Journal Article
Coulthard, T. J., Ramirez, J. A., Barton, N., Rogerson, M., & Brücher, T. (2013). Were rivers flowing across the Sahara during the last interglacial? Implications for human migration through Africa. PLoS ONE, 8(9), 0-0. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0074834

Human migration north through Africa is contentious. This paper uses a novel palaeohydrological and hydraulic modelling approach to test the hypothesis that under wetter climates c.100,000 years ago major river systems ran north across the Sahara to...

Mine water geochemistry and metal flux in a major historic Pb-Zn-F orefield, the Yorkshire Pennines, UK (2013)
Journal Article
Jones, A., Rogerson, M., Greenway, G., Potter, H. A., & Mayes, W. M. (2013). Mine water geochemistry and metal flux in a major historic Pb-Zn-F orefield, the Yorkshire Pennines, UK. Environmental science and pollution research, 20(11), 7570-7581. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-013-1513-4

Recent studies have shown up to 6 % of rivers in England and Wales to be impacted by discharges from abandoned metal mines. Despite the large extent of impacts, there are still many areas where mine water impact assessments are limited by data availa...
