Data from around the world (Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Brazil, Canada, Netherlands, Poland, UK and USA) show that more than four million onshore hydrocarbon wells have been drilled globally. Here we assess all reliable datasets (25) on well barrier integrity failure in published literature online. These include production, injection, idle abandoned wells, both offshore, exploiting conventional unconventional reservoirs. The vary considerably terms of number examined, their age designs....

Minerals stabilize organic carbon (OC) in sediments, thereby directly affecting global climate at multiple scales, but how they do it is far from understood. Here we show that manganese oxide (Mn oxide) a water treatment works filter bed traps dissolved OC as coatings build up layers around clean sand grains 3%w/wC. Using spectroscopic and thermogravimetric methods, identify two main fractions. One thermally refractory (>550 °C) the other more labile (<550 °C). We postulate thermal stability...

Abstract The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) export from land to ocean via rivers is a significant term in the global C cycle, and has been modified many areas by human activity. DOC exports large are fairly well quantified, but those smaller river systems, including draining oceanic regions, generally under-represented syntheses. Given that these regions typically have high runoff peat cover, they may exert disproportionate influence on land–ocean export. Here we describe comprehensive new...
Abstract This study examines the release of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from upland peat during period autumn flushing. Hydroclimatic conditions were monitored in conjunction with measurements absorbance and E4/E6 ratio stream draining an 11·4 km 2 catchment northern England. During two months monitoring effects 67 separate rainfall events examined showing that: The behaves hydrologically as if it a end‐member system consisting old, interevent, new, event, water.

Widespread pollution of groundwater by nutrients due to 20th century agricultural intensification has been major concern in the developed world for several decades.

For same period, data are available characterize changes both land use and management an annual scale. A modeling...
