Nitrate attenuation in groundwater: a review of biogeochemical controlling processes.

TL;DR: Biogeochemical processes controlling nitrate attenuation in aquifers are critically reviewed and denitrifying bacteria are essentially ubiquitous in the subsurface, the critical limiting factors are oxygen and electron donor concentration and availability and variability in other environmental conditions appears to be less important.

Nutrient inputs to the coastal ocean through submarine groundwater discharge: controls and potential impact

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the key factors determining the fluxes of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) associated with submarine groundwater discharge and presented a compilation of measured rates, in particular, the water residence time and the redox conditions in coastal aquifers and sediments determine fluxes and ratios of N and P in SGD.

Multicomponent reactive transport modeling in variably saturated porous media using a generalized formulation for kinetically controlled reactions

TL;DR: A generalized formulation for kinetically controlled reactions has been developed and incorporated into a multicomponent reactive transport model to facilitate the investigation of a large variety of problems involving inorganic and organic chemicals in variably saturated media as mentioned in this paper.

Redox Processes and Water Quality of Selected Principal Aquifer Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the reduction/oxidation (redox) conditions in 15 principal aquifer (PA) systems of the United States, and their impact on several water quality issues, were assessed from a large data base collected by the National Water-Quality Assessment Program of the USGS.

Redox Processes and Water Quality of Selected Principal Aquifer Systems

TL;DR: It is found that samples indicating mixed redox processes provide information on redox heterogeneity that is useful for assessing common water quality issues and should be included in routine water quality monitoring programs whenever possible.

Ferrozine---a new spectrophotometric reagent for iron

TL;DR: The ferroin group has been known to react as bidentate ligands with certain metal ions such as ferrous, cuprous, and cobaltous, to give colored complex species.

Aqueous Environmental Geochemistry

TL;DR: The Geochemistry of Clay Minerals: Actinides and Their Daughter and Fission Products as mentioned in this paper, a book about the geochemistry of clay minerals, is a good starting point for this discussion.

Determination of the sedimentary microbial biomass by extractible lipid phosphate.

TL;DR: The high content of plasmalogen phospholipids in these sediments suggests that the anaerobic prokaryotic Clostridia are found in the aerobic sedimentary horizon, which would require anaer aerobic microhabitats in the aerated zones.

Biology of anaerobic microorganisms

TL;DR: The Principles and Limits of Anaerobic Degradation: Environmental and Technological Aspects (B. Vogels, et al.) are published.

The use of chromium reduction in the analysis of reduced inorganic sulfur in sediments and shales

TL;DR: In this article, a chromium reduction method was used for the determination of reduced inorganic sulfur compounds (pyrite + elemental sulfur + acid volatile monosulfides) in modern sediments and shales.
