Exploring the functional diversity and activity of microbial communities related to mercury cycling in Lake Geneva with new omics approaches (MERCUROMIX) Mercury (chemical symbol Hg) is considered as a priority pollutant, including in Europe, mainly because of the...
Effect of Nearshore Mixing on Formation of Nearshore Cold Water Density Currents The warming of lakes due to climate change, which has been shown for lake surface waters by satellite thermal imagery, affects lake ecological processes and their biodiversity. In large...
Lake Near-shore Hydrodynamic Phenomena – Coastal Upwelling and Cold Water Density Currents Water quality in lakes is closely linked to hydrodynamics and is often strongly affected by thermal stratification, which limits the vertical exchange between the upper...
Atmospheric acidity and its impacts on atmospheric macronutrient deposition Biological diversity and competition among species in ecosystems are sensitive to changes in macronutrient supply and pollution exposure. Human activity is intensively and extensively altering...
