Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the potential risks associated with mercury in subsea oil and gas pipelines in Australia
F. Gissi,Darren J. Koppel,Alexandria N. Boyd,Fenny Kho,Rebecca von Hellfeld,Stuart J. Higgins,Simon C. Apte,Tom Cresswell +7 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors present a synthesis of information on mercury cycling in the marine environment including key drivers of methylation in sediments and ocean waters, existing models to predict methylmercury concentrations in sediment, and toxicological effects to marine biota.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geochemical factors affecting the solubility of copper in seawater
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how concentration, reaction time and changes to precipitate composition/mineral formation affect copper solubility in seawater, thus influencing metal bioavailability and toxicity in the field and laboratory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Severe cyanobacterial blooms in an Australian lake; causes and factors controlling succession patterns.
Jordan A. Facey,Laura E. Michie,Josh J. King,James N. Hitchcock,Simon C. Apte,Simon M. Mitrovic +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the role of thermal stratification and nutrient cycling in structuring the cyanobacterial community and provided insights into the environmental factors driving the proliferation of the relatively new, potentially toxic cyanobacterium C. ovalisporum in Australian waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Succession Signals the Initiation of Acidification in Mining Wastewaters
David Camacho,Gerdhard L Jessen,Jiro F. Mori,Jiro F. Mori,Simon C. Apte,Chad V. Jarolimek,Lesley A. Warren,Lesley A. Warren +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the sulfur geochemistry and microbial community structure of seven circumneutral wastewaters from two Canadian nickel mines collected in summer, winter, and spring, in 2014 and 2015, were characterized.
Posted ContentDOI
Acidity and sulfur oxidation intermediate concentrations controlled by O2-driven partitioning of sulfur oxidizing bacteria in a mine tailings impoundment
K. J. Whaley-Martin,Lin-Xing Chen,T. Colebrander Nelson,J. Gordon,Rose S. Kantor,L. E. Twible,S. Marshall,Laura Rossi,Benoit Bessette,Christian Baron,Simon C. Apte,Jillian F. Banfield,Lesley A. Warren +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated biological sulfur oxidation in mine tailings impoundments, integrating sulfur geochemistry, genome-resolved metagenomics and metatranscriptomics, and demonstrated oxygen driven niche partitioning of SOB and their metabolic pathways that explain acidity generation and thiosulfate persistence.
