An integrated analysis of facies control on deformation bands in mixed aeolian-fluvial sandstone reservoirs (2021)
Thesis

Deformation bands are the primary structural element of fault damage zones within porous granular rocks. They are sub-seismic structures that act to modify the petrophysical properties of the host lithology, and as such are an area of focused researc...

Structural, stratigraphic and geodynamic controls on the evolution of the Carboniferous succession of northern England and southern Scotland (2021)
Thesis

This thesis helps determine some key structural and geodynamic controls on the evolution of Carboniferous basins in northern England and Scotland. One key control on early Carboniferous (rift) basin evolution in northern England is the role of buoyan...

The sedimentary architecture and spatial variations of dryland ephemeral fluvial systems (2021)
Thesis

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...

Applying analytical chemistry techniques to the characterisation of mine spoils and assessing treatments for minimising their environmental impacts (2021)
Thesis

Mining activities can leave a legacy of contamination with the potential to threaten the wider environment and human health. This is particularly so with historic mines that pre-date modern restoration and environmental protection measures. This stud...

Magma storage and differentiation in volcanic arcs: examples from the central Aeolian arc, Italy (2021)
Thesis

The Aeolian arc is characterised by its complex geodynamic setting, with a heterogeneous mantle source and differing extents of shallow-level magmatic processes. These processes result in large within arc geochemical variations influencing the magma...

Urban Metabolism: An integrated approach to exploring the challenges of resource management for urban sustainability in developing countries (2021)
Thesis

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...

Livelihoods, vulnerability, and adaptation to climate change of small-holder farmers in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (2021)
Thesis

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...

Architectural elements in fluvial multi-storey sandbodies: deposition, preservation and numerical representation (2021)
Thesis

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,...
