Investigating the environmental interpretation of oxygen and carbon isotope data from whole and fragmented bivalve shells (2018)
Journal Article
Lacey, J., Leng, M., Peckover, E., Dean, J., Wilke, T., Francke, A., Zhang, X., Masi, A., & Wagner, B. (2018). Investigating the environmental interpretation of oxygen and carbon isotope data from whole and fragmented bivalve shells. Quaternary science reviews, 194, 55-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.06.025

Sclerochronological data from whole bivalve shells have been used extensively to derive palaeoenvironmental information. However, little is known about the relevance of shell fragments more commonly preserved in the sediment record. Here, we investig...

Behaviour and fate of vanadium during the aerobic neutralisation of hyperalkaline slag leachate (2018)
Journal Article
Hobson, A. J., Stewart, D. I., Bray, A. W., Mortimer, R. J., Mayes, W. M., Riley, A. L., Rogerson, M., & Burke, I. T. (2018). Behaviour and fate of vanadium during the aerobic neutralisation of hyperalkaline slag leachate. Science of the Total Environment, 643, 1191-1199. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2018.06.272

© 2018 Vanadium is a toxic metal present in alkaline leachates produced during the weathering of steel slags. Slag leaching can therefore have deleterious effects on local watercourses due to metal toxicity, the effects of the high pH (9–12.5) and ra...

Towards a broad-based and holistic framework of Sustainable Intensification indicators (2018)
Journal Article
Mahon, N., Crute, I., Di Bonito, M., Simmons, E. A., & Islam, M. M. (2018). Towards a broad-based and holistic framework of Sustainable Intensification indicators. Land use policy, 77, 576-597. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.landusepol.2018.06.009

The concept of 'sustainable Intensification’ (SI) has been promoted as a potential solution to the many contemporary challenges facing agriculture, but has also received widespread criticism for being too narrow in scope and failing to address all as...

Atmospheric CO2 sequestration in iron and steel slag: Consett, Co. Durham, UK (2018)
Journal Article
Mayes, W. M., Riley, A. L., Gomes, H., Brabham, P., Hamlyn, J., Pullin, H., & Renforth, P. (2018). Atmospheric CO2 sequestration in iron and steel slag: Consett, Co. Durham, UK. Environmental Science and Technology, 52(14), 7892-7900. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.8b01883

Carbonate formation in waste from the steel industry could constitute a non-trivial proportion of global requirements to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere at potentially low cost. To constrain this potential, we examined atmospheric carbon di... Read More about Atmospheric CO2 sequestration in iron and steel slag: Consett, Co. Durham, UK.

Lake Kinneret (Israel): New insights into Holocene regional palaeoclimate variability based on high-resolution multi-proxy analysis (2018)
Journal Article

The southern Levant is a Mediterranean climate zone of complex variability in which uncertainty remains in regional palaeoclimate reconstruction. In spite of the proven value of diatoms in circum-Mediterranean palaeoenvironmental research, their pote...
