Tissue-Specific Heavy Metal Accumulation And Sediment–Mangrove Dynamics In Port Everglades, Florida, Dimitrios Giarikos, Amy Hirons, Jason Gershman, Sophie Welch

SECLER Data

Coastal wetlands near industrialized waterways face increasing heavy metal contamination, yet the role of mangroves as biogeochemical buffers remains poorly understood. This study quantified 16 heavy metals in sediments and red mangrove (Rhizophora mangle) tissues (roots, branches, and leaves) across four sites near Port Everglades, Florida, examining tissue-specific partitioning, contamination patterns, and sediment-to-plant transfer. The South Turning Basin (STB) was the principal contamination hotspot, with geometric mean (GM) concentrations of arsenic (As; 27.8 µg/g) and zinc (Zn; 203 µg/g) exceeding threshold effect levels, while Cu exceeded its probable effect level (PEL; 193 µg/g). Mercury (Hg) exceeded its PEL …

Supporting Dataset For The Influence Of Tile-Water On Groundwater Nitrate Concentrations Within A Saturated Riparian Buffer Zone, Aminat Tosin Abdulsalam, Eric Wade Peterson

Faculty Publications - Geography, Geology, and the Environment

In the U.S. Midwest, where fertile soils with high water retention are prevalent, the installation of tile drainage networks have become a common practice to drain excess soil water, which enhances plant growth and increases crop productivity. However, tile drainage networks coupled with the use of inorganic fertilizers have significant implications on water quality, contributing to eutrophication, leading to harmful algal blooms, and resulting in hypoxic conditions in surface water bodies. To mitigate excess nutrient exports to surface water bodies, edge-of-field practices have been introduced. One such practice is the saturated riparian buffer (SRB), which utilizes a diversion system to …

Anthropogenically Expedited Transit Reduces Organic Carbon Loss In The Lower Mississippi River: Dataset, Zhixiong Shen, Brad E. Rosenheim, Torbjörn E. Törnqvist, Andreas Lang Jun 2020

Anthropogenically Expedited Transit Reduces Organic Carbon Loss In The Lower Mississippi River: Dataset, Zhixiong Shen, Brad E. Rosenheim, Torbjörn E. Törnqvist, Andreas Lang

College of Science Data Sets

This dataset presents data to investigate the change of organic carbon carried by the Lower Mississippi River (LMR) related to river engineering. The dataset includes (1) OSL data, (2) 14C data; (3) the channel centerline of the LMR in the 1970s, (4) the channel centerline of the LMR in 2019, and (5) the migration rates of the LMR between the 1970s and 2019.


Archived Rock Samples From Jane Selverstone's Research Collection, Jane Selverstone Jan 2017

Archived Rock Samples From Jane Selverstone's Research Collection, Jane Selverstone

Earth and Planetary Sciences Faculty and Staff Publications

This Excel spreadsheet lists all of the rock samples from Jane Selverstone's research collection that have been archived into the Earth and Planetary Sciences Collections at the University of New Mexico. All samples are listed by original (published) sample number and by an affiliated International GeoSample Number. Samples are grouped by research project, and doi information is given for all publications resulting from work on each project. Rock samples include various combinations of hand specimens, powders, thin sections, and billets from which thin sections were prepared. Information is included to identify the drawers within which each sample can be found …
