Environmental change and atmospheric contamination on Svalbard: sediment chronology*
Sediment cores collected from eight lakes along the western coast of Svalbard as part of a project investigating atmospheric pollution and environmental change in Arctic regions were dated radiometrically using natural (Pb) and artificial (Cs and Am) fallout radionuclides. At four sites the sedimentation rates were relatively uniform, and in consequence the Pb dates were relatively unambiguous....
متن کاملRecent environmental change and atmospheric contamination on Svalbard as recorded in lake sediments – an introduction*
This paper outlines an interdisciplinary project on recent environmental change and atmospheric contamination on the high Arctic archipelago of Svalbard (76o30'N – 80o30'N). It describes the rationale and aims of the project and summarises the location, climate, geology, vegetation, and land-use of Svalbard. Introduction The Arctic constitutes a unique and important environment with a significa...
متن کاملRecent environmental change and human impact on Svalbard: the lake-sediment geochemical record *
As part of a broader investigation into recent environmental change on Svalbard, the inorganic geochemical record of six lake-sediment cores was analysed. The major temporal trends in sediment elemental composition are driven by variations in two contrasting sediment components, both derived from catchment soils: (1) mineral matter, and (2) soil organic matter (SOM), enriched in Fe and Mn oxide...
متن کاملAtmospheric noble gases in lake sediment pore water as proxies for environmental change
[1] Lake sediment pore water has been proposed as a noble gas archive for paleoenvironmental reconstruction, but appropriate experimental techniques have not been available until recently. Here we present noble gas concentrations measured in the sediment pore water of Lake Issyk-Kul (Kyrgyzstan) which demonstrate for the first time the value of the sediment pore water archive for paleoclimate r...
