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...

Mega-nourishments, where large volumes of sediment are deposited on coastlines, are increasingly employed to manage shoreline erosion, yet our understanding of their long-term behaviour is limited by the fact that most current schemes are less than 1...

Environmental behaviour of iron and steel slags in coastal settings (2024)
Journal Article
Riley, A. L., Cameron, J., Burke, I. T., Onnis, P., Macdonald, J. M., Gandy, C. J., Crane, R. A., Byrne, P., Comber, S., Jarvis, A. P., Hudson-Edwards, K. A., & Mayes, W. M. (2024). Environmental behaviour of iron and steel slags in coastal settings. Environmental science and pollution research, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-024-33897-4

Iron and steel slags have a long history of both disposal and beneficial use in the coastal zone. Despite the large volumes of slag deposited, comprehensive assessments of potential risks associated with metal(loid) leaching from iron and steel by-pr...
