The sedimentary architecture and spatial variations of dryland ephemeral fluvial systems (2021)
Thesis
Priddy, C. L. (2021). The sedimentary architecture and spatial variations of dryland ephemeral fluvial systems. (Thesis). Keele University

Ancient dryland continental basins commonly comprise sedimentary fill that records the activity of both fluvial and aeolian environments. Despite extensive studies of dryland ephemeral fluvial systems, detailed three dimensional facies models for the...

Urban Metabolism: An integrated approach to exploring the challenges of resource management for urban sustainability in developing countries (2021)
Thesis
Khalifa, Y. A. (2021). Urban Metabolism: An integrated approach to exploring the challenges of resource management for urban sustainability in developing countries. (Thesis). Keele University

Driven by climate change and scarcity of resources, resource management has become crucial for urban sustainability worldwide. There is an increasing interest in urban metabolism as a concept as it enables researchers to identify environment-related...

Architectural elements in fluvial multi-storey sandbodies: deposition, preservation and numerical representation (2021)
Thesis
Mitten, A. J. (2021). Architectural elements in fluvial multi-storey sandbodies: deposition, preservation and numerical representation. (Thesis). Keele University

The recoverable proportion of known mobile resources from fluvial multi-storey sandbodies (MSBs) reservoirs is relatively low. The low recovery proportion can be attributed to a lack of a three-dimensional understanding of the reservoir architecture,...

Livelihoods, vulnerability, and adaptation to climate change of small-holder farmers in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (2021)
Thesis
Mwasha, S. I. (2021). Livelihoods, vulnerability, and adaptation to climate change of small-holder farmers in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. (Thesis). Keele University

Climate change is expected to reduce food security in many African countries, and yield from rain-fed agriculture is projected to decline significantly. Future warming will persist even if current agreements on emission controls are put into action b...

Characterising the nature and extent of contamination at a restored coal mining area in Staffordshire and assessment of remediation options (2020)
Thesis
Arab, K. A. H. (2020). Characterising the nature and extent of contamination at a restored coal mining area in Staffordshire and assessment of remediation options. (Thesis). Keele University

Mine site management, monitoring and restoration are important, long term environmental activities that are needed in many regions of the UK and around the world. This project characterised the nature and level of contamination at a former coal minin...

Sediment deposition and preservation in Aeolian Systems: A comparison of contemporary and ancient ergs (2020)
Thesis
Cousins, D. P. (2020). Sediment deposition and preservation in Aeolian Systems: A comparison of contemporary and ancient ergs. (Thesis). Keele University

Ancient and contemporary aeolian systems have been subject of important conceptual advances in recent years, however, a disconnect exists between the complexities inherent at the depositional surface and subsequent controls on preservation. At the fu... Read More about Sediment deposition and preservation in Aeolian Systems: A comparison of contemporary and ancient ergs.

Xenoliths as tracers of magmatic and intra-crustal processes at volcanic arcs (2020)
Thesis
Whitley, S. O. (2020). Xenoliths as tracers of magmatic and intra-crustal processes at volcanic arcs. (Thesis). Keele University

Arc magmas typically show distinct geochemical and petrographical evidence indicating a complex petrogenesis. The surface products represent a summation of the complex interplay of geodynamic magma generation processes, varied differentiation histori...

The effects of increased atmospheric reactive nitrogen deposition upon rates of biological nitrogen fixation in peatlands and temperate forests (2020)
Thesis
Saiz Val, E. (2020). The effects of increased atmospheric reactive nitrogen deposition upon rates of biological nitrogen fixation in peatlands and temperate forests. (Thesis). Keele University

Biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) is a microbial process that fixes atmospheric nitrogen (N2) gas into reactive, bioavailable forms (Nr). Naturally, lightning and BNF accounted for the entire Nr available for plant and microbial metabolic demands. H...

Understanding and managing the impacts of transience in student-led university food gardens (2019)
Thesis
Laycock Pedersen, R. (2019). Understanding and managing the impacts of transience in student-led university food gardens. (Thesis). Keele University

University student-led food gardens are increasingly used to facilitate learning fostering prosustainability attitude and behaviour change. However, they are led by a transient student population, which impacts how they operate and the benefits they...

Sedimentological characterisation of continental sabkhas: an example from the cedar mesa sandstone of the Paradox Basin, Utah, USA (2019)
Thesis
Pettigrew, R. P. (2019). Sedimentological characterisation of continental sabkhas: an example from the cedar mesa sandstone of the Paradox Basin, Utah, USA. (Thesis). Keele University. Retrieved from https://keele-repository.worktribe.com/output/414954

Continental sabkhas are present within many arid sedimentary basins, however they are often overlooked compared to coeval aeolian and fluvial deposits, despite their potential to record and preserve sedimentary signatures relating to basin formation...
