Natural processes and human influences can cause several environmental issues upon urban and rural aquatic systems, especially in deltaic environs. This study was aimed to assess the vertical variation in the physical-chemical and lithological characteristics of core sediments. 14 undisturbed short sediment cores were collected from soft lacustrine sediments in various shallow lakes situated in the Matita-Merhei interdistributary depression, Danube Delta, Romania. Sediment samples were measured for temperature, pH...

Water quality was investigated in Lake Matita, part of the Danube Delta Biosphere Reserve, Romania, to assess the overall status of the freshwater ecosystem, in accordance with the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD ? 2000/60/EC), which addresses all surface waters i.e., rivers, lakes, transitional waters and coastal waters in the EU. From this perspective, a specific physical and chemical analysis of surface water samples was performed, collected in different sectors of the lake, during the summer of June 2020. Se...

This study provides preliminary results on grain size distribution in the Albian Ciucas Conglomerates located in southern Eastern Carpathians, Romania. The present research is the first quantitative study of Ciucas Conglomerates using modern techniques aiming at understanding basic transport processes and depositional environment of this unit. Grain size analysis was carried out on digitized contours of clasts from photographs of representative outcrops in the Ciucas Conglomerate area comprising 18 photo-sample lo...
