Pleistocene Lake Bonneville of western Utah contains a variety of spits associated with shorelines and other features that formed between 21,000 and 12,000 C yr BP. Field studies in the low-lying mountain ranges of the central portion of Lake Bonneville identified 17 spits of various types. The spits are connected to small mountain ranges and islands, vary in size from 0.02 to 0.5 km, and are c...

The compositions of archaeal and bacterial populations at different depths (60 m [mixolimnion-chemocline interface], 70 m [chemocline-subchemocline interface], 90 m, and 92 m [the water-sediment interface]) in the anoxic zone of the water column in Lake Pavin, a freshwater permanently stratified mountain lake in France, were determined. Phylogenetic trees were constructed from sequences to asse...

Understanding of exchange processes over Tibetan Plateau including hydrological cycle is becoming increasingly important since their influence on the formation of the Asian monsoon system is known. Recent variation of levels of Tibetan lakes and retreat of mountain glaciers has to be studied in detail with respect to global change. Tibetan Plateau is source area for main Asian rivers that are o...

We measured accumulation rates of organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN) and stable carbon (dCorg) and nitrogen isotopes (d15N) in the sediments of two mountain lakes (Lake Ledvica and Lake Planina, northwest Slovenia). Marked variations of these parameters were observed in both sediments. OC accumulation rates ranged from 4 to 23 g m22 yr21 in Lake Ledvica, whereas in Lake Planina they we...

The current study deals with the physicochemical characterization, temporal variability and trophic state evaluation of a post glacial mountain lake in eastern Himalaya during the period of 2014-2016. Notable seasonal variations are recorded for physicochemical parameters of lake water. The values for electrical conductivity, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, total alkalinity and ...
