Global biogeochemical implications of mercury discharges from rivers and sediment burial.
Rivers are an important source of mercury (Hg) to marine ecosystems. Based on an analysis of compiled observations, we estimate global present-day Hg discharges from rivers to ocean margins are 27 ± 13 Mmol a(-1) (5500 ± 2700 Mg a(-1)), of which 28% reaches the open ocean and the rest is deposited to ocean margin sediments. Globally, the source of Hg to the open ocean from rivers amounts to 30%...
متن کاملSluicing Flumes for Gauging Sediment-Laden Rivers
The sluicing flume that was designed is less capable of silting up and losing its calibration than its counterparts of standard sharp-crested compound weir design. The laboratory work described here led to a refinement in the design in the form of a short flume set into the lowest section of a compound Crump weir gauging installation. Critical flow occurs near the exit of this flume, and it is ...
متن کاملRadioecological impact from radionuclide releases into the rivers
Absract. The radiological impacts from radionuclide releases into Techa, and Yenisei Rivers in Russia are discussed. The dose assessments for human and natural biota are calculated using the methodology of multiple pathways of exposure. In the Mayak complex area the collective dose to the Techa River population during 19491956 was 6,200 man-Sv. The collective dose from radioactive discharges of...
متن کاملPractical strategies for identifying groundwater discharges into sediment and surface water with fiber optic temperature measurement.
Identifying or ruling out groundwater discharges into sediment and surface waters is often critical for evaluating impacts and for planning remedial actions. Information about subsurface structure and groundwater can be helpful, but imperfect information, heterogeneous materials, and the likelihood of preferential pathways make it difficult to locate seeps without direct seep monitoring. We pre...
متن کاملSea Seismometer Coupling on the Sediment
− We can obtain the performance of the marine seismometer upon the sediment to know its coupling in the bottom sea. This paper deals with the coupling parameters in order to obtain the geophone response through the frequency. The use of the shake table and vibration calibrator allows to deduce the coupling transfer function between the geophone and the sediment sea without using a detailed mode...
