Few studies have focused on the post-eruption evolution of maar craters and associated lake level changes, although breaching crater rim poses mass-flow flood hazards long after initial eruption. Lake Pavin is a in French Massif central formed by an eruption c. 6700 years ago. The perched edge glacially-shaped valley overlooks surrounding subdued landscape. breached to north overflow channel, s...

• Authors focus on An. arabiensis as the major malaria vector in the area. However, no data is provided regarding other potential malaria vectors that could play an important role on malaria transmission at the Gilgel-Gibe dam site, as An. funestus and An. nili species complex. Were these species collected during the two years entomological survey at all? In the conclusions, it is stated that t...

Atatürk Dam Lake, which was established on the Euphrates River for agricultural irrigation and electricity production, is largest dam lake in Turkey. Many fish species, are primary food source humans, live lake. Therefore, possible pollution this will adversely affect not only but also human health. For purpose, study, lead, cadmium, chromium, iron, zinc, copper levels were measured liver, gill...

The ubiquitous lakes across China’s Yangtze Plain (YP) are indispensable freshwater resources sustaining ecosystems and socioeconomics for nearly half a billion people. Our recent survey revealed a widespread net decline in the total YP lake inundation area during 2000–2011 (a cumulative decrease of 10%), yet its mechanism remained contentious. Here we uncover the impacts of climate variability...

The delineation of lateral and vertical gradients of organic contaminants in lakes is hampered by low concentrationsand nondetection of many organic compounds in water. Passive samplers (semipermeable membrane devices [SPMDs] and polar organic chemical integrative samplers [POCIS]) are well suited for assessing gradients because they can detect synthetic organic compounds (SOCs) at pg L(-1) con...

Pymatuning Lake, located on the Pennsylvania/Ohio border, is noted for the large numbers of bread-eating carp that frequent the Linesville Causeway "carp bowl" from May to November. Carp were trapped in 1952 and 1984 at the carp bowl, tagged, and relocated varying distances away from the bowl in Sanctuary, Middle, and Lower lakes. Carp traversed the return distances of up to 9 km in less than 4...

We used an annual time series (August 2004 until August 2005) of ENVISAT-ASAR data, supported by two ASTER scenes to investigate ice dam fluctuations and changes of the surface area of the marginal lake Grænalón. The lake occupies a lateral valley, dammed by the westernmost flow band of Skeiðarárjökull, one of the largest outlets of Vatnajökull ice cap. During the period of investigation Skeiða...
