Identifying sedimentation processes in the Coata River, Altiplano of the Puno department, Peru, by the 210Pb method
(2019-11-01)
The rivers, lakes and dam sediment analyses are able to predict the back conditions of these ecosystems and determine how the environment changed as a result of anthropogenic activities. In this way they can be used as ...
Effects of harbor activities on sediment quality in a semi-arid region in Brazil
(2017-01-01)
Tropical marine environments are rich in biodiversity and the presence of harbor activities in these areas can harm the coastal ecosystems. In this study, we assessed sediment quality of two harbors from a tropical region ...
Key issues on sediment quality assessment: A review of South American research with emphasis on Brazil
(2007)
Conventional approaches to pollution prevention in South American countries have traditionally relied on scientists identifying potentially harmful substances and practices, and advising regulators concerning exposures and ...
Tidally driven sulfidic conditions in Peruvian mangrove sediments
(Springer, 2018)
The seasonal influence of tidal regimes on sulfidic conditions was studied in intertidal environments from a mangrove estuary in Northern Peru. Along two sampling stations, creek water and sediment cores were collected ...
