The ultra-selective hydrogenation of Furfural on PtCu supported bimetallic nanoparticles and on Pt(111) under ultra-high vacuum (2017)
Thesis
Taylor, M. The ultra-selective hydrogenation of Furfural on PtCu supported bimetallic nanoparticles and on Pt(111) under ultra-high vacuum. (Thesis). Aston University. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/1356923

The selective transformation of furfural, a biomass platform molecule, was studied on Pt based heterogeneous catalysts and model single crystal surfaces. Hydrogenation reactions were carried out at pressures ranging from ultra-high vacuum to 20 bar....

Near-vent processes of the 273 ka Poris eruption (Tenerife) (2012)
Thesis
Smith, N. Near-vent processes of the 273 ka Poris eruption (Tenerife). (Thesis). https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/2598095

Near-vent processes during caldera-forming explosive eruptions are poorly known, as are relations between proximal and counterpart distal ignimbrites. Consequently, understanding of the full course of these eruptions and how to analyse their deposits... Read More about Near-vent processes of the 273 ka Poris eruption (Tenerife).

External actors, high value resources and threatened species: shark fin commodity chains of Northern Madagascar, interception for conservation (2011)
Thesis
Hopkins, C. External actors, high value resources and threatened species: shark fin commodity chains of Northern Madagascar, interception for conservation. (Thesis). Imperial College London. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/2485043

Wildlife trade threatens many exploited populations with unsustainable levels of extraction. The shark fin trade is perceived as a primary driver in the decline of many shark populations. The targeting of sharks by local fisheries to feed the demand...
