Mercury loading within the Selenga River basin and Lake Baikal, Siberia (2019)
Journal Article
Roberts, S., Adams, J. K., Mackay, A. W., Swann, G. E. A., McGowan, S., Rose, N. L., Panizzo, V., Yang, H., Vologina, E., Sturm, M., & Shchetnikov, A. A. (2020). Mercury loading within the Selenga River basin and Lake Baikal, Siberia. Environmental Pollution, 259, Article 113814. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2019.113814

Mercury (Hg) loading in Lake Baikal, a UNESCO world heritage site, is growing and poses a serious health concern to the lake’s ecosystem due to the ability of Hg to transform into a toxic form, known as methylmercury (MeHg). Monitoring of Hg into Lak... Read More about Mercury loading within the Selenga River basin and Lake Baikal, Siberia.

The progress of science is tied to the standardization of measurements, instruments, and data. This is especially true in the Big Data age, where analyzing large data volumes critically hinges on the data being standardized. Accordingly, the lack of...

Coupled climate and subarctic Pacific nutrient upwelling over the last 850,000 years (2019)
Journal Article
Worne, S., Kender, S., Swann, G. E., Leng, M. J., & Ravelo, A. C. (2019). Coupled climate and subarctic Pacific nutrient upwelling over the last 850,000 years. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 522, 87-97. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2019.06.028

High latitude deep water upwelling has the potential to control global climate over glacial timescales through the biological pump and ocean-atmosphere CO2 exchange. However, there is currently a lack of continuous long nutrient upwelling records wit... Read More about Coupled climate and subarctic Pacific nutrient upwelling over the last 850,000 years.
