  • Using lake sediments to assess the long-term impacts of anthropogenic activity in tropical river deltas

    Open AccessRuth E Walton, Heather L Moorhouse et al.ARTICLEThe Anthropocene Review2024Cited by: 1References: 147

    Tropical river deltas, and the social-ecological systems they sustain, are changing rapidly due to anthropogenic activity and climatic change. Baseline data to inform sustainable management options for resilient deltas is urgently needed and palaeolimnology (reconstructing past conditions from lake or wetland deposits) can provide crucial long-term perspectives needed to identify drivers and rates of change. We review how palaeolimnology can be a…

  • Urbanization and seasonality strengthens the CO 2 capacity of the Red River Delta, Vietnam

    Open AccessJorge Salgado, Duc Anh Trinh et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Tropical rivers are dynamic CO 2 sources. Regional patterns in the partial pressure of CO 2 ( p CO 2 ) and relationships with other a/biotic factors in densely populated and rapidly developing river delta regions of Southeast Asia are still poorly constrained. Over one year, at 21 sites across the river system in the Red River Delta (RRD), Vietnam, we calculated p CO 2 levels from temperature, pH, and total alkalinity and inter-linkages between p…

  • Tropical Asian mega‐delta ponds

    Open AccessHeather Moorhouse, Lucy Roberts et al.ARTICLEGeo Geography and Environment2021Cited by: 1References: 14

    This paper uses multimedia to showcase the narratives and lived experiences of those who live and work in tropical Asian mega‐deltas, and as such is the first journal article of its kind in the field of Regional Geography. Using videos, photography and audio this paper describes the characteristics of ponds and their place in the intrinsically connected human‐environmental fabric of these delta regions. The aim is to bring to life descriptive inv…

  • Effects of climate change on a subtropical montane peatland over the last two centuries

    Open AccessXu Chen, Suzanne Mcgowan et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2021References: 2

    Climate variability can induce rapid changes in peatland ecosystems, affecting both carbon cycling and vegetation succession. Diatoms are an important group of ubiquitous and diverse algae in peatlands. Until now, the responses of diatom communities to climate variability have rarely been explored in peatlands, especially in subtropical regions. In this study, monitoring and paleolimnological datasets were combined to decipher environmental chang…

  • Rapidly rising transboundary atmospheric pollution from industrial and urban sources in Southeast Asia and its implications for regional sustainable development

    Open AccessQinqin Chen, Suzanne Mcgowan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Transboundary atmospheric pollution is a major concern throughout much of Southeast Asia (SEA), although most attention has, to date, focused on episodic haze events associated with biomass burning in the region. Here, we reconstruct long-term variations in transboundary inputs of chromium (Cr), an industrial pollutant, to Singapore over the period 1900–2017 by adopting a novel catchment-reservoir mass balance methodology that combines a national…

  • Diatoms in a sediment core from a flood pulse wetland in Malaysia record strong responses to human impacts and hydro‐climate over the past 150 years

    Open AccessCharlotte Briddon, Suzanne Mcgowan et al.ARTICLEGeo Geography and Environment2020Cited by: 2References: 2

    Rapid development and climate change in southeast Asia is placing unprecedented pressures on freshwater ecosystems, but long term records of the ecological consequences are rare. Here we examine one basin of Tasik Chini (Malaysia), a UNESCO‐designated flood pulse wetland, where human disturbances (dam installation, iron ore mining, oil palm and rubber cultivation) have escalated since the 1980s. Diatom analysis and organic matter geochemistry (δ …

  • Arctic climate shifts drive rapid ecosystem responses across the West Greenland landscape

    Open AccessJasmine E Saros, N John Anderson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Prediction of high latitude response to climate change is hampered by poor understanding of the role of nonlinear changes in ecosystem forcing and response. While the effects of nonlinear climate change are often delayed or dampened by internal ecosystem dynamics, recent warming events in the Arctic have driven rapid environmental response, raising questions of how terrestrial and freshwater systems in this region may shift in response to abrupt …

  • First human impacts and responses of aquatic systems

    Open AccessNathalie Dubois, Émilie Saulnier-Talbot et al.ARTICLEThe Anthropocene Review2018

    Lake sediments constitute natural archives of past environmental changes. Historically, research has focused mainly on generating regional climate records, but records of human impacts caused by land use and exploitation of freshwater resources are now attracting scientific and management interests. Long-term environmental records are useful to establish ecosystem reference conditions, enabling comparisons with current environments and potentiall…

  • Changes in glacial meltwater alter algal communities in lakes of Scoresby Sund, Renland, East Greenland throughout the Holocene

    Open AccessKrista E H Slemmons, Krista EH Slemmons et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2016References: 5

    We investigated the response of lake algal communities to changes in glacial meltwater from the Renland Ice Cap (Greenland) through the Holocene to assess whether influxes always elicit consistent responses or novel responses. We measured sedimentary algal pigments in two proximal lakes, snow-fed Raven and glacier- and snow-fed Bunny Lake, and diatom community structure and turnover in Bunny Lake. Diatom data were not available in Raven Lake. We …

  • Establishing the impacts of freshwater aquaculture in tropical Asia

    Open AccessKenoses Legaspi, Annie Lau et al.ARTICLEGeo Geography and Environment2015References: 4

    Freshwater aquaculture is an important source of protein worldwide. Over‐exploitation of fisheries can, however, add severely to pressures on ecosystem functioning and services. In Southeast Asia, aquaculture in freshwater lakes contributes significantly to the economy and to reductions in poverty and nutritional insecurity. However, overstocking and excessive feeding of fish can lead to a degradation of affected water bodies, manifest as eutroph…

  • Sediment Evidence of Early Eutrophication and Heavy Metal Pollution of Lake Mälaren, Central Sweden

    Ingemar Renberg, R Bindler et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2001References: 20

    Lake Mälaren is the water supply and recreation area for more than 1 million people in central Sweden and subject to considerable environmental concern. To establish background data for assessments of contemporary levels of trophy and heavy metal pollution, sediment cores from the lake were analyzed. Diatom–inferred lake–water phosphorus concentrations suggest that pre-20th century nutrient levels in Södra Björkfjärden, a basin in the eastern par…
