Development of a clean hot water drill to access Subglacial Lake CECs, West Antarctica by Keith Makinson, Paul G. D. Anker, Jonathan Garcés, David J. Goodger, Scott Polfrey, Julius Rix, Alejandro Silva, Andrew M. Smith, José A. Uribe, Rodrigo Zamora

“…Recent drilling successes on Rutford Ice Stream in West Antarctica demonstrate the viability of hot water drilling subglacial access holes to depths >2000 m. Having techniques to access deep subglacial environments reliably paves the way for subglacial lake exploration beneath the thick central West Antarctic Ice Sheet. …”

An abundant future for quagga mussels in deep European lakes by Benjamin M Kraemer, Salomé Boudet, Lyubov E Burlakova, Linda Haltiner, Bas W Ibelings, Alexander Y Karatayev, Vadim A Karatayev, Silvan Rossbacher, Raphael Stöckli, Dietmar Straile, Piet Spaak

“…Like in North America, this increase may be characterized by a shift to larger individuals and deeper depths as the population matures. If realized, this rapid expansion of quagga mussels would likely drive the largest aquatic ecosystem change in deep European lakes since the eutrophication period of the mid-20th century.…”

Critical areas for sea turtles in Northeast Brazil: a participatory approach for a data-poor context by Yedda Christina Bezerra Barbosa de Oliveira, Douglas Nazareth Rivera, Luciano Carramaschi de Alagão Querido, José da Silva Mourão

“…By interpolation of environmental data (chlorophyll and bathymetry) and ecological data, we predicted habitats of 3,459.96 km² for Caretta caretta, Chelonia mydas, and Eretmochelys imbricata and fishing zones of 1,087 km² for management in 20 m and 50 m depths. Our results contributes to ongoing discussions of bycatch mitigation for sea turtle species and identification of habitats. …”

One-Year Measurements of Equivalent Black Carbon, Optical Properties, and Sources in the Urumqi River Valley, Tien Shan, China by Xin Zhang, Zhongqin Li, Jing Ming, Feiteng Wang

“…The planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) showed an inverse relationship with EBC concentrations, suggesting that the reduction of the PBLH leads to enhanced EBC. The aerosol optical depths (AOD) over the Urumqi River Valley, derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data and back trajectory analysis, showed that the pollution from Central Asia was more likely to affect the atmosphere of Tien Shan in summer and autumn. …”
