Model forest system: even-aged Douglas fir plantation with invasive Rhododendron
Thesis

This thesis investigated the ecology and dynamics of Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii) dominated plantations at Coed-y-Brenin, Wales, whose transformation to continuous cover forestry has been delayed due to the presence of non-nativ...

Structure, emplacement and textural evolution of young obsidian lavas in the Aeolian Islands, Italy
Thesis

Silicic volcanism defines the recent volcanic activity in the Aeolian Islands, Italy. Such activity on the islands of Lipari and Vulcano has generally involved an explosive phase, ending with viscous lava extrusion and a period of quiescence. This la...

Groundwater-surface water exchange in the proglacial zone of retreating glaciers in SE Iceland
Thesis

Groundwater-surface water exchange significantly impacts proglacial hydrology and ecology. This study applies a multidisciplinary approach to investigate groundwater-surface water exchange in the proglacial zones of two retreating glaciers in SE Icel...

Kinematics and age spreads of the young star-forming region NGC 2264
Thesis

While stars are relatively well understood, the timescales on which they form are still debated. The young cluster NGC 2264 is an ideal region in which to test hypotheses about the timescale of star and cluster formation. Co-eval stars at any given e...

Pennsylvanian carbonate mud mounds from the sub-aerial to sub-marine transition along a tilted foreland basin, Cantabrian Mountains, Spain.
Thesis

Carbonate mud mounds from the Pennsylvanian aged San Emiliano Formation (Cantabrian Mountains, Spain) are commonly well exposed. The mounds range from 2 to 50 m in height and were observed to be primary geological features. Microfacies, ultrafacies,...

Controls on sediment architecture and deposition in arid continental basin margin systems
Thesis

Continental basin margin systems are dominated by alluvial fan environments throughout basin development. As the fan is long-lived, the sediments interdigitate with contemporaneous environments of deposition in the basin centre. The facies and archit...

Palaeontology, stratigraphy and sedimentology of the Kinderscoutian and Lower Marsdenian (Namurian) of North Staffordshire and adjacent areas
Thesis

The thicker-shelled goniatite fauna of the Kinderscoutian and the Marsdenian up to the R. bilingue s. s. marine band is described in detail. The lower part of the Kinderscoutian is almost completely fossiliferous and the goniatites are described from...

Exploring the interface of marketisation and education for sustainable development in English higher education
Thesis

This thesis explores the ideological and the practical relationship between Marketisation and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in English higher education (HE) – focusing on the political-economic ideology of Neoliberalism and associated p...

The sedimentological characteristics of basal ice and their preservation within the proglacial environment
Thesis

The identification of distinctive sedimentological characteristics within the basal ice layer (BIL), and their potential preservation within the proglacial environment, is crucial to enhancing our understanding of glaciological conditions beneath ice...

epurposing Britain’s Coal Measures: insights from seismic and borehole-based mapping, and geothermal modelling
Presentation / Conference

<p>As a consequence of 19<sup>th</sup> and 20<sup>th</sup> century coal mining, a vast quantity of subsurface data has been accumulated on Britain’s late Carbonifero... Read More about epurposing Britain’s Coal Measures: insights from seismic and borehole-based mapping, and geothermal modelling.
