Redox Conditions in Selected Principal Aquifers of the United States [More info]: Summarizes measurements of ground-water chemistry that affect the vulnerability of aquifers to contamination. Data are from aquifers throughout the conterminous US and Alaska.
Response of Florida shelf ecosystems to climate change: from macro to micro scales [More info]: Study of the effects of ocean acidification on regional carbonate processes, changes in individual estuaries, and organism-level response.
Response of lake chemistry to atmospheric deposition and climate in selected Class I wilderness areas in the western United States, 1993-2009 [More info]: Sulfate deposition to high-elevation areas has decreased here as a result of reductions in SO2 emissions. Nitrate deposition did not change, whereas ammonium deposition increased, particularly at sites near urban and agricultural areas.
