Journal Article
Bastianini, L., Rogerson, M., Brasier, A., Prior, T. J., Hardman, K., Dempsey, E., Bird, A., & Mayes, W. M. (2024). Ikaite formation in streams affected by steel waste leachate: First report and potential impact on contaminant dynamics. 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... Read More about Exploring the Limitations of a Circular Economy Under Capitalism and Raising Expectations for a Sustainable Future.

Lost in Translation? Exploring the journey from press releases to news articles during volcanic crises, and its impact on perceptions (2023)
Thesis
Jones, E. M. Lost in Translation? Exploring the journey from press releases to news articles during volcanic crises, and its impact on perceptions. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4448192

The world in which we communicate has changed rapidly in recent years; information from official bodies can be posted, shared, translated, re-interpreted and disseminated rapidly via online news outlets and social media. The increased use of the inte... Read More about Lost in Translation? Exploring the journey from press releases to news articles during volcanic crises, and its impact on perceptions.

Antimony and arsenic behaviour in lead/zinc mine tailings during storage under vegetation cover (2023)
Journal Article
Burke, I. T., Courtney, R., & Mayes, W. M. (2023). Antimony and arsenic behaviour in lead/zinc mine tailings during storage under vegetation cover. Applied geochemistry : journal of the International Association of Geochemistry and Cosmochemistry, 158, Article 105806. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apgeochem.2023.105806

The high-volume, fine grained tailings produced from Pb/Zn ore processing need to be carefully managed. Metalloid elements, As and Sb, are present in tailings at ∼800 and ∼80 mg kg−1 respectively, and in neutral pH leachates at 5–50 μg L−1. Despite t...

Monitoring & modelling fluvial hydrogeomorphic response to leaky wooden dams (2023)
Thesis
Wolstenholme, J. M. Monitoring & modelling fluvial hydrogeomorphic response to leaky wooden dams. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4436310

The introduction of large wood to fluvial systems is an increasingly popular method of natural flood management (NFM). Leaky dams (LDs) are designed to attenuate the hydrograph and ‘slow-the-flow’, intercepting high flows, and providing temporary sto...

Measurements In Geochemical Carbon Dioxide Removal 2023 1st Edition. Heriot Watt University: Heriot Watt University

Geochemical carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies capture and store carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere using alkaline materials that are rich in calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg). Alkaline materials include natural rocks such as basalt, indus... Read More about Measurements In Geochemical Carbon Dioxide Removal 2023 1st Edition.

Dynamics of microplastics particles in rivers: experimental settling processes and numerical models of the transport and deposition (2023)
Thesis
Barrantes, L. I. A. Dynamics of microplastics particles in rivers: experimental settling processes and numerical models of the transport and deposition. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4367345

Microplastic pollution is an environmental problem facing rivers, oceans, and coastlines. Estimations suggest that around 1.15 to 12.7 million tonnes of plastic waste enter the ocean every year from the global riverine system. In the environment, org...

Streamwise Turbulence Modulation in Non-Uniform Open-Channel Clay Suspension Flows (2023)
Journal Article
de Vet, M. G., Fernández, R., Baas, J. H., McCaffrey, W. D., & Dorrell, R. M. (2023). Streamwise Turbulence Modulation in Non-Uniform Open-Channel Clay Suspension Flows. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 128(8), Article e2022JF006781. https://doi.org/10.1029/2022JF006781

Cohesive sediment particles are ubiquitous in environmental flows. The cohesive properties of clay promote the formation of clay flocs and gels and relatively small suspended clay concentrations can enhance or suppress turbulence in a flow. Furthermo...

Eroding coastal landfill sites: the relative contribution of coastal and inland mining wastes to metal flux along a post-industrial coastline (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Riley, A., Onnis, P., Gandy, C., Kanu, C., Umeobika, C., Cameron, J., Burke, I., Hudson-Edwards, K., Jarvis, A., & Mayes, W. (2023, July). Eroding coastal landfill sites: the relative contribution of coastal and inland mining wastes to metal flux along a post-industrial coastline. Presented at Goldschmidt2023, Lyon, France

Historically, coastal areas of the United Kingdom were extensively used for the disposal of wastes from a range of municipal and industrial sources, including coal mining, metal mining, and mineral processing. Many of these deposits are releasing met...
