Distal volcanic impacts on peatlands: palaeoecological evidence from Alaska (2008)
Journal Article
Payne, R., & Blackford, J. (2008). Distal volcanic impacts on peatlands: palaeoecological evidence from Alaska. Quaternary science reviews, 27(21-22), 2012-2030. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2008.08.002

Despite the fact that volcanic ash (tephra) layers are found preserved in peat deposits around the world, comparatively little research has investigated the impacts of distal volcanic emissions on peatlands. This study investigates the impacts of sev... Read More about Distal volcanic impacts on peatlands: palaeoecological evidence from Alaska.

Extending the late holocene tephrochronology of the central Kenai Peninsula, Alaska (2008)
Journal Article
Blackford, J. J., & Payne, R. J. (2008). Extending the late holocene tephrochronology of the central Kenai Peninsula, Alaska. Arctic, 61(3), 243-254. https://doi.org/10.14430/arctic22

Tephrochronology, the reconstruction of past volcanic ash deposition, provides a valuable method for dating sediments and determining long-term volcanic history. Tephra layers are highly numerous in Alaska, but knowledge of their occurrence and distr... Read More about Extending the late holocene tephrochronology of the central Kenai Peninsula, Alaska.

Relevant Source Area of Pollen in patchy cultural landscapes and signals of anthropogenic landscape disturbance in the pollen record: a simulation approach (2008)
Journal Article
Hellman, S., Bunting, M. J., & Gaillard, M. J. (2009). Relevant Source Area of Pollen in patchy cultural landscapes and signals of anthropogenic landscape disturbance in the pollen record: a simulation approach. Review of palaeobotany and palynology, 153(3-4), 245-258. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.revpalbo.2008.08.006

Using the HUMPOL simulation computer model we explored the effects of various factors characteristic of mosaic cultural landscapes on the Relevant Source Area of Pollen (RSAP sensu Sugita) of small lakes (50 m radius), and the representation of NAP a...

Wetland treatment at extremes of pH: A review (2008)
Journal Article
Mayes, W. M., Batty, L. C., Younger, P. L., Jarvis, A. P., Kõiv, M., Vohla, C., & Mander, U. (2009). Wetland treatment at extremes of pH: A review. The Science of the total environment, 407(13), 3944-3957. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2008.06.045

Constructed wetlands are an established treatment technology for a diverse range of polluted effluents. There is a long history of using wetlands as a unit process in treating acid mine drainage, while recent research has highlighted the potential fo...
