Unexpected non-detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in major Philippines rivers. River, 4(1), 29-35. https://doi.org/10.1002/rvr2.70002

Recent studies suggest per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous in rivers worldwide. In the Asia-Pacific region, the frequency of PFAS detection in rivers is increasing. However, the overwhelming majority of studies and data represen... Read More about Forever but not everywhere? Unexpected non-detection of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in major Philippines rivers.

Noise Attenuation Using Acoustic Resonators: A Multifactorial Investigation and Characterisation of Performance Factors (2025)
Thesis
Houston, B. (2025). Noise Attenuation Using Acoustic Resonators: A Multifactorial Investigation and Characterisation of Performance Factors. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5132751

Unwanted or harmful sound is considered noise. If not addressed, it can cause psychological and physiological harm and have detrimental effects on structures and machinery. Despite the widespread use of acoustic resonators for noise reduction, there...

Decoupling the Effects of Temperature, Strain, and Refractive Index in Long-Period Fiber Grating Used for Epoxy Resin Cure Monitoring (2025)
Journal Article
Ivanov, O. V., Bhavsar, K., & Gilbert, J. M. (2025). Decoupling the Effects of Temperature, Strain, and Refractive Index in Long-Period Fiber Grating Used for Epoxy Resin Cure Monitoring. Sensors, 25(3), Article 786. https://doi.org/10.3390/s25030786

Epoxy resins are widely used in the manufacture of composite materials for a wide range of applications. Control of the curing process is an important consideration in ensuring product quality and minimizing production times. The curing of epoxy resi...

Time-series machine learning for predictive optimisation of a highly efficient evaporative cooling system (2025)
Journal Article
Wang, Z., Zeng, C., Zhu, Z., Li, Y., Ma, X., & Zhao, X. (online). Time-series machine learning for predictive optimisation of a highly efficient evaporative cooling system. Building services engineering research & technology : BSER & T, https://doi.org/10.1177/01436244251315047

As data centres become integral to modern infrastructure, their energy consumption, particularly in cooling systems, presents a critical challenge for sustainability. This paper addresses this issue by applying time-series machine learning models to...

Flood Photography and the Visual Component of Environmental American Studies (2025)
Journal Article
White, S. H. (2025). Flood Photography and the Visual Component of Environmental American Studies. New area studies, 4(3), https://doi.org/10.37975/NAS.78

This article develops a new approach for using photographic sources that might be of interest to American Studies scholars whose research contributes broadly to environmental education. Over the past forty years of photographic scholarship, scientifi... Read More about Flood Photography and the Visual Component of Environmental American Studies.

The influence of hydrodynamics on the behaviour of European Eel at anthropogenic structures (2025)
Thesis
Collier, S. (2025). The influence of hydrodynamics on the behaviour of European Eel at anthropogenic structures. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5086316

Highly fragmented river networks in the UK pose a serious threat to the viability of anadromous fish, including the critically endangered European eel (Anguilla anguilla), thus necessitating remediation at anthropogenic riverine obstructions to resto...

Conservation priorities for development: survey of UK public's views on brownfield sites and biodiversity (2024)
Journal Article
Macgregor, C., Deutz, P., Bunting, J., & Mayes, W. (2024). Conservation priorities for development: survey of UK public's views on brownfield sites and biodiversity. People, Place and Policy, 18(3), 135-163. https://doi.org/10.3351/ppp.2024.4947649325

Policies prioritising the repurposing of abandoned land ('brownfield sites'), in order to spare undeveloped sites, are widely perceived to limit damage to biodiversity. However, brownfield sites can be of significant ecological value, providing scarc...

The transport and vertical distribution of microplastics in the Mekong River, SE Asia (2024)
Journal Article
Mendrik, F., Hackney, C. R., Cumming, V. M., Waller, C., Hak, D., Dorrell, R., Hung, N. N., & Parsons, D. R. (2025). The transport and vertical distribution of microplastics in the Mekong River, SE Asia. Journal of hazardous materials, 484, Article 136762. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.136762

Rivers are primary vectors of plastic debris to oceans, but sources, transport mechanisms, and fate of fluvial microplastics (<5 mm) remain poorly understood, impeding accurate predictions of microplastic flux, ecological risk and socio-economic impa...

Establishing the Hydrological Controls on Water Surface Area Variations in Oxbow Lakes (2024)
Journal Article
Ahmed, J. (2024). Establishing the Hydrological Controls on Water Surface Area Variations in Oxbow Lakes. Hydrological Processes, 38(12), Article e70013. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.70013

Oxbow lakes are iconic fluvial landforms found in the floodplains of meandering rivers around the world. Their formation is associated with meander cutoff, a process that excises sections of river channel to optimise the downstream transmission of wa...
