Collaborative geophysical monitoring of simulated forensic ‘crime scenes’ in the UK (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Williams, A., Cross, P., Ruffell, A., Masters, P., Pringle, J., & Cassella, J. (2013, November). Collaborative geophysical monitoring of simulated forensic ‘crime scenes’ in the UK. Presented at Second International Conference on Engineering Geophysics, Al Ain, United Arab Emirates

This paper provides an overview of current collaborative academic forensic geophysics research on various U.K. test sites to detail the importance of forensic simulated burial sites for forensic search investigators. Academic forensic test sites cont... Read More about Collaborative geophysical monitoring of simulated forensic ‘crime scenes’ in the UK.

Late Pleistocene and early Holocene change in the Weddell Sea: a new climate record from the Patriot Hills, Ellsworth Mountains, West Antarctica (2013)
Journal Article
(2013). Late Pleistocene and early Holocene change in the Weddell Sea: a new climate record from the Patriot Hills, Ellsworth Mountains, West Antarctica. Journal of Quaternary Science, 697 - 704. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.2668

The transition from the late Pleistocene to the Holocene (30 000-5000 years ago) was a period of considerable climate variability, which has been associated with changes in deep water formation and the intensity of the Meridional Overturning Circulat...

A revised 1000 year atmospheric delta C-13-CO2 record from Law Dome and South Pole, Antarctica (2013)
Journal Article
(2013). A revised 1000 year atmospheric delta C-13-CO2 record from Law Dome and South Pole, Antarctica. Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 8482 -8499. https://doi.org/10.1002/jgrd.50668

[1] We present new measurements of d13C of CO2 extracted from a high-resolution ice core from Law Dome (East Antarctica), together with firn measurements performed at Law Dome and South Pole, covering the last 150?years. Our analysis is motivated by... Read More about A revised 1000 year atmospheric delta C-13-CO2 record from Law Dome and South Pole, Antarctica.

Rapid thinning of the Late Pleistocene Patagonian Ice Sheet followed migration of the Southern Westerlies. (2013)
Journal Article
(2013). Rapid thinning of the Late Pleistocene Patagonian Ice Sheet followed migration of the Southern Westerlies. Scientific reports, 2118 -?. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep02118

Here we present the first reconstruction of vertical ice-sheet profile changes from any of the Southern Hemisphere's mid-latitude Pleistocene ice sheets. We use cosmogenic radio-nuclide (CRN) exposure analysis to record the decay of the former Patago...
