	Lead cycling in estuaries, illustrated by the Gironde estuary, France
		The cycling of lead in estuaries involves a complex exchange between dissolved and paniculate phases.
		In macrotidal estuaries such as the Gironde (France), dissolved lead is adsorbed onto particles due to an increase in turbidity and in the specific surface area of particles in the tidal estuary.
		In the lower estuary a mobilization of exchangeable and carbonate lead occurs simultaneously with a coagulation of organic dissolved lead associated with iron−manganese hydrous oxides.

		By the means of microchemistry of otolith techniques, we intended to follow the movements of eel populations from the lower part of Gironde-Garonne-Dordogne watershed, through water masses of various salinity in order to both characterise the type of life strategy and evaluate the level of exchanges between fractions of population.
		Therefore, thirty five eel otoliths from Arcachon lagoon, Pertuis charentais, Gironde estuary (mesohaline zone) and Garonne river (freshwater zone without tide influence) were collected and analysed with the Wavelenght Dispersive Spectrometry technique.
		Meanwhile, two other life history types are related to 30% of individuals from the Gironde estuary and consistent with a change in environment during their growth phase.

	The Estuary Guide
		For most estuaries the change in sea level since the last ice age has had a major influence on their evolution.
		The subsequent development of the estuary then reflects the rate of sea level change, any uplift, subsidence or consolidation of the landmass, and the available sediment supply.
		Because of the way these various parameters interact it is common for an estuary to exhibit periods of transgression, when the estuary moves landward, and progression, when it moves seaward, over the time scale of centuries to millennia.
