[HTML][HTML] Ice sheets as a significant source of highly reactive nanoparticulate iron to the oceans

JR Hawkings, JL Wadham, M Tranter… - Nature …, 2014 - nature.com
The Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets cover~\n10% of global land surface, but are rarely
considered as active components of the global iron cycle. The ocean waters around both ice …

[HTML][HTML] Ice sheets as a missing source of silica to the polar oceans

JR Hawkings, JL Wadham, LG Benning… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Ice sheets play a more important role in the global silicon cycle than previously appreciated.
Input of dissolved and amorphous particulate silica into natural waters stimulates the growth …

Greenland melt drives continuous export of methane from the ice-sheet bed

…, AJ Tedstone, J Telling, EA Bagshaw, JR Hawkings… - Nature, 2019 - nature.com
Ice sheets are currently ignored in global methane budgets 1 , 2 . Although ice sheets have
been proposed to contain large reserves of methane that may contribute to a rise in …

Bioavailability of dissolved organic matter varies with anthropogenic landcover in the Upper Mississippi River Basin

…, KP Wickland, RG Striegl, DC Podgorski, JR Hawkings… - Water Research, 2023 - Elsevier
Anthropogenic conversion of forests and wetlands to agricultural and urban landcovers impacts
dissolved organic matter (DOM) within streams draining these catchments. Research on …

Potentially bioavailable iron delivery by iceberg-hosted sediments and atmospheric dust to the polar oceans

R Raiswell, JR Hawkings, LG Benning… - …, 2016 - bg.copernicus.org
Iceberg-hosted sediments and atmospheric dust transport potentially bioavailable iron to the
Arctic and Southern oceans as ferrihydrite. Ferrihydrite is nanoparticulate and more soluble, …

[HTML][HTML] Globally elevated chemical weathering rates beneath glaciers

…, Y Ding, JR Hawkings, JC Yde, R Raiswell… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Physical erosion and chemical weathering rates beneath glaciers are expected to increase
in a warming climate with enhanced melting but are poorly constrained. We present a global …

Enhanced trace element mobilization by Earth's ice sheets

JR Hawkings, ML Skidmore… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Trace elements sustain biological productivity, yet the significance of trace element mobilization
and export in subglacial runoff from ice sheets is poorly constrained at present. Here, we …

[HTML][HTML] Biolabile ferrous iron bearing nanoparticles in glacial sediments

JR Hawkings, LG Benning, R Raiswell… - Earth and Planetary …, 2018 - Elsevier
Glaciers and ice sheets are a significant source of nanoparticulate Fe, which is potentially
important in sustaining the high productivity observed in the near-coastal regions proximal to …

Anthropogenic landcover impacts fluvial dissolved organic matter composition in the Upper Mississippi River Basin

…, KP Wickland, RG Striegl, DC Podgorski, JR Hawkings… - Biogeochemistry, 2021 - Springer
Landcover changes have altered the natural carbon cycle; however, most landcover studies
focus on either forest conversion to agriculture or urban, rarely both. We present differences …

Constraints on the timing and extent of deglacial grounding line retreat in West Antarctica

…, B Boehman, C Davis, JR Hawkings… - AGU …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Projections of Antarctica's contribution to future sea level rise are associated with significant
uncertainty, in part because the observational record is too short to capture long‐term …
