💡 See this nice work by Tetyana Gilevska, exploring how anoxic sediment microbiomes break down naproxen (a widely used painkiller) in coastal areas impacted by wastewater discharge. A good example of how microbiomes at the land–sea interface help mitigate the footprint of pharmaceutical pollution.

Long-term nitrogen burial exceeds denitrification in global fjords - Nature Communications
Contrary to previous assumptions, nitrogen burial – not denitrification – dominates nitrogen loss in fjords, accounting for up to 18% of oceanic nitrogen burial. Deoxygenation may yet alter the future...

Pleased to share our new publication in @aslo.org L&O! We used #radium-224 to quantify vertical mixing and benthic silicate fluxes across the #Baltic Sea. Read more here (fully open access): doi.org/10.1002/lno.... With (and others): @barefootlab.bsky.social @biogeoste.bsky.social
Radium isotopes quantify vertical mixing and reveal large benthic silicate fluxes in anoxic deep waters
Benthic fluxes are important sources of nutrients and dissolved carbon to the water column. Yet, most approaches for quantifying benthic fluxes are labor intensive and cover relatively small areas of...

My last PhD chapter is out! Combined GHG fluxes reveal a net carbon sink across a glacier-ocean continuum — glacier exports CH₄ to coastal waters, but strong CO₂ uptake outweighs GHG emissions. 🌊❄️ Read more: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....
Combined CH4, N2O, and CO2 Fluxes Reveal a Net Carbon Sink Across a Glacier‐Ocean Continuum
A rapidly-retreating marine-terminating glacier exported CH4 to nearshore waters N2O was undersaturated near the glacier front The regional CO2 sink greatly outweighs CH4 and N2O emissions
