PFAS River Export Analysis Highlights the Urgent Need for Catchment-Scale Mass Loading Data (2024)
Journal Article
Byrne, P., Mayes, W. M., James, A. L., Comber, S., Biles, E., Riley, A., & Runkel, R. L. (in press). PFAS River Export Analysis Highlights the Urgent Need for Catchment-Scale Mass Loading Data. Environmental Science and Technology Letters, https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.estlett.4c00017

Source apportionment of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) requires an understanding of the mass loading of these compounds in river basins. However, there is a lack of temporally variable and catchment-scale mass loading data, meaning ident...

Exploring farmer and advisor lameness management behaviours using the COM-B model of behaviour change (2024)
Journal Article
Clark, B., Proctor, A., Mahon, N., & Holloway, L. (2024). Exploring farmer and advisor lameness management behaviours using the COM-B model of behaviour change. Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 11, Article 1258906. https://doi.org/10.3389/fvets.2024.1258906

This paper applies the COM-B framework to farmer and farm advisor understandings and responses to lameness in sheep, beef, and dairy systems. It reflects on how farmers' and advisors' capability, opportunity, and motivation (COM-B) influence lameness...

The contamination of in situ archaeological remains: A pilot analysis of microplastics in sediment samples using μFTIR (2024)
Journal Article
Rotchell, J. M., Mendrik, F., Chapman, E., Flintoft, P., Panter, I., Gallio, G., …Schofield, J. (2024). The contamination of in situ archaeological remains: A pilot analysis of microplastics in sediment samples using μFTIR. The Science of the total environment, 914, Article 169941. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2024.169941

Background: Microplastics (MPs) are found in all environments: aquatic, airborne, and terrestrial. While their presence is not disputed, their potential impacts are not yet known. Objective: To undertake a pilot analysis of MP contamination in archae...

Chemical Geology, 644, Article 121842. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemgeo.2023.121842

Highly alkaline (pH 9–12) waters can arise from a range of globally significant and environmentally impactful industrial processes such as lime, steel and cement production, alumina refining and energy generation (e.g. combustion ashes). Such residue... Read More about Ikaite formation in streams affected by steel waste leachate: First report and potential impact on contaminant dynamics.

Exploring the Limitations of a Circular Economy Under Capitalism and Raising Expectations for a Sustainable Future (2023)
Journal Article
Deutz, P. (2023). Exploring the Limitations of a Circular Economy Under Capitalism and Raising Expectations for a Sustainable Future. Journal of circular economy, 1(3), https://doi.org/10.55845/heml8087

The concept of a circular economy has gained remarkable policy and academic traction. Associated expectations of social benefits are underexamined. Driven by the current perilous state of the environment and society, this article pulls aside the c...

Quantifying CO2 Removal at Enhanced Weathering Sites: a Multiproxy Approach (2023)
Journal Article
Knapp, W. J., Stevenson, E. I., Renforth, P., Ascough, P. L., Knight, A. C., Bridgestock, L., …Tipper, E. T. (2023). Quantifying CO2 Removal at Enhanced Weathering Sites: a Multiproxy Approach. Environmental Science and Technology, 57(26), 9854-9864. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.3c03757

Enhanced weathering is a carbon dioxide (CO2) mitigation strategy that promises large scale atmospheric CO2 removal. The main challenge associated with enhanced weathering is monitoring, reporting, and verifying (MRV) the amount of carbon removed as...
