Due to the depositional environment, river deltas are said act as filters and sinks for pollutants. However, many also densely populated rapidly urbanizing, creating new increased sources of These pose risk tipping these environments from pollution sources, world's oceans. We provide detailed seasonal annual assessments metal contaminants in riverine suspended particulate matter (SPM) across Red River Delta (RRD), Vietnam. The global contributions elements RRD all <0.2% with elemental fluxes...
Corals are unique in the suite of proposed Anthropocene Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) archives, as living organisms that produce aragonite exoskeletons preserved geological record contain highly accurate precise (<±1 year) internal chronologies. The GSSP candidate site North Flinders Reef Coral Sea (Australia) is an offshore oceanic reef, therefore less vulnerable to local human influences than those closer coast. Here, we present geochemical records from two Porites...
Decarbonization of the electricity system coupled with electrification transport, heat and industry represents a practical cost-effective approach to deep decarbonization. A key question is: where build new solar wind farms? This study presents cost-based evaluate land parcels for farm suitability using colour-coded heatmaps that visually depict favourable locations. An indicative cost is calculated each pixel by focusing on factors including resource availability, proximity transmission...
Apicomplexan infections cause substantial morbidity and mortality, worldwide. New, improved therapies are needed. Herein, we create a next generation anti-apicomplexan lead compound, JAG21, tetrahydroquinolone, with increased sp3-character to improve parasite selectivity. Relative other cytochromeb inhibitors, JAG21 has solubility ADMET properties, without need for pro-drug. significantly reduces Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites encysted bradyzoites in vitro, primary established chronic vivo....
The proposed Anthropocene Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) candidate site of West Flower Garden Bank (27.8762°N, 93.8147°W) is an open ocean location in the Gulf Mexico with a submerged coral reef few direct human impacts. Corals contain highly accurate precise (<±1 year) internal chronologies, similar to tree rings, their exoskeletons are formed aragonite can be preserved rock record. Here we present results from large Siderastrea siderea (core 05WFGB3; 1755–2005 CE)...
The decarbonization of the electricity system coupled with electrification transport, heat, and industry represents a practical cost-effective approach to deep decarbonization. A key question is as follows: where build new solar wind farms? This study presents cost-based evaluate land parcels for farm suitability using colour-coded heatmaps that visually depict favourable locations. An indicative cost calculated classified each pixel by focusing on factors including resource availability,...
The trace element (Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca) stable isotope (δ18O δ13C) geochemistry of fossil ostracod valves provide valuable information, particularly in lacustrine settings, on palaeo-water composition palaeotemperature. removal sedimentary organic contamination prior to geochemical analysis is essential avoid bias the results. Previous work shells has, however, employed different treatments for beyond simple 'manual' cleaning using a paint brush methanol under low-power binocular microscope. For...
Abstract Tropical rivers are dynamic CO 2 sources. Regional patterns in the partial pressure of ( p ) and relationships with other a/biotic factors densely populated rapidly developing river delta regions Southeast Asia still poorly constrained. Over one year, at 21 sites across system Red River Delta (RRD), Vietnam, we calculated levels from temperature, pH, total alkalinity inter-linkages between phytoplankton, water chemistry seasonality were then assessed. The smaller, more urbanized,...
Fly-ash particles formed during industrial fossil-fuel combustion show a globally observed rapid increase in concentration within natural archives post-1950 and have been proposed as marker for the Anthropocene Epoch. Here, we present first record of fly-ash incorporated into coral skeletons. Particles are Mediterranean corals between CE 1957 1992 at concentrations 8–30 g−1 coral, mirroring period increased activity area, corroborating with spheroidal carbonaceous particle (SCP) records...
Abstract This paper uses multimedia to showcase the narratives and lived experiences of those who live work in tropical Asian mega‐deltas, as such is first journal article its kind field Regional Geography. Using videos, photography audio this describes characteristics ponds their place intrinsically connected human‐environmental fabric these delta regions. The aim bring life descriptive inventories provide greater weight support our conclusion that mega‐delta are important threatened...
Recent investigation of a constitutively active ADAMTS13 variant (caADAMTS13) in murine models acute ischaemic stroke (AIS) have revealed potential anti-inflammatory mechanism action contributing to its protective effect. However, it remains unclear whether these observations are direct result VWF proteolysis by caADAMTS13. We implemented state the art vitro assays neutrophil rolling and transmigration quantify impact caADAMTS13 on processes. Moreover, we tested two vivo migration confirm...
A 2,000 year-long oceanographic history, in sub-centennial resolution, from a Canadian Beaufort Sea continental shelf site (60meters water depth) near the Mackenzie River outlet is reconstructed ostracode and foraminifera faunal assemblages, shell stable isotopes (delta 18O, delta 13C) sediment biogenic silica. The chronology of three cores making up composite section was established using 137Cs 210Pb dating for most recent 150 years combined with linear interpolation radiocarbon dates...
The effective management and restoration of aquatic ecosystems rely on the establishment “reference conditions,” defined as conditions expected in absence anthropogenic impacts, require a thorough understanding natural variability within system. However, at least Europe, most systematic surveys post‐date onset human‐induced pressures ecosystems, thus fail to capture earlier degradation water chemistry flora fauna, which were already advanced. Paleolimnological methods can be used assess...
The open collection “Aquatic transitions: Tracking the nature and trajectories of anthropogenically forced change in freshwater coastal ecosystems” stems from a session same name at ASLO (Association for Sciences Limnology Oceanography) Aquatic Meeting 2017 Honolulu, Hawai'i. five papers gathered here reflect focus special on long‐term ecosystem research monitoring (LTERM), collectively make use data, palaeolimnology, historical documentary records to explore timing, extent, causes...
The common brackish water ostracods Cyprideis torosa and Loxoconcha elliptica frequently occur together in high abundances marginal marine environments. Seasonality of calcification differs between species can have important implications for palaeotemperature reconstructions. There are existing calibrations both genera. However, the spp. Mg/Ca temperature calibration has not thus far been applied to L. elliptica. equation does rely on a known Mg/Cawater value, unlike C. torosa, suggesting it...
In early 2020, a group of geoscientists and other experts came together, within the framework Irish Centre for Research in Applied Geoscience (iCRAG), to learn about challenges experienced by researchers iCRAG, identify ways work together create more inclusive environment. However, it was swiftly realised that these issues were manifest across geosciences, any meaningful changes would need be structural widespread. This led formation Equity, Diversity Inclusion (EDIG) project: volunteer-led,...
