Impacts and prospective hazard analysis of rainfall-triggered lahars on St. Vincent 2021–2022
(Geological Society of London, 2024-04)Lahars are energetic flows of loosely consolidated volcanic debris and water, which have occurred frequently after rainfall events on St Vincent in the Eastern Caribbean since the April 2021 explosive phase of the 2020-21 ... -
Occurrence and characteristics of fibreglass-reinforced plastics and microplastics on a beach impacted by abandoned fishing boats: A case study from Chellanam, India
(Elsevier BVEngland, 2023-07)Plastics and microplastics have been quantified and characterised at disposal sites of abandoned fishing boats and along the high-water line (HWL) of a fish landing centre in Chellanam, India. Fibreglass-reinforced plastic ... -
Terrestrial carbon isotope stratigraphy of the Eocene–Oligocene transition, Petrockstowe and Bovey basins, Devon, UK
(Elsevier BV, 2023-06)The terrestrial sediments of the Petrockstowe and Bovey basins in Devon, UK were examined. Their age is considered to be Eocene and Oligocene. The sediments (kaolinitic clays, silts, sands, gravels, and lignites) from ... -
Steady decline in mean annual air temperatures in the first 30 k.y. after the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary
(Geological Society of America, 2023-05-01)The Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary marks one of the five major mass extinctions of the Phanerozoic. The ways in which the climate system responded to a bolide impact and extensive volcanism at this time over different ... -
Accumulation of polystyrene nanoplastics and triclosan by a model tooth-carp fish, Aphaniops hormuzensis (Teleostei: Aphaniidae)
(Elsevier BVEngland, 2023-09)The presence and effects of nanoplastics (NPs; <1 μm) in the aquatic environment are a growing concern. In this study, a model tooth-carp fish, Aphaniops hormuzensis, has been exposed to different concentrations of ... -
Impacts of polyethylene microplastics on the microalga, Spirulina (Arthrospira platensis)
(Elsevier BVEngland, 2023-06)Microalgae play a critical role in the food web and biogeochemical cycling and produce compounds that are commercially exploited. However, their reactions and responses to microplastic contamination are not well understood. ... -
Rapid fluvial remobilization of sediments deposited by the 2021 Chamoli disaster, Indian Himalaya
(Geological Society of America, 2023-07-27)High-magnitude mass flows can have a pervasive geomorphological legacy, yet the short-term response of valley floors to such intense disturbances is poorly known and poses significant observational challenges in unstable ... -
Unravelling and understanding local perceptions of water quality in the Santa basin, Peru
(Elsevier BV, 2023-07)Water quality is an integral part of water security. Measuring the physico-chemical indicators for water quality can provide an objective picture of water health, but it does not provide information on lived experiences ... -
Effects of preservation by ethanol on <scp>δ<sup>13</sup>C</scp> and <scp>δ<sup>15</sup>N</scp> of three tissues of the critically endangered <scp>European</scp> eel <i>Anguilla anguilla</i>
(WileyEngland, 2023-07)The temporal effects of ethanol preservation on the δ13C and δ15N values of tissues excised from European eel Anguilla anguilla were assessed. Preservation significantly enriched 13C values of fin and mucus but not dorsal ... -
The development of arable cultivation in the south-east of England and its relationship with vegetation cover: A honeymoon period for biodiversity?
(SAGE Publications, 2023-07-30)The onset of prehistoric farming brought unprecedented changes to landscapes and their biodiversity. Past biodiversity patterns are broadly understood for different parts of Europe, and demonstrate trajectories that have ...
