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.

Biodiversity benefits of coal mine water remediation schemes for bird life (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Jaques, R. O., Moorhouse-Parry, A. M. L., Carline, R., Mayes, W. M., & Hull, S. L. (2021). Biodiversity benefits of coal mine water remediation schemes for bird life. In Proceedings of the IMWA Congress “Mine Water Management for Future Generations”. Editors: Peter Stanley, Christian Wolkersdorfer, Karoline Wolkersdorfer

Lagoons and reedbeds are established components of mine water treatment systems for iron-rich coal mine drainage. This study coupled modified British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) Breeding Bird Survey monitoring with habitat survey to assess the presen...

Analysis of long term hydrological records to assess the changing regime and pathways in oil shale mining districts of North East Estonia (2011)
Conference Proceeding
Vaht, R., Mayes, W. M., Sepp, M., Järvet, A., & Mander, Ü. (2011). Analysis of long term hydrological records to assess the changing regime and pathways in oil shale mining districts of North East Estonia. . https://doi.org/10.2495/rm110031

This paper documents long term (1923-2005) changes in surface drainage areas and run-off characteristics in two small to medium (100-1000 km2) rivers draining part of the Ordovician oil shale field of north east Estonia. The changing regime in the he... Read More about Analysis of long term hydrological records to assess the changing regime and pathways in oil shale mining districts of North East Estonia.

Basin scale fluxes of metals from historically mined orefields in the UK. (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Mayes, W. M., Rolls, T., Potter, H. A., & Jarvis, A. P. (2009). Basin scale fluxes of metals from historically mined orefields in the UK. In Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Acid Rock Drainage

The flux of metals at the tidal limits of major rivers are an important metric of freshwater contaminant transfer to marine habitats, reported in North-East Atlantic bordering countries under the 1992 OSPAR Convention. This paper critically assesses... Read More about Basin scale fluxes of metals from historically mined orefields in the UK..
