The impact of supernova remnants on interstellar dust within the Large Magellanic Cloud
Thesis
Lakicevic, M. (2015). The impact of supernova remnants on interstellar dust within the Large Magellanic Cloud

This thesis presents the first population study of supernova remnants (SNRs) in one whole galaxy – the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) on submm and FIR wavelengths. The first part is about the dust production in supernovae (SNe) and SNRs, based on sever... Read More about The impact of supernova remnants on interstellar dust within the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Identifying and characterising young, nearby, low-mass members of stellar moving groups
Thesis
Binks, A. S. (2015). Identifying and characterising young, nearby, low-mass members of stellar moving groups

Since the early 1990s, several groups of comoving, coeval stars younger than 100Myr and within 100 pc have been revealed. Studying and identifying members in these ‘Nearby Young Moving Groups’ (MGs) is vital because they provide: well characterised s...

The early-stage structural evolution of the Barmer Basin rift, Rajasthan, northwest India
Thesis
Bladon, A. J. (2015). The early-stage structural evolution of the Barmer Basin rift, Rajasthan, northwest India

The structural evolution of the Barmer Basin and the context of the rift within the northwest Indian region are poorly understood, despite being a prolific hydrocarbon province. In this work an integrated basin analysis is presented covering the outc... Read More about The early-stage structural evolution of the Barmer Basin rift, Rajasthan, northwest India.

Investigating the natural attenuation and fate of a trichloroethene plume at the groundwater-surface water interface of a UK lowland river
Thesis
interface of a UK lowland river

Legacy industrial contaminants, such as trichloroethene (TCE), that have been released to aquifers in the last century, now threaten the quality of groundwater baseflow to lowland rivers and streams. Before reaching these receptors, contaminant plume...

Spitzer Space Telescope observations of hot Jupiters
Thesis
Mahtani, D. P. (2015). Spitzer Space Telescope observations of hot Jupiters

Currently the Spitzer Space Telescope is the most reliable telescope for conducting secondary eclipse observations of exoplanets. The depth and the time of mid-eclipse are two important parameters that come from a secondary eclipse analysis. The ecli... Read More about Spitzer Space Telescope observations of hot Jupiters.

Model forest system: even-aged Douglas fir plantation with invasive Rhododendron
Thesis
Haffenden, A. (2015). Model forest system: even-aged Douglas fir plantation with invasive Rhododendron

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
Bullock, L. A. (2015). Structure, emplacement and textural evolution of young obsidian lavas in the Aeolian Islands, Italy

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
Levy, A. (2015). Groundwater-surface water exchange in the proglacial zone of retreating glaciers in SE Iceland

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
Dobson, A. (2016). Kinematics and age spreads of the young star-forming region NGC 2264

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...

Controls on sediment architecture and deposition in arid continental basin margin systems
Thesis
Gough, A. (2015). Controls on sediment architecture and deposition in arid continental basin margin systems

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...
