Elucidating Temporal Variability in Organic Matter Sources and Cycling in Tropical Rivers
Tropical rivers are large sources of carbon to the atmosphere and the ocean. The composition of riverine organic matter (OM) affects the size of these fluxes by governing how much carbon will be returned to the atmosphere while in transit versus exported to the ocean, where carbon can be …

Impacts of artisanal and large scale gold mining on tropical rivers in West Africa: A case study from the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana
… more than 70 developing countries, mostly in the tropical regions, still practise artisanal and small scale gold mining (ASGM). ASGM commonly operates along rivers and streams for easy access to process water and as receptacles for mine water discharges. A largely unregulated industry, ASGM …

Isotopic constraints on sources and cycling of riverine dissolved inorganic carbon in the Amazon Basin
… biogeochemical functioning. Amazonian and humid tropical rivers represent a large, neglected source of CO2 to the atmosphere. Carbon isotopes are invaluable tools for examining sources and cycling of inorganic carbon. However, 14C-DIC has never been analyzed in Amazonia, while 13C-DIC studies …

Fluvial and climatic controls on tropical agriculture and adaptation strategies in data-scarce contexts
… two of the main environmental factors affecting tropical farming practices: river-floodplain dynamics and climate change. Despite data-related constraints, the environment of tropical rural areas still provides a unique opportunity to study several near-natural processes, such as the …
