Use of strontium isotope ratios in geolocation of Guatemalan population: Potential role in identification of remains. (2022)
Journal Article

Within post-conflict communities, attempts to identify and repatriate unidentified and missing individuals poses a difficult task. As current forensic strategies commonly lack the capacity to provide region of origin assessments, forensic anthropolog...

Evaluation and characterisation of metal sorption and retention by drinking water treatment residuals (WTRs) for environmental remediation (2021)
Journal Article

Drinking water treatment residuals (WTRs) are wastes generated when water is clarified using aluminium or iron salts. They are increasingly being considered as a resource with potential reuse value, particularly in relation to soil or water remediati...

Mine spoil remediation via biochar addition to immobilise potentially toxic elements and promote plant growth for phytostabilisation. (2021)
Journal Article

There are thousands of disused and abandoned mining sites around the world with substantial accumulations of exposed mine spoil materials that pose a direct threat to their surrounding environment. Management of such sites, and neutralisation of the...

Trialling water treatment residuals in the remediation of former mine site soils: investigating improvements achieved for plants, earthworms and soil solution. (2020)
Journal Article

During clarification processes of raw water a vast amount of by-product known as drinking water treatment residuals (WTRs) are produced, being principally composed of hydroxides of the Al or Fe salts added during water treatment plus the impurities t...

The use of metabonomics to uncover differences between the small molecule profiles of eggs from cage and barn housing systems (2019)
Journal Article

Metabonomic techniques have been used to observe differences in the small molecule profiles of chicken eggs, to work towards the detection, and thus prevention, of fraud regarding the misrepresentation of egg farming systems. High Performance Liquid... Read More about The use of metabonomics to uncover differences between the small molecule profiles of eggs from cage and barn housing systems.

The Metabonomic Profiling of Chicken Eggs During Storage Using High Performance Liquid Chromatography Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (2018)
Journal Article

Metabonomic techniques have been used to discover subtle differences in the small molecule profiles of chicken eggs, which could help to combat fraud within the egg industry. High Performance Liquid Chromatography Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spec...

Profiling biological samples using ultra performance liquid chromatography–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry (UPLC-ICP-MS) for the determination of phosphorus and sulfur-containing metabolites (2011)
Journal Article

In this preliminary study UPLC-ICP-MS has been utilized to profile a range of different bio-fluids and tissue extracts for sulfur and phosphorus-containing metabolites. Particular attention has been given to the livers, plasma and urine from lean and...
