Fate of effluent-borne contaminants beneath septic tank drainfields overlying a Karst aquifer.
Brian G. Katz,Dale W. Griffin,Peter B. McMahon,Harmon S. Harden,Edgar Wade,Richard W. Hicks,Jeffrey P. Chanton +6 more
TL;DR: Groundwater quality effects from septic tanks were investigated in the Woodville Karst Plain, an area that contains numerous sinkholes and a thin veneer of sands and clays overlying the Upper Floridan aquifer, with concerns about elevated nitrate concentrations in the UFA.

Organic matter cycling across the sulfate-methane transition zone of the Santa Barbara Basin, California Borderland
Tomoko Komada,David J. Burdige,Huan-Lei Li,Cédric Magen,Cédric Magen,Jeffrey P. Chanton,Abraham K. Cada +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated organic matter cycling in the sulfate-methane transition zone (SMTZ) of the organic-rich sediments of the Santa Barbara Basin, California Borderland, and examined the occurrence of organoclastic SO42− reduction (oSR) within this zone using bulk solute profiles and Δ14C and δ13C values of selected carbon pools.

Isotope fractionation effects by diffusion and methane oxidation in landfill cover soils
TL;DR: In this article, a controlled laboratory experiment revealed that this approach underestimated the methane oxidation efficiency because it underestimated the importance of molecular diffusion during gas transport, which is not associated with isotopic fractionation, and concluded that the isotope method as currently applied produces a conservative estimate of methane oxidation by landfill cover soils.

Observations on the methane oxidation capacity of landfill soils.
Jeffrey P. Chanton,Tarek Abichou,Claire Langford,Kurt A. Spokas,Gary R. Hater,Roger B. Green,Doug Goldsmith,Morton A. Barlaz +7 more
TL;DR: The data indicate that an effective way to increase the % oxidation of a landfill cover is to limit the amount of CH(4) delivered to it, which should not be considered as a constant value.

Sustained deposition of contaminants from the Deepwater Horizon spill
Beizhan Yan,Uta Passow,Jeffrey P. Chanton,Eva-Maria Nöthig,Vernon L. Asper,Julia Sweet,Masha Pitiranggon,Arne R. Diercks,Dorothy K. Pak +8 more
TL;DR: Sedimentation with diatoms accumulated contaminants that were dispersed in the water column and transported them downward, where they were concentrated into the upper centimeters of the seafloor, potentially leading to sustained impact on benthic ecosystems.
