Journal Article
Lloyd, C. E. M., Mena-Rivera, L. A., Pemberton, J. A., Johnes, P. J., Jones, D. L., Yates, C. A., Brailsford, F. L., Glanville, H. C., McIntyre, C. A., & Evershed, R. P. (2023). Characterisation of riverine dissolved organic matter using a complementary suite of chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods. Biogeochemistry, 164(1), 29-52. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10533-022-00913-z

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a fundamental role in nutrient cycling dynamics in riverine systems. Recent research has confirmed that the concentration of riverine DOM is not the only factor regulating its functional significance; the need to...

From alchemy to modern mineralogy: dating mineral collections via chemical notation (2022)
Journal Article
Cooke, J. C., & Jeffery, A. J. (2022). From alchemy to modern mineralogy: dating mineral collections via chemical notation. Geology Today, 38(2), 58-64. https://doi.org/10.1111/gto.12382

Mineral specimens found in historical collections often include specimen labels, which may provide vital information on the nature, chemistry and origin of the material. However, the evolution of chemical notation, particularly during the eighteenth... Read More about From alchemy to modern mineralogy: dating mineral collections via chemical notation.

Garnet major-element composition as an indicator of host-rock type: a machine learning approach using the random forest classifier (2021)
Journal Article
(2021). Garnet major-element composition as an indicator of host-rock type: a machine learning approach using the random forest classifier. Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00410-021-01854-w

The major-element chemical composition of garnet provides valuable petrogenetic information, particularly in metamorphic rocks. When facing detrital garnet, information about the bulk-rock composition and mineral paragenesis of the initial garnet-bea...

The evolution of a coastal carbon store over the last millennium (2021)
Journal Article
Smeaton, C., Cui, X., Bianchi, T., Cage, A., Howe, J., & Austin, W. (2021). The evolution of a coastal carbon store over the last millennium. Quaternary Science Reviews, 1- 12. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2021.107081

Fjord sediments are recognized as hotspots for the burial and storage of organic carbon, yet little is known about the long-term drivers of significant terrestrial organic carbon (OC) transfers into these coastal carbon stores. The mid-latitude fjord... Read More about The evolution of a coastal carbon store over the last millennium.

Clastic injectites, internal structures and flow regime during injection: The Sea Lion Injectite System, North Falkland Basin (2019)
Journal Article
Dodd, T., McCarthy, D., & Clarke, S. (2019). Clastic injectites, internal structures and flow regime during injection: The Sea Lion Injectite System, North Falkland Basin. Sedimentology, https://doi.org/10.1111/sed.12672

This paper details and describes a suite of 143 sub-seismic-scale clastic injectites encountered within the early Cretaceous, early post-rift of the deep-lacustrine North Falkland Basin. The injectites, referred to here as the Sea Lion Injectite Syst...

Wildlife Crime: The application of forensic geoscience to assist with criminal investigations (2019)
Journal Article
D. Wisniewski, K., K. Pringle, J., Allen, D., & E. Wilson, G. (2019). Wildlife Crime: The application of forensic geoscience to assist with criminal investigations. Forensic Science International, 11-18. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2018.10.026

Wildlife crime is a growing problem in many rural areas. However, it can often be difficult to determine exactly what had happened and provide evidential Court material, especially where evidence is ephemeral. This paper presents a case study where a...
