Earth's youngest known ultrahigh-temperature granulites discovered on Seram, eastern Indonesia (2014)
Journal Article
Pownall, J. M., Hall, R., Armstrong, R. A., & Forster, M. A. (2014). Earth's youngest known ultrahigh-temperature granulites discovered on Seram, eastern Indonesia. Geology, 42(4), 279-282. https://doi.org/10.1130/G35230.1

Episodes of ultrahigh-temperature (UHT, ≥900 °C) granulite metamorphism have been recorded in mountain belts since the Neoarchean. However, evidence for the tectonic mechanisms responsible for the generation of such extreme thermal conditions is rare...

Oil and gas wells and their integrity: implications for shale and unconventional resource exploitation (2014)
Journal Article
Davies, R. J., Almond, S., Ward, R. S., Jackson, R. B., Adams, C., Worrall, F., Herringshaw, L. G., Gluyas, J. G., & Whitehead, M. A. (2014). Oil and gas wells and their integrity: implications for shale and unconventional resource exploitation. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 56, 239-254. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2014.03.001

Data from around the world (Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Brazil, Canada, the Netherlands, Poland, the UK and the USA) show that more than four million onshore hydrocarbon wells have been drilled globally. Here we assess all the reliable datasets (25)... Read More about Oil and gas wells and their integrity: implications for shale and unconventional resource exploitation.

Structural characteristics and Re-Os dating of quartz-pyrite veins in the Lewisian Gneiss Complex, NW Scotland: Evidence of an Early Paleoproterozoic hydrothermal regime during terrane amalgamation (2014)
Journal Article
Vernon, R., Holdsworth, R., Selby, D., Dempsey, E., Finlay, A., & Fallick, A. (2014). Structural characteristics and Re-Os dating of quartz-pyrite veins in the Lewisian Gneiss Complex, NW Scotland: Evidence of an Early Paleoproterozoic hydrothermal regime during terrane amalgamation. Precambrian research, 246, 256-267. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.precamres.2014.03.007

In the Archaean basement rocks of the Assynt and Gruinard terranes of the mainland Lewisian Complex in NW Scotland, a regional suite of quartz-pyrite veins cross-cut regional Palaeoproterozoic (Badcallian, ca. 2700. Ma; Inverian, ca. 2480. Ma) fabric...

Temporal and spatial evolution of a waxing then waning catastrophic density current revealed by chemical mapping (2014)
Journal Article
Williams, R., Branney, M. J., & Barry, T. L. (2014). Temporal and spatial evolution of a waxing then waning catastrophic density current revealed by chemical mapping. Geology, 42(2), 107-110. https://doi.org/10.1130/G34830.1

We reconstruct the behavior of a catastrophic sustained radial pyroclastic density current as it waxed then waned during its brief lifespan. By subdividing the deposit into 8 time slices using a chemical tracer, we show that the sustained current ini...

Rethinking sociotechnical transitions and green entrepreneurship : the potential for transformative change in the green building sector (2014)
Journal Article
O'Neill, K., & Gibbs, D. (2014). Rethinking sociotechnical transitions and green entrepreneurship : the potential for transformative change in the green building sector. Environment & planning. A, 46(5), 1088-1107. https://doi.org/10.1068/a46259

This paper explores the development of green entrepreneurship and its potential role in transformative change towards a green economy. It achieves this through a study of the green building sector in England and Wales, based on qualitative empirical...
