Laschamp Excursion at Mono Lake?
The Laschamp Geomagnetic Excursion (ca. 41 ka) and a related increase of cosmogenic nuclides provides a global tie point among sedimentary and ice core records. In the Wilson Creek Formation, Mono Lake, California, the Laschamp Excursion has not been recognized although the so-called Mono Lake excursion was found in the section with an estimated age of about 28 14C ka. However, our reevaluation...
متن کاملAssessing Ecological Impact Assessment: Lessons from Mono Lake, California.
Because of its high salinity and alkalinity, Mono Lake, in eastern California (USA), is a relatively simple ecosystem. It has become the focus of an environmental controversy over the effects of 50 yr of diversions of water from tributary streams to supply water to Los Angeles. Diversions lowered the lake level, increased the salinity, changed the availability of aquatic habitats, and altered t...
متن کاملChitinolytic bacteria from alkaline hypersaline Mono Lake, California, USA
Chitinolytic activity was detected in sediment and water-column samples from Mono Lake, California, USA, using fluorogenic analogues. In order to learn more about chitin degradation in Mono Lake, we analyzed the phylogenetic composition of bacterial assemblages in chitin-enrichment cultures and associated with Artemia monica exuvia. We also isolated chitinolytic bacteria from aerobic and anaero...
متن کاملAge of Lake Malawi (nyasa) and Water Level Fluctuations
Lake Malawi (Nyasa) is one of the few deep-water long-lived lakes that presently exist on earth. It lies in an uncompensated tectonic graben, controlled by differential vertical movements between the rift basin who subsides and the rift shoulders who are uplifted. Active tectonics is the major factor controlling the development and persistence ofthose deep lakes. For Lake Malawi (Nyasa), climat...
متن کاملRecent water level declines in the Lake Michigan-Huron system.
Great Lakes water levels have fluctuated over thousands of years. High water levels were a problem in the 1980s, but a recent sudden drop in Lakes Michigan and Huron has caused particular concern, in part because lower water levels are consistent with many global climate change scenarios. We examined water level data (1860-2006) representing Lakes Michigan and Huron to evaluate changes in both ...
