Mine site management, monitoring and restoration are important, long term environmental activities that are needed in many regions of the UK and around the world. This project characterised the nature and level of contamination at a former coal minin...

A global mean sea surface temperature dataset for the Last Interglacial (129–116?ka) and contribution of thermal expansion to sea level change (2020)
Journal Article
A valuable analogue for assessing Earth's sensitivity to warming is the Last Interglacial (LIG; 129–116?ka), when global temperatures (0 to +2?°C) and mean sea level (+6 to 11?m) were higher than today. The direct contribution of warmer conditions to...

District energy system modeling and optimal operation considering CHP units dynamic response to wind power ramp events (2020)
Journal Article
With the increase in clean energy penetration, its power curtailment during operation is made increasingly evident. In this circumstance, it is imperative to address the conflict between inflexible combined heat and power (CHP) units and variable win...

On global plasticity: framing the global through affective materiality (2020)
Journal Article
As a pervasive, material element of the global, plastics raise potent social and environmental questions. More than merely the ‘stuff’ of potential global prosperity, plastics are substances people inscribe with varied cultural meanings. Deploying co...

Tourmaline reference materials for the in situ analysis of oxygen and lithium isotope ratio compositions (2020)
Journal Article
Three tourmaline reference materials sourced from the Harvard Mineralogical and Geological Museum (schorl 112566, dravite 108796 and elbaite 98144), which are already widely used for the calibration of in situ boron isotope measurements, are characte...

OB associations and their origins (2020)
Journal Article
OB associations are unbound groups of young stars made prominent by their bright OB members, and have long been thought to be the expanded remnants of dense star clusters. They have been important in astrophysics for over a century thanks to their lu... Read More about OB associations and their origins.
Prescribed burning impacts on ecosystem services in the British uplands: A methodological critique of the EMBER project (2020)
Journal Article
Due to its novelty and scale, the EMBER project is a key study within the prescribed burning evidence base. However, it has several significant but overlooked methodological flaws. In this paper, we outline and discuss these flaws. In doing so, we a...

Lead Mineralisation Within The Stublick Fault System At Church Burn And Wolf Hills, Haltwhistle, Northumberland (2020)
Journal Article
Two hitherto unreported small clusters of lead-bearing veins and associated workings at Church Burn and Wolf Hills, south of Haltwhistle, described here, add to the group of mineral deposits within the main Tyne Valley, sometimes collectively referre...

Sedimentology and isotope geochemistry of transitional evaporitic environments within arid continental settings: From erg to saline lakes (2020)
Journal Article
Arid continental basins typically contain a spectrum of coeval environments that coexist and interact from proximal to distal. Within the distal portion, aeolian ergs often border playa, or perennial, desert lakes, fed by fluvial incursions or elevat...

Assessing shale gas reservoir potential using multi-scaled SEM pore network characterizations and quantifications: The Ciñera-Matallana pull-apart basin, NW Spain (2020)
Book Chapter
In recent years, unconventional hydrocarbon reservoirs (UHRs), specifically shale gas plays, have become a vast source of economically viable hydrocarbons, in response to better drilling and stimulation techniques. To further improve recovery, more d...
