▼ The deposition of Banded Iron Formation (BIF) during
the Archean and Paleoproterozoic is conventionally attributed to
the precipitation of iron-oxides resulting from the abiotic
reaction of ferrous iron (Fe(II)) with oxygen (Cloud, 1968).
Oxygenic photosynthesis, however, appeared only around 2.7 Ga (Des
Marais, 2000; Kump, 2008; Godfrey & Falkowski, 2009 ), thus
raising questions as to what may have caused BIF precipitation
before that time. The discovery of anoxygenic phototrophs thriving
through the oxidation of Fe(II) (Widdel et al., 1993; Heisinget
al., 1999) has provided support for a bacterial origin for early
BIFs (Konhauseret al., 2002; Kappler et al., 20051). Despite
reports of anoxygenic phototrophs that may oxidise Fe(II) in the
environment (Crowe et al., 2008), a model ecosystem where
photoferrotrophs are demonstrably active is still lacking (Svermann
& Anbar, 2009; Johnston et al., 2009). Therefore, the
ferruginous meromictic
lake La Cruz (Spain) that sustains dense
populations of purple and green anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria
despite low sulfate and sulfide concentrations was investigated.
First, the system was characterized by a physico-chemical analysis
of its water column and sediments. Then we focuses on the
chemocline compartment where iron oxides were found to be produced.
On the one hand, We performed <i>in situ</i>
14C-bicarbonate incubations to detect any
stimulation of autotrophy by Fe(II) addition, while on the other
hand <i>ex situ</i> incubations were carried out with
the same natural sample to detect any Fe(II) oxidation by
Lake La
Cruz microbiota. In parallel, we have done enrichment cultures
targeting anaerobic iron oxidizing metabolisms. In the
second chapter, we show direct evidences of a photoferrotrophic
activity in the ferruginous meromictic
lake La Cruz (Spain) that
sustains dense populations of purple and green anoxygenic
phototrophic bacteria despite low sulfate and sulfide
concentrations. We observed in situ photoferrotrophic activity
through stimulation of phototrophic carbon uptake in the presence
of Fe(II), and quantified light-dependent Fe(II)-oxidation by the
natural chemocline microbiota to assess their potential
quantitative contribution to ancient BIF formation. In addition, a
green photoferrotrophic bacterial consortium was enriched for the
first time from a ferruginous water column. This new model
ecosystem will allow testing current concepts on ancient primary
productivity and its interactions with the iron- and sulphur cycles
and may help to refine paleoenvironmental proxies. In
the third chapter, our results indicate, for the first time, that
nitrate-dependent chemoautotrophic iron-oxidation occurred within
Lake La Cruz chemocline. The organisms responsible for this
Fe(II)-oxidation demonstrated, in optimized conditions, that their
Fe(II)-oxidation rate was sufficiant to oxidize the totality of the
dissolved Fe(II) arriving in the chemocline compartment (21.6 -
38.4 μmol Fe(II) I
-1
d
-1 and 0.174 - 1.393 μmol Fe(II)…

▼ Past hydroclimatic change is shown from the
reconstruction of paleo-
lake levels from New Long and Rocky Ponds
in southeastern Massachusetts, and Davis Pond in western
Massachusetts show evidence for multiple,
sub-centennial-to-millennial scale lowstands during the transition
from the late-Pleistocene (15.0 ka) through the Holocene (0.0 ka),
and for repeated sub-millennial scale, spatially coherent,
lake
level changes from 8.0 - 0.0 ka. Sedimentary evidence from New Long
Pond indicates a drop in water levels in the mid AD 20th century,
when instrumental data show lower-than-average precipitation in the
northeastern United States, and a prolonged low water stand during
the Medieval Climate Anomaly like that in the American southwest,
which also overlaps a 100-yr interval of warm tropical Atlantic sea
surface temperatures and cool La Niña-like Pacific conditions.
Ground penetrating radar and sediment core data from the basins
indicate numerous paleo-shoreline deposits from 15.0-7.0 ka. Davis
and New Long Ponds also reveal past droughts during the Holocene.
Many of the late-Pleistocene/early Holocene low
lake levels
coincide with proposed meltwater release events or abrupt climate
oscillations in the North Atlantic region, with at least three low
stands during the Younger Dryas, and in association with the "9.2"
and "8.2" ka events. Although the effect of summer insolation after
8.0 ka may be instrumental in a sequence of droughts from 6.2-4.8
ka, the ca. 6.0 ka and 3.1-2.7 ka droughts also coincide with
reduced meridional overturning circulation in the North Atlantic
region. The combined evidence of concurrent paleo-droughts in
southeastern New England with documented North Atlantic abrupt
cooling events, and recent drought with the modern association of
low sea-surface temperatures, indicates that freshening and cooling
of the western North Atlantic is a viable mechanism for decreasing
moisture within the region. Large-scale changes in seasonality and
ice sheet extent also may have increased the susceptibility of the
northeast to dry conditions triggered by changes in the North
Atlantic.

▼ Numerous treaties and management strategies have been created in an attempt to either prevent or repair water-related problems and/or disputes involving the worlds 263 trans- boundary freshwater regimes. Canada and the U.S. are no different. However, modern times have not only revealed potentially new causes for trans-boundary water-related disputes, but weaknesses within the tools commonly used to address such disputes.
Research was conducted using key groups and government departments within both Minnesota and North Dakota in an attempt to identify whether or not the economic, legal and social landscapes of the two states were favourable to reduce the nutrient loading to their portion of the Red River Drainage Basin which inevitably flows in Manitoba and enters
Lake Winnipeg. The research revealed that; i) the difficulty of addressing NPS pollution, ii) a lack of cooperation from private landowners, iii) anti-government intervention, iv) a lack of funding for NPS related programs, v) uncertainties with the science, vi) negative economic impacts of implementing solutions, vii) interference by special interest groups and viii) legislative weaknesses of the Clean Water Act all create barriers that make achieving meaningful nutrient reductions unlikely.
Due to these barriers, Minnesota’s and North Dakota’s hydro-hegemonic influence on nutrient levels within the Red River may aid in dictating potentially disastrous ecological conditions to
Lake Winnipeg and place its long-term health in question.

▼ After more than 40 years of stocking,
lake trout (
Salvelinus namaycush) in
Lake Champlain have started to exhibit strong, natural recruitment which suggests a change in limiting factors such as the prey base or overwinter survival. The distribution of juvenile wild
lake trout shows variation in abundance and condition factor among regions of
Lake Champlain. These differences suggest the prey base, or foraging success, may vary geographically within the
lake. Stocked and wild
lake trout may differ in their ability to utilize resources and in overwinter survival. One metric that may indicate differences in resources across regions is lipid content, which reflects the quality of available food and acts as an important energy reserve for overwinter survival. We quantified total lipid content of stocked and wild juvenile
lake trout across spatial (
lake regions) and temporal (seasonal) scales. No spatial differences in lipid content were apparent. Wild fish were significantly greater in lipid content than stocked fish. Seasonally, stocked fish showed a drop in lipid content from pre-winter levels to the following spring, and lipids continued to drop through autumn. Wild fish showed a cyclical summer increase in lipids following replenishment from winter depletion, which plateaued by autumn. Results suggest that hatchery conditions cause stocked juvenile
lake trout to be less competitive in the
Lake Champlain environment than wild juveniles, evidenced by their lower lipid content and seasonal depletion. Hatchery practices could be modified to produce more competitive juvenile
lake trout and support the goal of restoring a self-sustaining population.

▼ Eutrophication is a global environmental problem, which in Sweden is predominantly in the south of Sweden where there are large agricultural areas. Skellefteå is a small town on the northern coast which has eleven water bodies classified as “poor ecological status” of which Uttersjöträsket is one of them according to the water authorities. Uttersjöträsket has a requirement to achieve good ecological status by 2021. Uttersjöträsket’s agriculture land is from at least 1716 according to historical maps. To be able to restore a eutrophic lake the source of the phosphorus load must be identified.To determine the natural state for Uttersjöträsket the sediment record could be studied. For example, earlier studies have been made in Kassjön in Umeå were they conclude that the beginning of the agriculture area started in the 12th century, which means that Uttersjöträsket could have had agriculture land since before 1716. The municipality of Skellefteå made contact with residents in the area who formed a water group to work towards achieving the goal by 2021. This report will form the basis for the water group to take appropriate measures to reduce the bloom of cyanobacteria and to achieve good ecological status. The conclusions of this report are based on analysis of data and results from previous studies of eutrophic lakes. Many different methods must be done to have a long-lasting impact and to achieve good ecological status in Uttersjöträsket. The focus of the actions should be on the ditch between Yttersjön and Uttersjöträsket as the highest phosphorus load is in that catchment.

▼ My study focused on a threatened population of lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) in the Muskegon River system, Michigan. I assessed the condition, growth and population dynamics of lake sturgeon and compared them to nearby populations using a lengthweight relationship and the von Bertalanffy growth model. I also estimated the abundance of adult lake sturgeon in the Muskegon River system during the spawning run using closed-population models, analyzed movements of adult lake sturgeon during their spawning migrations using ultrasonic telemetry in 2011, and verified reproductive success by capturing larvae with drift nets in 2010 and 2011. The capture of adult lake sturgeon was performed using boat electrofishing and large-mesh gill netting in the spring, and juvenile lake sturgeon were captured using small-mesh gill netting in the fall. From 2008 to 2011, 141 individual lake sturgeon (24.9 – 191.0 cm total length; 0.05- 59.50 kg weight) were captured. Of these, 116 lake sturgeon were aged using pectoral fin rays, representing 24 age cohorts. The weight-length relationship for captured lake sturgeon, where W is weight (kg) and TL is total length (cm), is log10(W) = -6.13 + 3.42•log10(TL) and the von Bertalanffy growth model is TL = 177.62 (1-e-0.0985(t-1.0035)), where t is age. Compared to nearby systems, a 100-cm individual from the Muskegon system tended to weigh less (average: -0.98 kg), and individuals age 23-27 years tended to be longer at age (average: +18.0 cm). Abundances were estimated for the 2009 and 2010 spawning migrations, which were 46 (95% CI: 37-67) and 39 (95% CI: 27-67) individuals, respectively. Successful reproduction in the Muskegon River was confirmed by the capture of 16 larval lake sturgeon in 2010 and 2 individuals in 2011. Consistent with other studies, the onset of larval drift was at a water temperature of 16 °C. The number of larvae drifting downstream appeared to become heavily diluted with increasing distance downstream of a known spawning site. Overall, my results suggest the Muskegon River supports a small (in terms of annual population numbers), healthy (in terms of individual growth rates and proportion of individuals less than age 5), naturally-reproducing population of lake sturgeon. Nevertheless, the small size of the annual spawning run suggests the population should continue to be protected and be the focus of restoration.

▼ Lakes change over time in response to climate and catchment disturbance, even in the absence of anthropogenic stressors. This temporal change may impact the setting of reference conditions for lakes. Many sources of information including monitoring data, historical information, modelling and paleolimnology can be used to understand temporal dynamics of lakes. In this thesis, the contribution of catchment disturbance by volcanic eruptions, introduction and proliferation of invasive mammals, and climate variability, to temporal variability in
lake reference conditions was studied in a deep
lake (
Lake Okataina) in the Central North Island in New Zealand that is close to reference state. The
lake and its catchment have been
subject to anthropogenic and natural biotic and abiotic disturbances during the last millennium. Polynesian settlements were thought to have been established in and around the
lake catchment in the early 14th century following the Kaharoa eruption of AD 1314 ± 12. Mt Tarawera erupted 10 June 1886 and damaged large tracts of vegetation in the Okataina catchment. Following European settlements around the catchment in the early 20th century, mammals which were hitherto not present, were liberated into the forest and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were released into the
lake. Large populations of the dama wallaby (Macropus eugenii), wild boar (Sus scrofa), red deer (Cervus elaphus) and the Australian brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) exist in the catchment. These mammals have become the “new normal” in many New Zealand catchments.
To understand the role of volcanic eruptions and invasive mammals in shifting baseline conditions of lakes, two 49 cm cores were retrieved from a central deep location at
Lake Okataina. The core was sliced at 1 cm intervals and slices dated using 210Pb, with the tephra from the Kaharoa and Tarawera eruptions used to validate the dates and benchmark events. Dating indicated the length of the core encompassed the period between the Kaharoa eruption of AD 1314 ± 12 and 2009. Various inorganic and organic geochemical proxies in the sediment core slices were analysed to determine: changes in catchment erosion, phosphorus speciation, phytoplankton community assemblage, primary productivity, sources of organic matter loading, redox potential, and internal phosphorus loading to the
lake.
A suite of statistical techniques, including structural equation modelling (SEM), general linear modelling (GLM), nonmetric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) and correlation analysis was used to interpret vertical changes in the composition of the core slices and relationships amongst analytes. SEM was used to compare the relative importance of climate and catchment disturbance in changing the primary productivity of
Lake Okataina after the Tarawera eruption (1886) and European settlement (1900). Changes in historical primary productivity inferred from total organic carbon in sediment core slices were modelled as a function of geochemical proxies for erosion (Al and Ti) and records of…

▼ Lake Abaya is a quasi-endorheic
lake which is located 6º 26’ N Latitude and 37º 53’ E Longitude with
surface area of 1095 km
. It drains with five main rivers (Bilate, Gidabo, Gelana, Hamessa and Harie) and
many other intermittent tributaries and covers a total catchment area of 14638.83km
2
2
.
The objective of this study is to assess the water balance and
lake level fluctuation of
Lake Abaya. The
lake level is gauged up to the year 2013, but the inflow from the four out of five tributaries is gauged up
to the year 2005. As a result stream flow is predicted by using HEC-HMS to the year 2013. Inflow from
the un-gauged catchment is estimated using area ratio method. Areal rainfall for the sub-basin and
lake
surface is estimated using Thiessen polygon method. Evaporation from the
lake surface is estimated using
Cropwat 8 software, Penman’s method and Pan Evaporation; pan evaporation is taken for the analysis.
Water abstraction from tributary rivers and the
lake for irrigation is determined by Cropwat 8 software.
After analysis of all components of water balance for the
lake, a water balance model has developed using
continuity equation. Summing up of all the components,
lake surface rainfall 18.87 %, inflow 32.35 %
(Gauged 19.18 %, un-gauged 13.16 %),
lake surface evaporation 46.08 % and abstraction 2.71 %
contributes for the
lake water balance trend and no observed out flow from the
lake. The
lake level has a
relation with climatic and human factors; rainfall and temperature of the area shows a slow increment and
that of wind speed, sunshine hours and evaporation shows slow decrement. When comparing the land
cover of 1996 to the land cover of 2006 that the area under intensive cultivation, grassland, urban area and
riparian has increased by 84.59, 32.64, 1.08 and 0.11 km
respectively and that of shrub-land, unidentified
area, marshland, forest, moderately cultivated and exposed surface has decreased by 69.20, 35.90, 8.00,
4.92, 0.40, 0.01 km
2
respectively and that of water body and woodland has not changed yet. These all is
not in contradict with the increment of the
lake level rather it agrees. To irrigate a total land of 9906 ha
with common crops of Banana, Tobacco, Cotton, Vegetables and diversified crops 140.98 MCM of water
is abstracted from the
lake and all the tributary rivers. Two irrigation scenarios are conducted, scenario 1
2
with irrigation expansion of 10610 ha on the tributaries needs additional water of 84.10 MCM per year
and reduces the
lake level by 60 mm, and scenario 2 irrigation expansion of 30,831 ha, it requires
additional water of 528.45 MCM per year and this will reduce the
lake level by 420 mm. The simulation
of
lake level has been conducted by excel spread sheet model at monthly time stapes.
The causes for the increment of
lake level are (1) the nature of the
lake (which is quasi-endorheic) (2)
Climatic factors (the increment of rain fall, decreasing of evaporation, etc.) (3) Anthropogenic factors
(deforestation, intensive cultivation, etc.)

▼ Removal processes for selenium (Se) from the Great Salt Lake, Utah (GSL) are investigated by estimation of sedimentation flux from analysis of lake cores and direct measurement of volatilization flux for comparison to a predictive model. To estimate Se removal by sedimentation, lake sediment cores were used to delineate qualitative sedimentation regions, estimate mass accumulation rates (MAR), and determine sediment 210 226 7 137 Se concentrations. Quantifiable MAR results from analysis of Pb, Ra, Be, and Cs activity in 8 deep cores ranged from 0.010 to 0.049 g/cm2/yr. Contemporary sediment Se concentrations from the upper 2 cm of each deep core ranged from 0.79 to 3.12 |ig/g. A representative MAR and Se concentration was assigned based on deep cores located within each sedimentation region. Coupling these with region area, mean annual Se removal by sedimentation was estimated to be 520 Kg/yr within a range of uncertainty between 45 and 990 Kg/yr. Volatilized Se from the water surface was contained and concentrated using a floating emission isolation flux chamber (St. Croix Sensory, Inc.) and captured in a cryogenic finger trap. These samples were taken concurrently with volatile Se concentration, wind velocity, and surface water temperature for input into the Se flux predictive model. Direct flux measurements under controlled laboratory conditions in which Se concentration varied and was independently verified suggest that 10% of actual flux was captured by the direct measurement. After correction for background and 10% measurement inefficiency, measured fluxes approximated, but were generally higher than predicted fluxes. The specific cause of this discrepancy is unclear, but the correspondence is strong enough with the limited number of direct measurements that a correction of the predicted flux is not warranted. The results of these two investigations compared to estimated loadings of Se suggest that volatilization, not permanent sedimentation, is primary removal process for Se from the GSL.

▼ The mechanisms that contribute to the frequent
switching of primary producer communities in shallow lakes on the
Boreal Plains of Alberta, Canada were explored. The lakes tend to
be clear and macrophyte-rich (61% of lakes) or turbid and
phytoplankton-rich (30% of lakes). The study is based on surveys of
twenty-three lakes on the Boreal Plains, Alberta, Canada monitored
from 2001 to 2007. I examined the effect of annual fluctuations in
precipitation on the limnological conditions of the study lakes and
the primary producer communities. Drought concentrated nutrients,
phytoplankton biomass and turbidity, decreasing macrophytes cover
and promoting a phytoplankton-rich regime. Macrophyte abundance was
better predicted by lake depth. During the study SAV cover
increased with lake depth and was significantly higher in 2007
following three years of high water levels. Precipitation-induced
switches occur because the lakes are small, isolated and the water
budget is dominated by precipitation inputs and evaporative outputs
with little surface or groundwater fluxes. The lake and landscape
factors affecting the persistence of the macrophyte-rich regime and
phytoplankton-rich regime were assessed. The macrophyte-rich regime
was more persistent in shallow lakes (max. depth < 112 cm)
with high macroinvertebrate predator biomass (> 580 µg L-1)
and low TP concentration (< 58 µg L-1) (variance explained =
0.66). Lakes with high Daphnia dominance (> 61% of the
Cladocera community) and higher TP concentration (> 67 µg
L-1) were associated with a more persistent phytoplankton-rich
regime (variance explained = 0.50). I examined the importance of
food web structure in maintaining the alternative regimes. Food web
structure appears important in maintaining the resilience of the
macrophyte-rich regime in fishless lakes on the Boreal Plains. The
macrophyte-rich regime is reinforced (stabilized) by top-down
control of phytoplankton and periphyton by macroinvertebrates and
zooplankton. In contrast, food web effects appear weak or absent in
the phytoplankton-rich regime.

▼ Introduction: Schistosomiasis, a neglected tropical disease, often endemic in areas with poor
sanitation, is known to cause physical and mental defects in children and adults alike. Consequently,
a number of strategies with much emphasis on drug administration for morbidity control have been
put in place to combat schistosomiasis in Ghana and the world at large. Unfortunately, children under
six years have been excluded from chemotherapy for several years and it is in recent times that the
WHO has begun putting measures in place to correct this lapse.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of schistosomiasis among children
under six years in two communities along the Weija Lake, and identify risk factors that predispose
them to Schistosoma infections.
Methodology: A cross-sectional study involving the collection of stool and urine samples from 186
children below age six, in two communities along the Weija Lake was done using convenient
sampling. Urine chemistry and parasitological methods, involving Kato Katz and 10ml urine
filtration were used to analyse samples for parasite eggs. Microscopic examination of parasite eggs
was done to detect infection state and determine the prevalence of Schistosoma infections in these
children respectively. Questions were developed to help detect risk factors that expose these children
to the disease.
Results: The average prevalence of schistosomiasis in the two communities studied was 7.9%.
Average prevalence of S. mansoni was 9.2% in the communities; 10.5% in Tomefa and 7.5% in
Manheam. Tomefa recorded only 1 (1.43%) S. haematobium and 6 (10.53%) S. mansoni infections,
where as Manheam had 3 (7.50%) S. mansoni infections with no record of S. haematobium infection.
Risk factors or determinants of infection included zone of community lived in and nearness to the
waterbody.
Conclusion: Schistosoma infections were established in children under six years in Manheam and
Tomefa. Schistosoma mansoni infection was more prevalent compared to S. haematobium.

▼ Two components: Endospore-forming Firmicutes are well
known for their capacity to survive under harsh environmental
conditions through the formation of strong and persistent
structures called endospores. Sediments of the Bay of Vidy (
Lake
Geneva), that are well known for their heavy metal pollution. The
question was: Are endospore-forming Firmicutes predominant members
of the bacterial communities in the most impacted sediments? The
co-occurrence of these two components was effectively observed, and
four particular strains of Clostridia were identified as dominant.
However, their presence could be related to a combination of a
dysfunction of the waste water treatment plant infrastructure and
their survival in the state of an endospore. Episodic flooding
events in the waste water treatment plant is effectively strongly
suspected and supported by the data collected during this thesis.
At the end of this work, the dominance of this particular group of
bacteria does not seem to be uniquely related to their resistance
to high concentrations of heavy metals, but also to the
environmental changes occurring during the waste water treatment
process and/or during the burial of bacterial communities in
sediments.

▼ Les lacs une grande importance écologique et
économique, mais ils sont aussi très vulnérables aux pressions
anthropogéniques (pollution; surpêche), aux changements climatiques
et à l'eutrophisation (hautes concentrations de nutriments). Pour
une gestion environnementale et la mise en place de mesures de
conservation, les dynamiques des écosystèmes lacustres doivent être
connues et les conditions biologiques de référence doivent être
établies afin de mesurer dans le futur la santé écologique des
lacs. Les conditions biologiques de références, comme les
connaissances de la biodiversité et les réponses des écosystèmes
aux perturbations environnementales sont fournies par les
sédiments, qui sont des archives idéales des conditions du passé.
Cette thèse présente la recherche sur la détection et la
diversité des bactéries sporulantes et leur usage comme indicateurs
des conditions écologiques du lac Léman (France-Suisse) au cours
des 100 dernières années. Les endospores sont des structures
résistantes qui sont produites par un groupe de bactéries dans des
conditions de stress. Les endospores dormantes sont déposées avec
le sédiment et sont des capsules biologiques qui reflètent les
conditions environnementales au moment de leur sédimentation.
Les approches métagénomiques sont des études de
séquençage du métagénome entier qui se trouve dans un échantillon
environnemental. Une approche ciblée est réalisée uniquement sur
une partie de la communauté (fraction ciblée). Ces approches
métagénomiques ciblées augmentent la couverture de séquençage et
également la résolution de détection de taxons. Elles résolvent
donc les problèmes connus des approches métagénomiques globales.
Deux méthodes de métagénomique ciblée ont été développées au cours
de cette thèse pour étudier la diversité des bactéries sporulantes
dans les sédiments. La première méthode est basée sur
des amorces moléculaires dessinée pour amplifier un fragment du
gène <i>spo0A</i>, gène spécifique aux bactéries
sporulantes codant pour le facteur de transcription de la
sporulation. De plus, une méthode optimisée d'extraction d'ADN pour
les bactéries sporulantes a été développée. En appliquant ces
méthodes, la diversité des cellules végétatives des bactéries
sporulantes ainsi que les endospores dans le sédiment peut être
étudiée. La deuxième méthode de métagénomique ciblée est
une méthode de traitement avec chaleur et agents chimiques pour
détruire les cellules végétatives, qui sont fragiles, comparé aux
endospores qui résistent au traitement. Avec cette méthode, la
diversité seule des endospores peut être évaluée. Le traitement
pour détruire les cellules végétatives est efficace, 90% des
séquences détectées sont classifiées comme bactéries sporulantes.
Avec une approche globale, seulement 10% des séquences détectées
sont classifiées comme bactéries sporulantes. De plus, la
résolution a été augmentée, en détectant jusqu'à 10 fois plus de
taxon. La meilleure résolution permet de détecter 34 genres de
bactéries sporulantes non révélés avec l'approche…

Brouwershaven: Is there a necessity to adapt the harbour constructions in the harbour of Brouwershaven, or to secure them against the reduced tide in the Grevelingen lake?.

▼ After the big flood in 1953 the Grevelingendam and the Brouwersdam were built as a part of the ‘Deltawerken’. By constructing these dams the Grevelingen was separated from the North Sea, which created the largest salt water
lake in Europe. Several decades later it was discovered that during hot summers the deeper areas of the
lake were leaking oxygen. This leads to a massive mortality of the fauna and flora living in these depths. Since this area is spreading to the shallow areas it was decided by Rijkswaterstaat to bring back a reduced tide into the Grevelingen
lake. The idea is to bring this reduced tide back by constructing a sluice caisson or tidal power plant into the Brouwersdam. This tidal range was determined in a way that the fauna and flora on the islands could remain. Another problem that arises with this reduced tide is that it is unknown what the consequences are for the harbours around the Grevelingen
lake and their structures. Brouwershaven specifically gets its income from the harbour and its tourism. This made the Gemeente Schouwen-Duiveland ask to investigate the consequences of a potential reduced tide in its harbour. This led to the following research question:’ Is there a necessity to adapt the harbour constructions in the harbour of Brouwershaven, or to secure them against the reduced tide in the Grevelingen
lake?’. This research was started by investigating the different boundary conditions such as: • Wind 1,54 m/s Southwest • Occurring water levels +0,7 m NAP and -0,5 m NAP • Not exploded explosives Not taken into account • Soil structure Exists mainly of clay and peat, with a thick sand layer at -16 m NAP • Profile of the harbour bottom Design level of the harbour bottom at -2,75 m NAP • Shipping Limiting factors: ship draught of 2 m and length of 14 m • Flow rate through the guard lock In case of tidal power plant: 0,154 m/s In case of sluice caisson: 0,0719 m/s The new part of the harbour was designed after the closure of the Grevelingen. This is why the option was to check the stability of the structure in this part of harbour. At the end of the calculation it turned out that there was no danger for the structures to become unstable by the reduced tide. However, there is a statistical probability that the scaffoldings as well as the quay wall will be flooded once in a hundred years. The bigger problem that was found was the accessibility of the harbour. The harbour is now only accessible for ships with a draught of 2 m at a water depth of 2,5 m. Which at a lower water level would cause problems to safely enter and manoeuvre in the harbour. In the search for a solution a brainstorm session was held with the construction company ‘Aquavia’. With the help of a multi criteria analysis (MCA) it was found that the best solutions were: • Construction a new harbour in front of the guard lock • Creating a new function for the existing harbour and shifting the harbour function to a new location in front of the guard lock • Demolition of the…

▼ Greenstone belts have been recognized as highly prospective settings for high grade gold mineralization, and are host to a number of world class quartz-carbonate vein deposits, which account for approximately 13% of the cumulative global gold production. In Canada, the Archean Red Lake Greenstone Belt hosts one of Canada’s richest gold districts (cumulative production to 2008 of over 24 M oz at 0.461 oz/t). Recently, there have been many discoveries in the district including the Gold Eagle occurrence (also referred to as the Bruce Channel Deposit and Cochenour project), which has an inferred resource of 2.7 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 11.04 g/t Au. The auriferous ore zones in the Gold Eagle Deposit are hosted in volcano-sedimentary rocks of the Balmer Assemblage (2.99-2.96 Ga), which is controlled by a major north trending, west dipping deformation corridor sub-parallel to the Balmer Assemblage-Bruce Channel Assemblage contact. The vertical extent of the mineralization is controlled by the “Cochenour Thrust” that extends into the adjacent Cochenour-Willans Mine. The four main ore zones are structurally controlled within a NS, west dipping fault corridor and consist of: 1) the quartz-actinolite zone; 2) banded iron formations, 3) sulphide replacement zones and 4) footwall ore zones. The deposit has undergone pervasive pre-ore biotite and carbonate alteration, two gold events with the first associated with silicification and late actinolite-tremolite and the second associated with arsenopyrite sulphidation and iron-rich biotite and post-ore quartz and carbonate veinlets. Late faults (including black line faults) have contributed to the complexity and discontinuity of the ore bodies.

▼ This study examines the contribution of lake-effect precipitation to the coolseason (16 Sep – 15 May) hydroclimate of the Great Salt Lake basin. Lake-effect periods are identified based on the visual inspection of KMTX radar reflectivity imagery.Quantitative lake-effect period precipitation estimates are generated using high temporal resolution radar-derived precipitation estimates to disaggregate daily COOP and SNOTEL precipitation gauge observations. This preserves the daily precipitation gaugetotals and enables the separation of accumulated precipitation into lake-effect and nonlake-effect periods. Evaluation of the method at two stations (Salt Lake City International Airport and Alta-Collins) demonstrates that the method works well forestimating climatological lake-effect period totals, with some random error in hourly estimates.Accumulated precipitation from 128 lake-effect periods indicates that Great Salt Lake-effect period precipitation contributes modestly (8.4% or less) to the cool-seasonprecipitation of the Great Salt Lake basin with the largest contributions to the south and east of the Great Salt Lake. Lake-effect period contributions are highly variable from cool-season to cool-season and are dominated by intense episodic lake-effect periods. The most lake-effect period precipitation falls in the months of Oct and Nov.Lake-effect period precipitation also reaches a maximum when the 700-hPa wind is between 300-360°, corresponding to the longest fetch across the Great Salt Lake.

▼ Since 1993, Devils
Lake in North Dakota has experienced a prolonged rise in
lake level and flooding of the lake’s neighboring areas within the closed basin system. Understanding the relative contribution of climate change and land use change is needed to explain the historical rise in
lake level, and to evaluate the potential impact of anthropogenic climate change upon future
lake conditions and management. Four methodologies were considered to examine the relative contribution of climatic and human landscape drivers to streamflow variations: statistical, ecohydrologic, physically-based modeling, and elasticity of streamflow; for this study, ecohydrologic and climate elasticity were selected. Agricultural statistics determined that Towner and Ramsey counties underwent a crop conversion from small grains to row crops within the last 30 years. Through the Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), a 10 meter resolution DEM confirmed the presence of innumerable wetland depressions within the non-contributing area of the Mauvais Coulee Sub-basin. Although the ecohydrologic and climate elasticity methodologies are the most commonly used in literature, they make assumptions that are not applicable to basin conditions. A modified and more informed approach to the use of these methods was applied to account for these unique sub-basin characteristics. Ultimately, hydroclimatic variability was determined as the largest driver to streamflow variation in Mauvais Coulee and Devils
Lake.

▼ A Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science-Biology
To date the majority of food web research in lentic systems has focused on pelagic
primary (phytoplankton) and secondary (zooplankton) production as the primary energy sources
for higher trophic level production. Recently research has provided evidence that benthic
secondary production of primary consumers can impact pelagic fish production and food web
structure in lakes. I calculated secondary production of chironomids in Lake Winnebago
Wisconsin where previous research has shown that lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) rely
heavily on the benthos (chironomids) as a food source. I also calculated lake sturgeon annual
production from literature-derived data using the instantaneous growth method in order to
determine if there is sufficient chironomid production to support the current lake sturgeon
population in Lake Winnebago. Benthic samples were collected with an Ekman dredge at four
profundal sites on eleven dates from spring 2008 through spring 2009. Instantaneous growth
rates for seven chironomid length-classes at five thermal regimes were measured in the
laboratory. Mean annual production of Chironomidae using the instantaneous growth rate
method was 7.59 g dry mass (DM) m-2 yr-1. The subfamily Chironominae accounted for 5.56 g
DM m-2 yr-1 and Tanypodinae production was 2.04 g DM m-2 yr-1. Lake sturgeon annual
production was estimated at 0.044 g dry mass (DM) m-2 yr-1. Mean annual density of
Chironomidae was 2714 m-2 and mean biomass was 2.75 g DM m-2. In 2008-2009 there was
sufficient chironomid secondary production to support the lake sturgeon population in Lake
Winnebago. The annual production estimates for chironomids are higher than many other
chironomid production rates from lakes in North America, presumably due the eutrophic
conditions of Lake Winnebago.

▼ This study examines historical beach deposits formed in Walker
Lake, Winnemucca
Lake, and
Lake Tahoe to characterize the processes that lead to the construction of beach ridges along lacustrine shorelines and compares the volume of individual shoreline features to the lengths of time under which they formed. Maximum fetch distances of < 50 km limit waves generated in these basins. Waves that are capable of significant geomorphic work are generated during events that achieve wind speeds > 10 m/s for 3 or more hours. A 30-year wind record from the Dead Camel Mountains, NV indicate these wind events occur 5-24 times per year. Modeled maximum total wave swash elevations for the observed significant wind events range from 0.93- 1.93 m across the three lakes studied, which is in general agreement with heights of observed beach ridges. Total incident wave energy delivered to the shorelines of interest for the years 1999, 2007, and 2017 ranged from 0 - 2.5x108 J/m across the three basins, indicating total wave energy delivered per year can be highly variable. The volumetric analysis of historical beach ridges at Walker
Lake showed a strong correlation between time of formation and increased volume, therefore, the individual volumes of beach ridges can be used as an indicator to infer relative durations of
lake-level stability. By applying the volume vs. time of formation relationship developed on the historical shorelines, we estimate
lake levels were sustained at 1262 m elevation for ~4.5 - 5.5 years in Walker
Lake during the late Holocene highstand around 3500 cal yr. BP. When used to estimate durations of time of
lake-level stability, volumetric analysis of beach ridges presents a new technique to further refine pre-historic
lake-level curves on an annual to decadal timescale. However, given large variability in shoreline volumes and rates of development across basins, it is important to acknowledge differences in sediment supply, wind conditions, wave energy, shoreline equilibrium, and other parameters relating to beach ridge formation before applying volumetric relationships from one
lake to another.

▼ This study investigated bacteriological, hydrocarbons and heavy metal pollution status on Lake Tanganyika in Mpulungu area in the period of October 1999 to March 2000. The purpose of this study was to identify the origin and sources of bacteriological, hydrocarbon and heavy metal pollution on the lake. The objectives were to (i) identify the sources and causes of bacteriological,
oil and heavy metal pollution; (ii) determine the magnitude of bacteriological, oil and heavy metal pollution in the lake water; and (iii) assess the epidemiological pattern of water-borne diseases in Mpulungu area.The responses from interviews with the people generally revealed that there are waste materials being introduced on the lake by local people as well as fishing companies. Since many people depend on the lake water for domestic use, chances are that there is a relationship between the
quality of water and the spread of water related diseases in the area.In order to determine the status of the water in Mpulungu in terms of bacteriological pollution,samples of lake and river water were analysed for coliform bacteria because this type of bacteria is used as an indicator organism for bacteriological pollution. To determine the amount of oil and
heavy metals in the lake water, sediments were analysed using acetone/chloroform and Flame Atomic Absorption respectively.
Analysis of data revealed that none of the five sampling stations, on the lake, namely, Mbete Bay,Musende Bay, Ngwenya/Harbour, and Lunzua River road bridge and one township tap, had coliform bacteria below the WHO Permissible Standard for Drinking Water of 0 colonies/100 m/s.Musende Bay where all fishing companies and the harbour are situated, recorded the highest percentage of oil/g in sediments of 0.4 %/g, which was above zero Maximum Permissible levels of oil for WHO Guidelines for Drinking Water. During the study, it was found that there was a strong relationship between the percentage of oil in sediment and the percentage of fine grains in
sediments.The study found that there were minute or close to zero concentrations of copper and aluminum in Mpulungu Bays. Chituta Bay was found to contain lead at the level of (0.04mg/l) above the Maximum Permissible levels according to WHO Guidelines for Drinking Water of O.Olmg/1.
It is concluded that though at slow rate and in small concentrations, Lake Tanganyika is actually receiving substances, which might degrade and destroy the lake permanently. Lake Tanganyika being in a rift valley and located in the tropics has very high temperatures throughout the year.This high temperature favour the growth of some dangerous pathogens and also favours the
decomposition of material.It is recommended that Mpulungu Township Council should improve the water purification system, and set up good wastewater and solid waste control strategies. Finally there is need for
more research on lead pollution, the relationship between water-borne diseases and coliform bacteria in the water and the assessment of the effect of pollution on…

▼ Denitrifying bacteria (95 in number) were isolated from the four Soda Lakes of Ethiopia
namely,
Lake Abijata,
Lake Arenguade,
Lake Chitu and
Lake Shalla. Similar species of
denitrifying bacteria were identified from the four lakes. The sequence and phylogeny relation
of the isolates show that Halomonas campisalis, Halomonas salina, Halomonas nitritophilus,
Bacillus cohnii as well as Bacillus pseudofirmus exhibited high similarities with the isolates
studied. In addition, 9 isolates from the four lakes show similarity with the novel bacterial
group, Nitricola lacisaponesis. Fast denitrifyers were among the isolates that are capable of
producing N2 gas only in 2 hours after inoculation. Molecular, morphological and some
biochemical studies conducted on the DN-C18 isolate from L. Chitu, showed high similarity
on all accounts with previously obtained isolate BACC180 from L. Chitu. These two isolates
showed high denitrification activity and tolerance to high pH and salt concentration. Both
isolates were found to be closely related the Halomonas sp.

▼ Lake whitefish (Coregonus clupeaformis) are an ecologically, culturally and economically important species throughout the Great Lakes. Studying the larval period of ontogeny is important to increasing knowledge of population dynamics and monitoring ecological changes in
lake whitefish populations. Larval
lake whitefish have been studied across the Great Lakes since the 1930’s; however, there are major gaps in our understanding of the factors that affect distribution and abundance of larval
lake whitefish. The goal of this study was to investigate the distribution and abundance of larval
lake whitefish in a Great Lakes embayment, using Stokes Bay,
Lake Huron as a case study. Plankton samples and environmental data were collected from mid-spring to early summer during 2011 and 2012. Plankton tows in 2011 (n=71, 21 April-03 June) revealed relatively high densities of larval
lake whitefish as compared to other Great Lakes studies. Overall there was little relationship between environmental variables (temperature, dissolved oxygen, conductivity, depth) and larval
lake whitefish distribution and abundance. Plankton tows in 2012 (n=25, 25 April-23 May) revealed a virtual absence of larval
lake whitefish in Stokes Bay. The apparent 2012 year-class failure was concurrent with unseasonably warm temperatures and reduced ice coverage. Temperature-related hypotheses are evaluated in context with other possible explanations of a general year-class failure of
lake whitefish during early life history.

▼ Different areas in Latvias youngest National Park Rāzna has been visited and analyzed. One objectivewas to find out if ecotourism is a possibility and what improvements need to be made. Latvia has avery old history of nature conservation. Objectives to protect valuable species and habitats for thefuture are influenced by factors such as economy and politics. The laws and regulations concerningenvironmental care are dependent on the processes and conditions that have contributed to formingthem. What is considered normality in Sweden can be completely different in Latvia eventhough theintentions and wished results are the same. The conclusion is that there is potential for ecotourism,although many factors must be considered and disadvantageous situations be avoided in the natureprotecting process.

▼ Tonle Sap
Lake in Cambodia is arguably the world’s most productive freshwater ecosystems and the dominant source of animal protein for the country. The rapid rise of hydropower schemes, deforestation, land development and climate change impacts in the Mekong River Basin are now reasons of concern for Tonle Sap Lake’s ecological health and its role in future food security. We identify significant recent warming of
lake temperature and survey how each of these anthropogenic perturbations in Tonle Sap’s floodplain and the Mekong River Basin may be influencing this trend. Between 1981 and 2014 the lake’s dry-season monthly average temperature increased by 0.03°C year-1, largely in-sync with warming trends of the local air temperature and upstream rivers. Impacts of deforestation and agriculture development in the lake’s floodplain showed a high correlation with an increase in the number of warm days observed in the
lake, particularly in its southeast region (agriculture R2 = 0.61 and deforestation R2 = 0.39). Between 2003 and 2018, 79 dams totaling in 72 km3 of volumetric capacity were constructed in the Mekong River Basin. This dam development coincided with a decreasing trend in number of dry-season warm days per year in the lower Mekong River, while Tonle Sap Lake’s number of dry-season warm days continued to increase. This study revealed that Tonle Sap Lake’s temperature trends are highly influenced by temperature trends in local climate, agriculture development and deforestation of the lake’s watershed. Although there was no noticeable impact observed of upstream dam development in the Mekong basin, local-to-regional agricultural and land management of the lake’s watershed appear as effective strategies for maintaining a stable thermal regime in the
lake for maximum ecosystem health.

▼ A series of tufa mounds is found within the northern basin of
Lake Abert, located within southeastern Oregon. The mounds have been divided into 3 main groups and 1 sub-group (A1, A2, B, and C) based upon spatial and textural considerations. Mound groups appear at two different elevations: the 1310 meter elevation (Groups A2, B, and C), and the 1318 meter elevation (Group A1). Published carbon age dating of the
Lake Abert 1325 meter strandline and the 1310 meter strandline indicates that the mounds were formed during the Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene. Facies analysis and mineralogical analysis of the mounds indicates that the mounds were primarily formed subaqueously during a
lake regression, supporting oxygen isotope data from previous researchers. Magnetometer data within Groups A1 and A2 suggests that the mounds are associated with a series of magnetic lows which are oriented in joint sets (NW-SE, and N-S) which match the orientation of faulting within the region. While there appears to be another early mound building episode, no direct evidence confirms this.

▼ The Kariba Reservoir is one of the largest man-made lakes in the world. It was created after the impoundment of the Zambezi River at the head of the Kariba Gorge primarily to provide hydro-electric power for mining and industrial development in the then Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland (which is now Zambia, Zimbabwe and Malawi). Impoundment started in 1958, filling the lake for the first time in August 1963. Thousands of people and their livestock were displaced as their dwellings and fields got submerged, giving way to the 180.6 km^ Kariba Lake covering over 5,000 km^ of the Zambezi Valley. Paradoxically, extreme poverty and hunger have become endemic among the riparian local communities in Zambia and Zimbabwe.This study looks at the implications of converting the Kariba from a single to a multipurpose reservoir with a view to expand its contribution to meeting Goal Number I of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), namely. Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2015. The research involved the collection of extractive water usage data from the Zambezi River riparian interests between Kazungula on the Zambia/Zimbabwe/Botswana tripartite border point and the Kariba Dam, and simulating hydropower generation at Kariba under average hydrologic conditions as well as current and projected installed capacities. The simulation procedure was accomplished with the use of the HEC-3 Reservoir System Analysis for Conservation computer programme.
Data collected from the field by way of personal interviews and pumping / usage estimations indicate that an estimated total of 2,540,052 m^day"' (approximately 29 m^/s) is abstracted from the Zambezi River and Lake Kariba between Kazungula and Kariba Dam for non-hydropower usage. This figure comprises abstractions of 165,167 m^day"' on the Zambian side and 2,374,885 m^day' on the Zimbabwean side. For purposes of assessing the impact of extractive water usage on hydropower generation at Kariba Dam in the short to medium term, this study considers an abstraction level of 71 m^/s comprising current usage (as indicated above) and the 2020-25 planned abstraction. The simulation results indicate an insignificant impact on hydro-power generation at Kariba Dam.
The study therefore concludes that multiple usage of Lake Kariba does not impinge on its original single-purpose design for hydropower generation at Kariba Dam. In this regard, the study recommends taking full advantage of the extensive Lake Kariba waters to prop up irrigated agriculture in order to contribute to the eventual attainment of MDG Number 1 among the riparian communities and beyond.

▼ Mercury is one of the most toxic trace elements that is found in the environment, and has no recognized biological functions. Nevertheless, it is being introduced at profoundly alarming rates through various anthropogenic activities. The global cycle of Mercury (Hg) is a result of slow and complex bio-physiochemical transformations, involving various environmental pathways, and influencing its speciatiation into the highly toxic methylated form known as methyl mercury. This has resulted in bioaccumulation and biomagnification of mercury in the various water bodies of The United States, including the Great Salt Lake (GSL), Utah. The GSL watershed and the surrounding wetlands are of critical importance, and are instrumental in the sustenance of the regional ecosystem. Recent studies have reported alarmingly high concentrations of mercury in the Great Salt Lake (GSL), posing serious questions on its ecological viability. Bacteria-mediated methylation of mercury in wetland sediments has come to be an issue of recent concern and this is the focus of interest in this study. The research approach employed involved the synoptic analysis of the Total Mercury (THg) and Methyl Mercury (MeHg) concentration in the water column and sediments of the Farmington Bay (FB) in GSL, Utah Lake, and upper and lower sections of the Jordan River. Further, sediment samples were collected at three locations from a site in the wetlands of FB duck clubs to evaluate (1) the rate of mercury methylation, and (2) the ecology of sulfate reducers, which possibly participated in mercury methylation. The total and methyl mercury concentrations in the water column of Farmington Bay analyzed were 19.05±9.48 ng/L and 1.49±1.19 ng/L, respectively; the Utah Lake water column and the corresponding sediments total and methyl mercury concentrations were 2.74±0.393ng/L, 0.0536±0.024 ng/L and 27.13±2.58 ug/Kg, 0.0717±0.0235 ^ig/Kg, respectively. In the upper section of the Jordan River, mercury concentrations in the water column and the sediments estimated were 19.95±0.78 ng/L, 0.18±0.08 ng/L and 18.5±0.282 fig/Kg, 0.021 ±0.0 (Jg/Kg, respectively while, in the lower sections were 26.9±0.78 ng/L, 0.64±0.07 ng/L and 79.05±29.63 |ng/Kg, 0.15±0.023 ug/Kg, respectively. The average mercury methylation rates for the three sites in the FB duck clubs were estimated to be 0.018±0.001 /day. The phylogenetic analysis and diversity of the sulfate reducers has been analyzed and reported. The majority of the clones belong to the family of Desulfobacteraceae, signifying that the acetate-utilizing family of Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) may be more prevalent and the phylogenetic study established diversity within the sulfate reducers belonging to the four major genuses of Desulfovibrio, Desulfobacter, and Desulfonema.

▼ Our understanding of the origin and formation of the
various components of meteorites, and ultimately understanding the
formation of the early Solar System, comes from our knowledge of
the asteroidal alteration processes and modifications that such
processes induce on these components. The majority of our knowledge
in this area comes from the meteorites that have been subjected to
some kind of terrestrial modification which has partly or
completely erased any prior history of its components. Meteorites
unaffected by terrestrial modification are rare but invaluable.
Tagish Lake is one such meteorite; due to its fall history it is
considered to be the best candidate for studying the alteration
history of the asteroidal parent body. Four samples (TL5b, TL11h,
TL11i, and TL11v) from the pristine collection of the Tagish Lake
meteorite were studied to characterize and understand its
alteration history. Based on petrological and mineralogical
observations I conclude that the Tagish Lake parent body was a
heterogeneous mixture of anhydrous precursors of nebular origin,
which were brecciated and aqueously altered to various degree. The
degree to which the studied samples experienced aqueous alteration
is in the order TL5b < TL11h < TL11i. Specimen TL11v,
which consists of disaggregated material, is heterogeneous on the
microscale and encompasses the petrologic characteristics of other
three specimens as seen through EPMA observation. The whole-rock
geochemistry confirms the inferred alteration sequence observed
through mineralogy. There is a positive correlation with aqueously
mobile trace elements, such as K, Ba, and Br, which appear to be
controlled by an increase of phyllosilicates from least to most
altered samples. Yet, the homogeneity of other elements suggests
that elemental mass transfer occurred on a localized scale and
aqueous alteration was isochemical for these elements. Oxygen
isotopic results from my study corroborate the conclusion that the
range of variations observed in the Tagish Lake meteorite covers
the oxygen isotopic composition seen in all other carbonaceous
chondrites. Such variation found in one meteorite suggests that the
Tagish Lake parent asteroid sampled the material from different
oxygen isotope reservoirs, perhaps 16O-rich and 17O-rich gaseous
reservoirs.
