متن کاملSpatial distribution of mercury in southeastern Alaskan streams influenced by glaciers, wetlands, and salmon.
Southeastern Alaska is a remote coastal-maritime ecosystem that is experiencing increased deposition of mercury (Hg) as well as rapid glacier loss. Here we present the results of the first reported survey of total and methyl Hg (MeHg) concentrations in regional streams and biota. Overall, streams draining large wetland areas had higher Hg concentrations in water, mayflies, and juvenile salmon t...
متن کاملAs climate changes, so do glaciers.
Understanding abrupt climate changes requires detailed spatial/temporal records of such changes, and to make these records, we need rapidly responding, geographically widespread climate trackers. Glacial systems are such trackers, and recent additions to the stratigraphic record show overall synchronous response of glacial systems to climate change reflecting global atmosphere conditions.
متن کاملX-ray Imaging of the Aps Storage Ring Beam Stability Effects: from the Alaskan Earthquake To.undulator Field Changes*
The Advanced Photon Source (APS) 7-GeV storage ring serves as a national x-ray synchrotron radiation user facility. The stability and beam quality of the electron beam, and hence the photon beams, are monitored continuously by an array of diagnostics. In particular, xray imaging techniques are employed in the diagnostics sector of the ring to characterize beam position, size, and emittance. The...
متن کاملRapid changes in ice discharge from Greenland outlet glaciers.
Using satellite-derived surface elevation and velocity data, we found major short-term variations in recent ice discharge and mass loss at two of Greenland's largest outlet glaciers. Their combined rate of mass loss doubled in less than a year in 2004 and then decreased in 2006 to near the previous rates, likely as a result of fast re-equilibration of calving-front geometry after retreat. Total...
