Journal Article
Mayes, W. M., Potter, H. A. B., & Jarvis, A. P. (2009). Novel approach to zinc removal from circum-neutral mine waters using pelletised recovered hydrous ferric oxide. Journal of hazardous materials, 162(1), 512-520. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2008.05.078

Data are presented which evaluate the performance of a pilot-scale treatment system using pelletised hydrous ferric oxide (HFO; a waste stream from coal mine water treatment) as a high surface area sorbent for removing zinc (Zn) from a metal mine wat...

Constructing sustainability through reconnection: The case of 'alternative' food networks (2008)
Book Chapter
Cox, R., Kneafsey, M., Venn, L., Holloway, L., Dowler, E., & Tuomainen, H. (2008). Constructing sustainability through reconnection: The case of 'alternative' food networks. In G. Robinson (Ed.), Sustainable rural systems : sustainable agriculture and rural communities (67-82). Ashgate. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315611556

This chapter examines two particular environmental programmes in Canada, one in the Atlantic provinces and one in Ontario, with a view to assessing how the process of 'bottom up' planning has worked in these two instances and what lessons may be lear...

Boosted bodies: genetic techniques, domestic livestock bodies and complex representations of life (2008)
Journal Article
Holloway, L., & Morris, C. (2008). Boosted bodies: genetic techniques, domestic livestock bodies and complex representations of life. Geoforum, 39(5), 1709-1720. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2008.03.006

This paper focuses on the burgeoning application of genetic techniques in livestock agriculture, examining how these are changing livestock breeding knowledge-practices and the representation of animal life. Conventional livestock breeding relies on... Read More about Boosted bodies: genetic techniques, domestic livestock bodies and complex representations of life.

Modelling and testing the vertical axis, impulse rotor tidal power pontoon (2008)
Journal Article
Hardisty, J. (2008). Modelling and testing the vertical axis, impulse rotor tidal power pontoon. Proceedings of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science, and Technology. Part A, Journal of marine engineering and technology, 15 - 23

The specification of a new tidal power pontoon is described. The device consists of a 500kW asynchronous generator connected through gearbox and drive shaft to a twelve bladed, vertical axis rotor 4.00m x 4.00m mounted at the impact point of a jet in...

Characterisation of the environmental impact of the Rodalquilar mine, Spain by ground-based reflectance spectroscopy (2008)
Journal Article
Ferrier, G., Hudson-Edwards, K. A., & Pope, R. J. (2009). Characterisation of the environmental impact of the Rodalquilar mine, Spain by ground-based reflectance spectroscopy. Journal of Geochemical Exploration, 100(1), 11-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gexplo.2008.03.001

This study has investigated the utility of using field-based reflectance spectroscopy to characterise the distribution and nature of the dispersion of tailings material from the Rodalquilar mine, Spain. Field spectral measurements covering the visibl... Read More about Characterisation of the environmental impact of the Rodalquilar mine, Spain by ground-based reflectance spectroscopy.

Industrial ecosystems? The use of tropes in the literature of industrial ecology and eco-industrial parks (2008)
Journal Article
McManus, P., & Gibbs, D. (2008). Industrial ecosystems? The use of tropes in the literature of industrial ecology and eco-industrial parks. Progress in human geography, 32(4), 525-540. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309132507088118

Industrial ecology is often promoted as a practice to close industrial production loops and reduce waste, thereby making better use of resources and preventing the overuse of raw materials. Eco-industrial parks (ElPs) are the spatial concentrations o... Read More about Industrial ecosystems? The use of tropes in the literature of industrial ecology and eco-industrial parks.

Diatom response to the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition in the Ioannina basin, northwest Greece: implications for Mediterranean palaeoclimate reconstruction (2008)
Journal Article
Reed, J. M., Wilson, G. P., Lawson, I. T., Frogley, M. R., Preece, R. C., & Tzedakis, P. C. (2008). Diatom response to the Last Glacial-Interglacial Transition in the Ioannina basin, northwest Greece: implications for Mediterranean palaeoclimate reconstruction. Quaternary science reviews, 27(3-4), 428-440. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2007.10.013

Uncertainty as to the pattern of Lateglacial and early Holocene climate change in the western Balkans and Greece has persisted despite extensive investigation of the Ioannina I-284 lake-sediment sequence, northwest Greece. Here we present a new diato...

Competitiveness versus 'clean and green'? The regulation and governance of GMOs in Australia and the UK (2008)
Journal Article
Cocklin, C., Dibden, J., & Gibbs, D. (2008). Competitiveness versus 'clean and green'? The regulation and governance of GMOs in Australia and the UK. Geoforum, 39(1), 161-173. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2006.09.009

It is increasingly argued that we are entering into a "biotech century", in which biotechnology promises major advances in agricultural productivity. The development of biotechnology is not a straightforward affair, however, and the advent of GMOs ha... Read More about Competitiveness versus 'clean and green'? The regulation and governance of GMOs in Australia and the UK.

Using cryptotephras to extend regional tephrochronologies: an example from southeast Alaska and implications for hazard assessment (2008)
Journal Article
Payne, R., Blackford, J., & van der Plicht, J. (2008). Using cryptotephras to extend regional tephrochronologies: an example from southeast Alaska and implications for hazard assessment. Quaternary Research, 69(1), 42-55. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yqres.2007.10.007

Cryptotephrochronology, the use of hidden, diminutive volcanic ash layers to date sediments, has rarely been applied outside western Europe but has the potential to improve the tephrochronology of other regions of the world. Here we present the first... Read More about Using cryptotephras to extend regional tephrochronologies: an example from southeast Alaska and implications for hazard assessment.
