Effects of dam construction and increasing pollutants on the ecohydrological evolution of a shallow freshwater lake in the Yangtze floodplain (2017)
Journal Article
Zeng, L., McGowan, S., Cao, Y., & Chen, X. (2018). Effects of dam construction and increasing pollutants on the ecohydrological evolution of a shallow freshwater lake in the Yangtze floodplain. Science of the Total Environment, 621, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.11.181

Large river-floodplain systems which provide a variety of societal, economic and biological benefits are undergoing extensive and intensive human disturbance. However, floodplain lakes responses to multiple stressors are poorly understood. The Yangtz...

Changes in carbon and nitrogen cycling in a floodplain lake over recent decades linked to littoral expansion, declining riverine influx, and eutrophication (2017)
Journal Article
Chen, X., McGowan, S., Zeng, L., Xu, L., & Yang, X. (2017). Changes in carbon and nitrogen cycling in a floodplain lake over recent decades linked to littoral expansion, declining riverine influx, and eutrophication. Hydrological Processes, 31(17), https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.11254

This study aimed to understand changes in the biogeochemical processing of organic matter (OM) in response to multiple stressors (e.g., littoral area expansion, wastewater input, and hydrological regulation) in East Dongting Lake (Central China) over...

Functional attributes of epilithic diatoms for palaeoenvironmental interpretations in South-West Greenland lakes (2017)
Journal Article
McGowan, S., Gunn, H. V., Whiteford, E. J., Anderson, N. J., Jones, V. J., & Law, A. C. (in press). Functional attributes of epilithic diatoms for palaeoenvironmental interpretations in South-West Greenland lakes. Journal of Paleolimnology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-017-9968-9

Benthic diatoms are commonly used for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction in Arctic regions, but interpretation of their ecology remains challenging. We studied epilithic diatom assemblages from the shallow margins of 19 lakes from three areas (coast-...

The Arctic in the twenty-first century: changing biogeochemical linkages across a paraglacial landscape of Greenland (2017)
Journal Article
Anderson, N. J., Saros, J. E., Bullard, J. E., Cahoon, S. M., McGowan, S., Bagshaw, E. A., …Yde, J. C. (in press). The Arctic in the twenty-first century: changing biogeochemical linkages across a paraglacial landscape of Greenland. Bioscience, 67(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biw158

The Kangerlussuaq area of southwest Greenland encompasses diverse ecological, geomorphic, and climate gradients that function over a range of spatial and temporal scales. Ecosystems range from the microbial communities on the ice sheet and moisture-s...
