and their genetic repertoires. ...

Size-resolved aerosol pH over Europe during summer

Athanasios Nenes

The dependence of aerosol acidity on particle size, location, and altitude over Europe during a summertime period is investigated using the hybrid version of aerosol dynamics in the chemical transport model PMCAMx. The pH changes more with particle size in ...

Temperature of artificial freshwater recharge significantly affects salinity distributions in coastal confined aquifers

David Andrew Barry, Li Pu

Artificial freshwater recharge is commonly used to mitigate seawater intrusion and restore salinized aquifers in coastal zones. While the temperature of recharged freshwater often differs from that of aquifers, effects of temperature differences on water f ...

Viral Metagenomic Content Reflects Seawater Ecological Quality in the Coastal Zone

Grégoire Marie Octave Edouard Michoud, Stylianos Fodelianakis

Viruses interfere with their host's metabolism through the expression of auxiliary metabolic genes (AMGs) that, until now, are mostly studied under large physicochemical gradients. Here, we focus on coastal marine ecosystems and we sequence the viral metag ...

Tree growth, transpiration, and water-use efficiency between shoreline and upland red maple (Acer rubrum) trees in a coastal forest

Charlotte Grossiord

Coastal shoreline forests are vulnerable to seawater exposure, the impacts of which will increase due to sea-level rise, but the long-term adaptation strategies and vulnerability of coastal forests are not well understood. We used whole-tree transpiration, ...

Forces on buildings with openings and orientation in a steady post-tsunami free-surface flow

Anton Schleiss, Michael Pfister, Davide Wüthrich

Steady free-surface flows around buildings occurring during flood or tsunami events can produce major damages and a quantification of the post-peak forces is essential for safety and resilience of coastal structures. The loading process is highly affected ...
