Abstract:

The profundal sediment of many lakes is contaminated by heavy metals and persistent organic pollutants (POPs) deposited from the atmosphere, yet there has been little assessment of the biological effects of these toxicants. A Tier I sediment ecological risk assessment of profundal lake sediment that covers the range of contamination in the UK and Ireland was completed. Three laboratory sediment bioassays were used, Daphnia magna 7-day survival and reproduction, Gammarus pulex 14-day survival and growth and Chironomus riparius 10-day survival and growth/reproduction, and the concentrations of s

Macrofossil and pollen evidence indicate that a forest-tundra including abundant juniper and spruce krummholz had developed 300-600 years after deglaciation.

Abstract:

Varved (annually laminated) sediments are of great interest for inference of past environmental conditions, as they provide dated records with high time resolution. After deposition, the sediment varves are affected by diagenesis; i.e., chemical, physical and biological changes that occur within the sediment. An important premise when reconstructing past environmental conditions using lake sediments is that the signal of interest is preserved in the sediment. In this thesis I have used a unique collection of ten stored freeze cores of varved lake sediment from Nylandssjön in northern Sweden, c

Abstract:

Geochemical exploration methods are able to contribute significantly to the detection of concealed Au mineralization in glaciated terrains. Gold analyses of lake sediments from the glaciated Canadian Shield have been used since the mid-1980s to explore for Au mineralization. For lake sediments to be an effective indicator of Au mineralization, the element must migrate in solution or adsorbed on suspensates in the boreal forest zone where low relief and disorganized drainage restricts dispersal and concentration in clastic form. Organic-rich profundal lake sediments often contain anomalous Au c

Abstract:

Hypotheses regarding the distribution, texture and trace element concentrations of lake sediments were tested by empirical analyses of multi-lake data sets (52 to 83 lakes). Sediment distribution was best characterized by the deposition boundary depth (DBD), the abrupt transition from coarse- to fine-grained sediments. The DBD can now be predicted from either empirical models or empirical-theoretical simplifications of wave of sediment threshold theory, both in terms of exposure (or fetch) and bottom slope.

Abstract:

Inland waters process large amounts of organic carbon, contributing to CO2 and CH4 emissions, as well as storing organic carbon (OC) over geological timescales. Recently, it has been shown that the magnitude of these processes is of global significance. It is therefore important to understand what regulates OC cycling in inland waters and how is that affected by climate change. This thesis investigates the constraints on microbial processing of sediment OC, as a key factor of the carbon cycling in boreal lakes.

Missisquoi Bay, Lake Champlain is a eutrophic, northern shallow freshwater bay that experiences toxic cyanobacteria blooms during the summer months, largely as result of high nutrient (P and N) loading from the agricultural watershed. The sediments, which contain minerals that readily sorb P, can act as a sink or source of water column nutrients. Phosphorus, both inorganic and some organic forms, sorbs to metal oxides at neutral pH in the sediment, thus P release into overlying and pore water can be significantly affected by the reduction and subsequent solubilization of these oxides.

Using this correction factor, it was found that sediment bacterial biomass in 22 lakes was positively related to an indicator of the rate of allochthonous organic matter input to lakes.

Abstract:

Sediments recovered in October 2003 from Lake Monroe, a hypereutrophic lake in central Florida, have been sub-sampled and analyzed for δ13C, δ15N, TC, TIC, TOC, and TN. A chronology of bulk sediment and nutrient accumulation was established by radiometric analyses (210Pb, 137Cs, and 14C), to aid in evaluating spatial and temporal patterns within the lake since development in the watershed began. A continuous 100- year sediment record from Lake Monroe shows significant changes in production, sedimentation, and nutrient abundance following land settlement in the mid 1800's.
