Shedding off-the-grid: The role of garment manufacturing and textile care in global microfibre pollution (2023)
Journal Article

Textile fibres are abundant anthropogenic pollutants. These fibres enter aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments, and biota. Textile fibres pose biological and chemical threats to the environments they pollute. Laundry is a primary source...

Experiential and authentic learning in a Living Lab: the role of a campus-based Living Lab as a teaching and learning environment (2023)
Journal Article

Emerging challenges of the impacts of pharmaceuticals on aquatic ecosystems: A diatom perspective. (2023)
Journal Article

Pharmaceuticals are a ubiquitous group of emerging pollutants of considerable importance due to their biological potency and potential to elicit effects in wildlife and humans. Pharmaceuticals have been quantified in terrestrial, marine, fresh, and t... Read More about Emerging challenges of the impacts of pharmaceuticals on aquatic ecosystems: A diatom perspective..

Planet Patrolling: A citizen science brand audit of anthropogenic litter in the context of national legislation and international policy. (2022)
Journal Article

Anthropogenic Litter (AL) is ubiquitous in distribution and diverse in type and impact. Citizen science AL clean-ups engage citizens with the environment and have the potential to generate data that can inform policy. Here we present a detailed citiz...

Plastic habitats: Algal biofilms on photic and aphotic plastics (2021)
Journal Article

Plastic pollution is abundant in aquatic environments worldwide and many of its detrimental impacts are well documented, but it also represents a novel substrate available to a diversity of organisms. Biofilms – assemblages of bacteria, algae, and fu... Read More about Plastic habitats: Algal biofilms on photic and aphotic plastics.

Diatom assemblages from short-lived jökulhlaup-formed kettle lakes in a proglacial outwash plain, south-east Iceland (2020)
Journal Article

Little is known about the ecological implications of high-magnitude, low frequency jökulhlaup events in proglacial systems. This study highlights how kettle lakes produced by jökulhlaups in proglacial areas create short-lived ecosystems and increase... Read More about Diatom assemblages from short-lived jökulhlaup-formed kettle lakes in a proglacial outwash plain, south-east Iceland.

A landscape perspective of Holocene organic carbon cycling in coastal SW Greenland lake-catchments (2018)
Journal Article

Arctic organic carbon (OC) stores are substantial and have accumulated over millennia as a function of changes in climate and terrestrial vegetation. Arctic lakes are also important components of the regional C-cycle as they are sites of OC productio... Read More about A landscape perspective of Holocene organic carbon cycling in coastal SW Greenland lake-catchments.

Heterogeneous changes in the surface area of lakes in the Kangerlussuaq area of southwestern Greenland between 1995 and 2017 (2018)
Journal Article

Global climate change has increased temperatures and precipitation in the Arctic throughout the past thirty years. Lakes across the Arctic have demonstrated spatially and temporally variable trends in size and number because of these climate changes.... Read More about Heterogeneous changes in the surface area of lakes in the Kangerlussuaq area of southwestern Greenland between 1995 and 2017.

Vegetation transitions drive the autotrophy-heterotrophy balance in Arctic lakes (2018)
Journal Article

“Arctic greening” will alter vegetation quantity and quality in northern watersheds, with possible consequences for lake metabolic balance. We used paleolimnology from six Arctic lakes in Greenland, Norway, and Alaska to develop a conceptual model de...

Functional attributes of epilithic diatoms for palaeoenvironmental interpretations in South-West Greenland lakes (2017)
Journal Article

Benthic diatoms are commonly used for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction in Arctic regions, but interpretation of their ecology remains challenging. We studied epilithic diatom assemblages from the shallow margins of 19 lakes from three areas (coast-... Read More about Functional attributes of epilithic diatoms for palaeoenvironmental interpretations in South-West Greenland lakes.

The Arctic in the Twenty-First Century: Changing Biogeochemical Linkages across a Paraglacial Landscape of Greenland (2017)
Journal Article

The Kangerlussuaq area of southwest Greenland encompasses diverse ecological, geomorphic, and climate gradients that function over a range of spatial and temporal scales. Ecosystems range from the microbial communities on the ice sheet and moisture-s...

Spatial and temporal variability of lake ontogeny in south-western Greenland (2015)
Journal Article

Holocene palaeolimnological records of diatoms and ß carotene (a proxy for aquatic production) from four lakes in the low Arctic region of south-western Greenland were used to investigate the role of climate on lake ontogeny. Two of the lakes are loc... Read More about Spatial and temporal variability of lake ontogeny in south-western Greenland.

Lake and catchment response to Holocene environmental change: spatial variability along a climate gradient in southwest Greenland (2012)
Journal Article

The Kangerlussuaq area of southwest Greenland is a lake-rich landscape that covers a climate gradient: a more maritime, cooler and wetter coastal zone contrasts with a dry, continental interior. Radiocarbon-dated sediment sequences (covering ~11,200–...
