UAVS as a platform for earthwork heritage: monitoring, documentation and visualisation (2023)
Thesis

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...

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

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...

The relative dominance of allo-controls and local-scale sedimentary processes upon preserved successions of aeolian-marine margins (2022)
Thesis

The sedimentology, controls and efficiency of central erg environments are wellconstrained, however marginal relationships are less understood and often underrepresented. The Moab Member of the Curtis Formation is a well-exposed, laterally continuous...

Living in a plastic world: problems, places, people, and perspectives on developing ‘Plastic Literacy’ through participatory arts (2022)
Thesis

Creative practice is experiencing a revival as both research method and vehicle for impact and public engagement in geographical research. Academics are increasingly collaborating with artists to deliver public engagement and impact with an emphasis...

The influence of halokinesis on shallow-marine sediments in salt basins: The Fulmar Formation, Central North Sea, UK (2022)
Thesis

Salt collapse structures host significant hydrocarbon reserves and have enormous economic importance, however despite this there is comparatively little research conducted on their evolution, structure and facies distribution. This thesis provides an... Read More about The influence of halokinesis on shallow-marine sediments in salt basins: The Fulmar Formation, Central North Sea, UK.

The opportunities and challenges of governing mobility in the rural-urban fringe - a study of Warrington, UK (2022)
Thesis

The rural-urban fringe is a complex space, yet one increasingly being viewed as a unique, positive opportunity space (Scott et al., 2013). It is characterised by a flexible, contextspecific spatial form and is subject to governance pressures by both...

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...

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...
