UK state identity-making and British overseas territories’ environments in times of ecological crisis and geopolitical change
(2022-05-01)Analysis of state identity constructions can provide important insights into the ideologies, values, ambitions and policies of influential state actors. Existing research on state identities has focused mainly on how such ... -
Distribution of pelagic phytoplankton-derived lipid biomarkers along a transect from the East Sea to the Bering Sea: insights into their suitability as open-water indicators
(The Geological Society of Korea, 2017-08-30)In this study we collected suspended particulate matter (SPM) along a transect from the East Sea to the Bering Sea from 18 to 28 July in 2015. We then analyzed the samples for the Arctic sea ice proxy IP25 together with ... -
Sources, concentrations, distributions, fluxes and fate of microplastics in a hypersaline lake: Maharloo, south-west Iran
(ElsevierNetherlands, 2022-06-01)Hypersaline lakes support unique ecosystems and biogeochemistries but are often subject to anthropogenic pressures from pollution, water abstraction-diversion and climate change. Less understood, however, are the inputs, ... -
Marine fungi and the biological carbon pump - a quest for novel biomarkers for key players in the carbon cycle
(European Association of Geoscientists & Engineers30th International Meeting on Organic Geochemistry (IMOG 2021), Sep 2021, 2021)The biological carbon pump (BCP) has a major role in the ability of the oceans to control the global climate and carbon cycle. Inorganic carbon is assimilated by phytoplankton in the surface ocean and converted into organic ... -
Microplastics in agricultural soils from a semi-arid region and their transport by wind erosion
(ElsevierNetherlands, 2022-09)Despite the importance of agricultural soils, little is known about the fate of microplastics (MPs) in this environment. In the present study, MPs have been determined in soils and wind-eroded sediments from two ... -
Microplastics captured by snowfall: A study in Northern Iran
(ElsevierNetherlands, 2022-05-20)Samples of fresh snow (n = 34) have been collected from 29 locations in various urban and remote regions of northern Iran following a period of sustained snowfall and the thawed contents examined for microplastics (MPs) ... -
Microplastics in the atmosphere of Ahvaz City, Iran
(ElsevierNetherlands, 2022-03-12)Airborne particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic size cutoff of 10 µm (PM10) has been collected using a high volume air sampler at two locations (urban and residential) in the city of Ahvaz, Iran, for sixteen 24-hour ... -
PBDEs in the marine environment: Sources, pathways and the role of microplastics
(ElsevierEngland, 2022-05-15)Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) are an important group of additives in plastics that increase resistance to ignition and slow down the rate of burning. Because of concerns about their environmental and human health ... -
Sediment source apportionment following wildfire in an upland commercial forest catchment
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-06)Purpose Wildfires can have major impacts on water scarcity and water quality linked to off-site transfer of polluting ash and nutrients. Understanding sediment sources in burnt landscapes can help to develop mitigation ...
