The potential use of exhausted open pit mine voids as sinks for atmospheric CO2: Insights from natural reedbeds and mine water treatment wetlands (2014)
Journal Article
Younger, P. L., & Mayes, W. M. (2015). The potential use of exhausted open pit mine voids as sinks for atmospheric CO2: Insights from natural reedbeds and mine water treatment wetlands. Mine Water and the Environment, 34(1), 112-120. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10230-014-0293-5

Abandoned surface mine voids are often left to flood, forming pit lakes. Drawing simple but important lessons from experiences with compost-based passive remediation systems for acidic mine waters, an alternative end-use for open pit mine voids is pr...

Age and impacts of the caldera-forming Aniakchak II eruption in western Alaska (2014)
Journal Article
Blackford, J., Payne, R., Heggen, M., de la Riva Caballero, A., & van der Plicht, J. (2014). Age and impacts of the caldera-forming Aniakchak II eruption in western Alaska. Quaternary Research, 82(1), 85-95. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yqres.2014.04.013

The mid-Holocene eruption of Aniakchak volcano (Aniakchak II) in southwest Alaska was among the largest eruptions globally in the last 10,000. years (VEI-6). Despite evidence for possible impacts on global climate, the precise age of the eruption is... Read More about Age and impacts of the caldera-forming Aniakchak II eruption in western Alaska.

Is there an isotopic signature of the anthropocene? (2014)
Journal Article
Dean, J. R., Leng, M. J., & Mackay, A. W. (2014). Is there an isotopic signature of the anthropocene?. Anthropocene Review, 1(3), 276-287. https://doi.org/10.1177/2053019614541631

We consider whether the Anthropocene is recorded in the isotope geochemistry of the atmosphere, sediments, plants and ice cores, and the time frame during which any changes are recorded, presenting examples from the literature. Carbon and nitrogen is... Read More about Is there an isotopic signature of the anthropocene?.

Red mud a byproduct of aluminum production contains soluble vanadium that causes genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in higher plants (2014)
Journal Article
Mišík, M., Burke, I. T., Reismüller, M., Pichler, C., Rainer, B., Mišíková, K., Mayes, W. M., & Knasmueller, S. (2014). Red mud a byproduct of aluminum production contains soluble vanadium that causes genotoxic and cytotoxic effects in higher plants. Science of the Total Environment, 493, 883-890. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2014.06.052

Red mud (RM) is a byproduct of aluminum production; worldwide between 70 and 120 million tons is produced annually. We analyzed RM which was released in the course of the Kolontar disaster in Hungary into the environment in acute and genotoxicity exp...

Out of the comfort zone: Enhancing work-based learning about employability through student reflection on work placements (2014)
Journal Article
Eden, S. (2014). Out of the comfort zone: Enhancing work-based learning about employability through student reflection on work placements. Journal of geography in higher education, 38(2), 266-276. https://doi.org/10.1080/03098265.2014.911826

This paper examines the work-based learning about employability reported by 26 undergraduate Geography and Environmental Management students on part-time, unpaid work placements. The students' “reflective essays” emphasized their learning more in ter...

Investigating household recycling behaviour through the interactions between personal and situational factors (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
A-Jalil, E. E., Grant, D. B., Nicholson, J. D., & Deutz, P. Investigating household recycling behaviour through the interactions between personal and situational factors. Presented at Waste Management and The Environment VII

In recent years household recycling behaviour (HRB) has become a focal point in social science research to understand the concept of household waste recycling management. Household recycling systems involve two main actors: households and municipalit...

Rapid recovery of benthic invertebrates downstream of hyperalkaline steel slag discharges (2014)
Journal Article
Hull, S. L., Oty, U. V., & Mayes, W. M. (2014). Rapid recovery of benthic invertebrates downstream of hyperalkaline steel slag discharges. Hydrobiologia, 736(1), 83-97. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-014-1894-5

This study assesses the physical and chemical characteristics of hyperalkaline steel slag leachate from a former steelworks on two streams in England and their impacts on benthic invertebrate communities. Using multivariate methods (CCA), we related... Read More about Rapid recovery of benthic invertebrates downstream of hyperalkaline steel slag discharges.

Context matters: fostering, orphanhood and schooling in sub-Saharan Africa (2014)
Journal Article
Hampshire, K., Porter, G., Agblorti, S., Robson, E., Munthali, A., & Abane, A. (2015). Context matters: fostering, orphanhood and schooling in sub-Saharan Africa. Journal of biosocial science, 47(2), 141-164. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021932014000169

A growing body of research suggests that orphanhood and fostering might be (independently) associated with educational disadvantage in sub-Saharan Africa. However, literature on the impacts of orphanhood and fostering on school enrolment, attendance... Read More about Context matters: fostering, orphanhood and schooling in sub-Saharan Africa.

On the atmospheric correction of Antarctic airborne hyperspectral data (2014)
Journal Article
