Microbial genome (Illumina MiSeq) sequencing of drinking water treatment residuals to evaluate compatibility with environmental applications (2023)
Journal Article
Turner, T., Tonge, D., Glanville, H. C., Wheeler, R., & Oliver, I. W. (2023). Microbial genome (Illumina MiSeq) sequencing of drinking water treatment residuals to evaluate compatibility with environmental applications. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 195(9), 1027. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10661-023-11511-3

The clarification of drinking water leads to the production of large quantities of water treatment residuals (WTRs). DNA was extracted from six WTR samples collected from water treatment plants within the UK to compare their bacterial communities and...

Strategies for making geoscience PhD recruitment more equitable (2023)
Journal Article
Fernando, B., Giles, S., Jackson, C., Lawrence, A., Raji, M., Williams, R., …Dowey, N. (2023). Strategies for making geoscience PhD recruitment more equitable. Nature Geoscience, 16(8), 658-660. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-023-01241-z

Admission to doctoral study is a crucial step in the academic pipeline, but discriminatory procedures can disproportionately impact students from ethnic minority backgrounds. We show how these policies contribute to inequity in the geosciences and pr... Read More about Strategies for making geoscience PhD recruitment more equitable.

UAVS as a platform for earthwork heritage: monitoring, documentation and visualisation (2023)
Thesis
Malbon, H. (2023). UAVS as a platform for earthwork heritage: monitoring, documentation and visualisation. (Thesis). Keele University

Conservation of Cultural Heritage has been a mainstay of UNESCO and other such organisations for decades, whether it is artefacts, buildings, or earthworks. With the increase of tourism, urban encroachment, climate change, or naturally occurring proc...

Historic child homicide burial search in rural woodland (2023)
Journal Article
Pringle, J. K., Ruffell, A., Wisniewski, K. D., Davenward, B., Heaton, V., & Hobson, L. (in press). Historic child homicide burial search in rural woodland. Forensic Science International, 100324. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fsir.2023.100324

The cold case search for clandestine graves can be challenging due to the length of time elapsed since the crime and the search environment changing itself. This paper reports on a cold case search for “Christine”, a young girl who... Read More about Historic child homicide burial search in rural woodland.

Prescribed Fire in UK Heather-Dominated Blanket Bog Peatlands: A Critical Review of “Carbon Storage and Sequestration by Habitat: A Review of the Evidence (Second Edition)” by Gregg et al., 2021 (2023)
Journal Article
Heinemeyer, A., & Ashby, M. A. (2023). Prescribed Fire in UK Heather-Dominated Blanket Bog Peatlands: A Critical Review of “Carbon Storage and Sequestration by Habitat: A Review of the Evidence (Second Edition)” by Gregg et al., 2021. Fire, 6(5), 204. https://doi.org/10.3390/fire6050204

Peatlands are a vast global carbon store. Both climate change and management have shaped peatlands over millennia, sometimes negatively, sometimes positively. Across the globe, prescribed fire is an important and well-recognised vegetation management...

Distribution and abundance of threatened and heavily traded birds in the mountains of western Java (2023)
Journal Article
J. Marsden, S., Ridha Junaid, A., Kaprawi, F., Muladi, F., Cahyo Aprianto, G., (Bas) van Balen, S., …Devenish, C. (2023). Distribution and abundance of threatened and heavily traded birds in the mountains of western Java. Bird Conservation International, 33(e63), 1-9. https://doi.org/10.1017/S095927092300014X

There is serious concern for the future of a wide range of birds in Java and elsewhere in Indonesia due to both loss of habitat and trapping for the cagebird trade (the so-called “Asian Songbird Crisis”). Despite this concern, few data on presence an... Read More about Distribution and abundance of threatened and heavily traded birds in the mountains of western Java.

Ecological risk characterisation of novel soil amendments: assessing impacts on soil properties, earthworms and soil microbial functions (2023)
Thesis
Turner, T. (2023). Ecological risk characterisation of novel soil amendments: assessing impacts on soil properties, earthworms and soil microbial functions. (Thesis). Keele University

Land application of water treatment residuals (WTRs), a by-product of drinking water treatment, is increasingly common due to tightening landfilling regulations and attempts to embrace greener practices. In this thesis a thorough literature review in...
