The anchoring effect of climate change acts: a policy streams analysis of Ireland’s climate act reform
(Informa UK Limited, 2024-03-15)The number of political jurisdictions introducing climate change acts (CCAs) has grown in recent years. As framework legislation, CCAs seek to exert anchoring effects on climate policy development by establishing general ... -
A climate perturbation at the Middle –Late Jurassic Transition? Evaluating the isotopic evidence from south-central England
(Elsevier BV, 2023-10)The Jurassic greenhouse is punctuated by short cooling intervals. Some published oxygen isotope records of belemnite rostra and fish teeth have been interpreted to reveal a prominent decrease in seawater temperature during ... -
Localization of Deformation in a Non‐Collisional Subduction Orogen: The Roles of Dip Geometry and Plate Strength on the Evolution of the Broken Andean Foreland, Sierras Pampeanas, Argentina
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2023-08)The southern Central Andes (SCA, 27°–40°S) exhibit a complex deformation pattern that is influenced by multiple factors, including the present‐day dip angle of the subducting oceanic Nazca plate and the influence of ... -
Physical and chemical effects of conventional microplastic glitter versus alternative glitter particles on a freshwater plant (Lemnaceae: Lemna minor)
(Elsevier BVNetherlands, 2023-09-15)Glitters are primary microplastics which are directly littered into the environment, yet the ecological effects have seldom been tested. When microplastics enter the environment, their physical presence and chemical ... -
Coastal permafrost was massively eroded during the Bølling-Allerød warm period
(Nature Research, 2023-10-03)The Bølling-Allerød interstadial (14,700–12,900 years before present), during the last deglaciation, was characterized by rapid warming and sea level rise. Yet, the response of the Arctic terrestrial cryosphere during ... -
Constraining Historical Earthquake Sequences With Coulomb Stress Models: An Example From Western Türkiye
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2023-11)Knowledge of earthquake source faults is crucial for the calculation of robust Coulomb stress models. However, source faults are often poorly constrained, especially for pre-instrumental events, and these historical ... -
High-resolution quantitative vegetation reconstruction in the North China Plain during the early-to-middle Holocene using the REVEALS model
(Elsevier, 2024-01)Understanding the process and pattern of vegetation succession during the early-to-middle Holocene can yield valuable information for better predicting future vegetation evolution. In this study, we investigated the ... -
Peat fires and the unknown risk of legacy metal and metalloid pollution
(IOP Publishing, 2023-07-01)Introduction. Peatlands have persisted for millennia, acting as globally-important sinks of atmospheric carbon dioxide (Yu 2012) and regionally-important role sinks of pollutants, such as lead, arsenic, or mercury (toxic ... -

Optimisation of plutonium separations using TEVA cartridges and ICP-MS/MS analysis for applicability to large-scale studies in tropical soils
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)England, 2023-08-16)The analysis of plutonium (Pu) in soil samples can inform the understanding of soil erosion processes globally. However, there are specific challenges associated for analysis in tropical soils and so an optimal analytical ...
