Amorphous silicate nanoparticles with controlled Fe-Mg pyroxene compositions (2016)
Journal Article

The production of amorphous pyroxene nanoparticles (~ 20 nm) with controlled Fe-Mg content is described. Homogenous particle compositions closely matching required target stoichiometries are obtained by drying a precursor gel under high vacuum condit...

Palynofacies patterns of the Highveld coal deposits (Karoo Basin, South Africa): Clues to reconstruction of palaeoenvironment and palaeoclimate (2016)
Journal Article

The early Permian represents a crucial period of climate change in Gondwana. This climate signature is captured in the palynological record that represents the floral assemblage of the region. Palynofacies analysis of the No. 2 Coal Seam of the Highv...

ELLC - a fast, flexible light curve model for detached eclipsing binary stars and transiting exoplanets (2016)
Journal Article

Very high quality light curves are now available for thousands of detached eclipsing binary stars and transiting exoplanet systems as a result of surveys for transiting exoplanets and other large-scale photometric surveys. I have developed a binary s... Read More about ELLC - a fast, flexible light curve model for detached eclipsing binary stars and transiting exoplanets.

Glacier-Permafrost interactions, debris transfer mechanisms and the development of distinctive sediment-landform associations in a High Arctic glacial environment: the case of Fountain Glacier, Bylot Island, Nunavut, Canada (2016)
Conference Proceeding

Detailed investigations of the sediment-landform associations being actively created in modern-day periglacial environments provide the opportunity to constrain the linkages between process and form that underpin palaeoenvironmental reconstructions....

Slab mantle dehydrates beneath Kamchatka – yet recycles water into the deep mantle (2016)
Journal Article

The subduction of hydrated slab mantle is the most important and yet weakly constrained factor in the quantification of the Earth's deep geologic water cycle. The most critical unknowns are the initial hydration state and the dehydration behavior of... Read More about Slab mantle dehydrates beneath Kamchatka – yet recycles water into the deep mantle.

Anomalous mid-twentieth century atmospheric circulation change over the South Atlantic compared to the last 6000 years (2016)
Journal Article

Determining the timing and impact of anthropogenic climate change in data-sparse regions is a considerable challenge. Arguably, nowhere is this more difficult than the Antarctic Peninsula and the subantarctic South Atlantic where observational record...

Discovery of Broad Soft X-ray Absorption Lines from the Quasar Wind in PDS 456 (2016)
Journal Article

High resolution soft X-ray spectroscopy of the prototype accretion disk wind quasar, PDS 456, is presented. Here, the XMM-Newton RGS spectra are analyzed from the large 2013-2014 XMM-Newton campaign, consisting of 5 observations of approximately 100...

WASP-121 b: a hot Jupiter close to tidal disruption transiting an active F star (2016)
Journal Article

We present the discovery by the WASP-South survey of WASP-121 b, a new remarkable short-period transiting hot Jupiter. The planet has a mass of 1.183+0.064-0.062MJup, a radius of 1.865 ± 0.044 RJup, and transits every 1.2749255+0.0000020-0.0000025 da...

Strategies and tactics for local market making in the Temporary Staffing Industry (2016)
Journal Article

This paper examines the increasing complexity of interactions between temporary staffing agencies and their client firms within the local labour market of Birmingham, UK. Temporary Staffing Agencies have been identified as active and influential agen... Read More about Strategies and tactics for local market making in the Temporary Staffing Industry.
