In this chapter, after a brief introduction and overview of stellar evolution, we discuss the evolution and nucleosynthesis of very massive stars (VMS: M>100 solar masses) in the context of recent stellar evolution model calculations. This chapter co... Read More about Evolution and Nucleosynthesis of Very Massive Stars.

Postmortem Interval: Submerged Bodies (2013)
Book Chapter
Simmons, T., & Heaton, V. Postmortem Interval: Submerged Bodies. In Wiley Encyclopedia of Forensic Science (1-10). Wiley. https://doi.org/10.1002/9780470061589.fsa1080

There are an estimated 388 000 victims of accidental drowning worldwide every year, and the number of bodies recovered from water environments is augmented by bodies that are in water because of suicide and homicide. Numerous challenges are created w... Read More about Postmortem Interval: Submerged Bodies.

Stalag Luft III: The Archaeology of an Escaper’s Camp (2012)
Book Chapter

Stalag Luft III was a German prisoner of war camp for Allied aviators during World War II. Situated at Zagan, Poland, in what was once eastern Germany, the site is famous for repeated escape attempts, particularly the mass escape of 79 PoWs in March...

Star Formation in the Eagle Nebula (2008)
Book Chapter
M. Oliveira, J. (2008). Star Formation in the Eagle Nebula. In Handbook of Star Forming Regions: Volume II, The Southern Sky. Astronomical Society of the Pacific

M16 (the Eagle Nebula) is a striking star forming region, with a complex morphology of gas and dust sculpted by the massive stars in NGC 6611. Detailed studies of the famous ``elephant trunks'' dramatically increased our understanding of the massive... Read More about Star Formation in the Eagle Nebula.

Stellar evolution of massive stars at very low metallicities (2006)
Book Chapter
Hirschi, R., Fröhlich, C., Liebendörfer, M., & -K. Thielemann, F. (2006). Stellar evolution of massive stars at very low metallicities. In Reviews in Modern Astronomy. Wiley. https://doi.org/10.1002/9783527619030.ch5

Recently, measurements of abundances in extremely metal poor (EMP) stars have brought new constraints on stellar evolution models. In an attempt to explain the origin of the abundances observed, we computed pre--supernova evolution models, explosion...

In Ground Penetrating Radar in Sediments (225 - 246). (Volume 211). The Geological Society. https://doi.org/10.1144/GSL.SP.2001.211.01.19

Vertical radar profiling (VRP) is an application of ground penetrating radar (GPR) technologies that can extract important subsurface information from suitable outcrops. Using standard GPR equipment, a site-specific time-depth calibration can be obta... Read More about The use of vertical radar profiling (VRP) in GPR survey of ancient sedimentary strata.
