Analysis of liquid resource play potential in China (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Smith, N. J., Evans, K. C., Robinson, L. J., & Cowley, L. A. (2014, August). Analysis of liquid resource play potential in China. Presented at Unconventional Resources Technology Conference, Denver, Colorado, USA

The overwhelming impact of unconventional exploration in the United States of America has sparked global interest in the development of shale resource plays. In China, although shale gas exploration has been a key focus in the past five years, partic... Read More about Analysis of liquid resource play potential in China.

The Boltysh meteorite impact crater formed in the Ukrainian Shield on the margin of the Tethys Ocean a few thousand years before the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary and was rapidly filled by a freshwater lake. Sediments filling the lake vary from early... Read More about The early Danian hyperthermal event at Boltysh (Ukraine): Relation to Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary events.

Natural fractures in a United Kingdom shale reservoir analog, Cleveland Basin, northeast England (2014)
Journal Article
Imber, J., Armstrong, H., Clancy, S., Daniels, S., Herringshaw, L., McCaffrey, K., Rodrigues, J., Trabucho-Alexandre, J., & Warren, C. (2014). Natural fractures in a United Kingdom shale reservoir analog, Cleveland Basin, northeast England. AAPG Bulletin, 98(11), 2411-2437. https://doi.org/10.1306/07141413144

Faults and fractures within the well-exposed Lower Jurassic Cleveland Ironstone and Whitby Mudstone Formations may provide insights into the tectonic history of gas-prospective, Mississippian shale in northern England. Subvertical opening mode fractu... Read More about Natural fractures in a United Kingdom shale reservoir analog, Cleveland Basin, northeast England.

The green economy, sustainability transitions and transition regions : a case study of Boston (2014)
Journal Article
Gibbs, D., & O'Neill, K. (2014). The green economy, sustainability transitions and transition regions : a case study of Boston. Geografiska annaler. Series B, Human geography, 96(3), 201-216. https://doi.org/10.1111/geob.12046

This paper is focused upon exploring the development of the green economy in particular locations, with the aim of identifying why some cities and regions have been successful in engendering green growth. To date we have little idea where the green e... Read More about The green economy, sustainability transitions and transition regions : a case study of Boston.

Experimental study of dense pyroclastic density currents using sustained, gas-fluidized granular flows (2014)
Journal Article
Rowley, P. J., Roche, O., Druitt, T. H., & Cas, R. (2014). Experimental study of dense pyroclastic density currents using sustained, gas-fluidized granular flows. Bulletin of volcanology, 76(9), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-014-0855-1

We present the results of laboratory experiments on the behaviour of sustained, dense granular flows in a horizontal flume, in which high-gas pore pressure was maintained throughout the flow duration by continuous injection of gas through the flume b...

Large igneous provinces and mass extinctions: an update (2014)
Book Chapter
Bond, D. P. G., & Wignall, P. B. (2014). Large igneous provinces and mass extinctions: an update. In Geological Society of America Special Papers (29-55). Geological Society of America. https://doi.org/10.1130/2014.2505%2802%29

The temporal link between mass extinctions and large igneous provinces is well known. Here, we examine this link by focusing on the potential climatic effects of large igneous province eruptions during several extinction crises that show the best cor...

Journal Article
Dempsey, E. D., Holdsworth, R. E., Imber, J., Bistacchi, A., & Di Toro, G. (2014). A geological explanation for intraplate earthquake clustering complexity: The zeolite-bearing fault/fracture networks in the Adamello Massif (Southern Italian Alps). Journal of Structural Geology, 66, 58-74. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsg.2014.04.009

Interconnected networks of faults and veins filled with hydrothermal minerals such as zeolite are widespread in many orogenic terrains. These fractures commonly form at relatively low temperatures (e.g.
