The Contribution of Major Historical Orefields to Coastal Trace Metal(loid) Fluxes in North-East England (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Riley, A. L., Onnis, P., Gandy, C. J., Kanu, C. V., Umeobika, C. V., Cameron, J., …Mayes, W. M. (2023). The Contribution of Major Historical Orefields to Coastal Trace Metal(loid) Fluxes in North-East England. In IMWA 2023 – ”Y Dyfodol | The Future”. Proceedings of the International Mine Water Association Conference (421-427)

Mine waters and tailings are key inputs to riverine metal(loid) transport to the coast. However, coastal areas also face local contaminant pressures, e.g. active industries and abandoned landfill sites. Annual riverine metal(loid) flux data were asse...

A GIS-Based Prioritisation of Coastal Legacy Mine Spoil Deposits in England and Wales for Effective Future Management (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Riley, A., Onnis, P., Jennings, E., Crane, R., Hudson-Edwards, K., Comber, S., …Mayes, W. (2021). A GIS-Based Prioritisation of Coastal Legacy Mine Spoil Deposits in England and Wales for Effective Future Management. In Proceedings of the 14th IMWA Congress – Mine Water Management for Future Generations (458-464)

Increases in coastal flooding and erosion due to climate change threaten many coastal mine waste deposits in the UK. As such, a robust approach to prioritising sites for management is required. A spatial dataset of 9094 mine spoil deposits in Englan... Read More about A GIS-Based Prioritisation of Coastal Legacy Mine Spoil Deposits in England and Wales for Effective Future Management.
