Geotechnical site characterisation using seismic and resistivity geophysical techniques (2019)
Thesis

Geotechnical site investigations are vital for any construction project in brownfield re-development and/or greenfield sites. Many non-invasive, near-surface geophysical techniques are used for site characterisation, with electrical resistivity and s...

The importance of the UK’s rural spaces to EU8 migrants (2019)
Thesis

This PhD examines the importance of rural space to new migrants. Developing upon existing work (for example, Spencer et al., 2007), it explores the lives of economic migrants beyond the workplace and the ways in which they i) understand and define th...

The geology of the Precambrian rocks of La Hague, Manche, France (1974)
Thesis

The Precambrian rocks of La Hague have been divided into three areas of older gneisses, an orthogneiss complex intrusive into these gneisses and a series of post-tectonic granitic rocks. The gneisses of the Nez de Jobourg, Omonville and Greville are... Read More about The geology of the Precambrian rocks of La Hague, Manche, France.

Identification of palaeotsunamis using ground penetrating radar, sedimentological and micropaleontological techniques; implications for Sri Lankan tsunami risk
Thesis

One of the most catastrophic natural hazards which can devastate coastal zone communities is the tsunami. The risk of tsunami devastation can be mitigated by reconstruction and quantification of past tsunamis, but this requires identification and ana...

Biochemical, biophysical, and structural studies of a protein complex implicated in the erythrocyte interaction with the Malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Thesis

This thesis describes biochemical and biophysical studies of two protein domains that are believed to be involved in the interaction between the merozoites of Plasmodium falciparum and human red blood cells. The parasite protein fragment derives from...

Linear and non-linear modelling of thermoacoustic instabilities in a laboratory burner
Thesis

Thermoacoustic instabilities are a mayor problem in industrial combustors, where they can lead to catastrophic hardware damage. An industrial gas turbine combustion chamber is a very complex and expensive system. Thus, a laboratory burner has been bu...
