Ultra-Trace Analysis of Fallout Plutonium Isotopes in Soil: Emerging Trends and Future Perspectives
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-05-03)The measurement of isotopic abundances and ratio variations of plutonium can provide important information about the sources and behaviours of radiogenic isotopes in the environment. The detection of ultra-trace isotopes ... -
Legacy radionuclides in cryoconite and proglacial sediment on Orwell Glacier, Signy Island, Antarctica
(Elsevier BVEngland, 2023-08)Cryoconite is a specific type of material found on the surface of glaciers and icesheets. Samples of cryoconite were collected from the Orwell Glacier and its moraines, together with suspended sediment from the proglacial ... -
Trace Fossils in the Permian Rocks of English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark
(2021-06-01)The Permian breccias, conglomerates and sandstones of the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark were deposited in quite harsh, desert environments just north of the Permian Equator. Body fossil evidence is completely ... -
The Coral-rich Devonian Limestones of the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark
(2021-06-01)The coral-rich limestones of the English Riviera UNESCO Global Geopark were an important component of the original definition of the Devonian System, introduced by Sedgwick and Murchison in 1840. They are, therefore, both ... -
A Grand Canonical Monte Carlo Simulation for the Evaluation of Pore Size Distribution of Nuclear-Grade Graphite from Kr Adsorption Isotherms
(MDPI AG, 2023)Characterizing materials with low surface areas or with very small sample sizes requires innovative approaches beyond traditional N2 and Ar adsorption measurements. The measurement of Kr adsorption isotherms is often ... -
Thinning and surface mass balance patterns of two neighbouring debris-covered glaciers in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau
(Copernicus GmbH, 2023-09-12)Debris-covered glaciers are a common feature of the mountain cryosphere in the southeastern Tibetan Plateau. A better understanding of these glaciers is necessary to reduce the uncertainties in regional water resource ... -
Voices from the Field: Brexit, citizenship and agricultural labour
(Elsevier BV, 2023-10)Drawing on a case-study of Cornwall in the South-West of England, this paper has three main aims. First, it seeks to listen to the voices of migrant workers and, in doing so, learn more about their experiences of moving ... -
The ‘capability’ of South African energy governance to deliver urban sustainable transitions
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-09-27)Critical to the trajectory and outcome of urban sustainable energy transitions is the ability of government institutions to foster conditions for change and innovation. In this paper, a theoretical perspective combining ... -
Substantial light woodland and open vegetation characterised the temperate forest biome before Homo sapiens
(American Association for the Advancement of ScienceUnited States, 2023-11-10)The extent of vegetation openness in past European landscapes is widely debated. In particular, the temperate forest biome has traditionally been defined as dense, closed-canopy forest; however, some argue that large ... -
Smart water metering as a non-invasive tool to infer dwelling type and occupancy – Implications for the collection of neighbourhood-level housing and tourism statistics
(Elsevier BV, 2023-10)The international rollout of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) in the residential water supply sector affords tremendous benefits in driving water-use efficiencies, accurate billing and network management (e.g. leak ...
