Quantifying sediment and particulate phosphorus accumulation in restored floodplain wetlands using beryllium‐7 as a tracer
(Wiley, 2022-11-20)Floodplain wetlands in agricultural river basins provide critical ecosystem services such as nutrient retention, flood mitigation, carbon sequestration and ecological habitats and are a key component of a nature-based ... -
Volcanism and carbon cycle perturbations in the High Arctic during the Late Jurassic – Early Cretaceous
(Elsevier BV, 2023-03-01)Large perturbations in the global carbon cycle recorded as carbon-isotope (δ13C) excursions (CIEs) in both organic carbon and carbonate records have been linked to volcanism during the emplacement of Large Igneous Provinces ... -
First, do no harm: time for a systems approach to address the problem of health-care-derived pharmaceutical pollution
(Elsevier BVNetherlands, 2022-12)Chemical pollution is considered one of the nine planetary boundaries, and increasing evidence suggests that we are already operating outside of this, risking irreversible environmental change. Pharmaceutical chemicals ... -
Lead and chromium in European road paints
(Elsevier BVEngland, 2023-01-01)Lead chromate was commonly employed as a pigment in coloured road markings until restrictions led to the development of safer alternatives. In this study, the presence and concentrations of Pb and Cr have been determined ... -
Association of metals with expanded polystyrene in the marine environment
(Elsevier BVNetherlands, 2023-05-01)Expanded polystyrene (EPS) has characteristics distinctively different to many thermoplastics that strongly influence its behaviour in the marine environment. However, the extent and nature of its interactions with metals ... -
Glass microbeads in coastal sediments as a proxy for traffic-related particulate contamination
(Elsevier BVEngland, 2023-03)Retroreflective glass microbeads used in road markings have been characterised and subsequently identified in urban coastal sediments. Clear or translucent silica beads range in diameter from about 30 to 700 μm and readily ... -
Microplastics in coastal urban sediments: Discrepancies in concentration and character revealed by different approaches to sample processing
(Elsevier BVNetherlands, 2023-03-20)Intertidal, silty sediment samples have been collected from three coastal locations with different uses and anthropogenic signatures in the vicinity of Plymouth, southwest England, and analysed for microplastics (MPs) by ... -
Lead in painted surfaces and dusts from rented urban properties (Plymouth, UK)
(Elsevier BVEngland, 2023-01-01)X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry has been used to measure lead (Pb) in painted surfaces and indoor dusts from 14 rented properties in the city of Plymouth, UK. Lead was detected in 78 out of 164 surfaces measured ... -
The determination of volatile amines in aquatic marine systems: A review
(Elsevier BVNetherlands, 2023-02-08)This review provides a critical assessment of knowledge regarding the determination of volatile, low molecular weight amines, and particularly methylamines, in marine aquatic; systems. It provides context for the motivation ... -
Analyzing drainage basin orientation and its relationship to active fold growth (Handun anticline, Zagros, Iran)
(Elsevier, 2023-04-01)Combinations of tectonic geomorphological criteria are frequently used to detect vertical and lateral growth of fold structures in tectonically active settings due to their low cost and relative ease of application. The ...
