Development and optimisation of a multi-residue method for the determination of 40 anthelmintic drugs in environmental water samples by solid phase extraction (SPE) with LC-MS/MS detection
(MDPI, 2019-05-22)A comprehensive multiresidue method was developed and validated for the determination of 40 anthelmintic compounds, including 13 transformation products, in surface and groundwater samples at sub nanogram per litre (ng ... -
Does Large Igneous Province Volcanism Always Perturb the Mercury Cycle? Comparing the Records of Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 and the End-cretaceous to Other Mesozoic Events
(2018)Mercury (Hg) is increasingly being used as a sedimentary tracer of Large Igneous Province (LIP) volcanism, and supports hypotheses of a coincidence between the formation of several LIPs and episodes of mass extinction and ... -
Early mafic magmatism and crustal anatexis on the Isle of Rum: evidence from the Am M?m intrusion breccia
(2009)The Rum Igneous Centre comprises two early marginal felsic complexes (the Northern Marginal Zone and the Southern Mountains Zone), along with the later central ultrabasic?basic layered intrusions. These marginal complexes ... -
The effect of aspartic acid and glycine on amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) structure, stability and crystallization
(Elsevier, 2014)The effect of organic molecules on CaCO3 crystallization, in particular on the formation of the initial amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) phase, is poorly understood despite this knowledge being crucial for designing ... -
The effect of heating on the morphology of crystalline neodymium hydroxycarbonate, NdCO3OH
(2014)The crystallization of hexagonal NdCO3OH through hydrothermal synthesis carried out at slow (reaching the desired temperature within 100 min) and quick (50 min) rates of heating but at variable temperatures (165–220ºC) are ... -
The effects of land drainage on groundwater resources in karstic areas of Ireland
(Geological Publishing House, Beijing, China, 1988)The impact of land drainage on groundwater resources is particularly acute in karst areas because of the unique characteristics of karstic aquifers. Arterial drainage of karst lowlands in Ireland, involving the construction ... -
Effects of over-winter green cover on groundwater nitrate and dissolved organic carbon concentrations beneath tillage land
(Elsevier, 2012)Application of over-winter green cover (e.g. cover crops) as a measure for reducing nitrate losses from tillage land has been frequently investigated, especially in the unsaturated zone. Monitoring of groundwater is less ... -
Elemental and isotopic behaviour of Zn in Deccan basalt weathering profiles: Chemical weathering from bedrock to laterite and links to Zn deficiency in tropical soils
(2018)Zinc (Zn) is a micronutrient for organisms and essential for plant growth, therefore knowledge of its elemental cycling in the surface environment is important regarding wider aspects of human nutrition and health. To ... -
Evaluating the influence of groundwater pressures on groundwater-dependent wetlands

Evaluating the utility of 15N and 18O isotope abundance analyses to identify nitrate sources: A soil zone study
(2012)15N and 18O isotope abundance analyses in nitrate (NO3?) (expressed as ?15N-NO3? and ?18O-NO3? values respectively) have often been used in research to help identify NO3? sources in rural groundwater. However, questions ... -
Evaluating UK natural hazards: the national risk assessment
(UK Parliament, 2019)Despite its relatively temperate climate and stable geography, natural hazards present multiple risks to human activity in the UK. These range from small-scale local occurrences, such as landslides, through regional ... -
An experimental study of hydroxylbastnasite solubility in aqueous solutions at 25 °C
(2016)The mobility of rare earth elements (REEs) in natural aqueous solutions is of increasing interest due to their application in numerous high-tech and renewable energy technologies (e.g., wind turbines and electric vehicles), ... -
An exsolution origin for Archean mantle garnet
(2017)It is well established that the cratonic subcontinental lithospheric mantle (C-SCLM) represents a residue of extensively melted peridotite. The widespread occurrence of garnet in C-SCLM remains a paradox because experiments ... -
The field and remote sensing analysis of the Kerguelen Archipelago structure, Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2011)The Kerguelen Archipelago is part of an oceanic plateau with a complex history. Little work has been done on the tectonics of the onshore areas, even though the extensive outcrop renders the islands especially good for ... -
Formation of calcium sulfate through the aggregation of sub-3 nanometre primary species
(2016)The formation pathways of gypsum remain uncertain. Here, using truly in situ and fast time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering, we quantify the four-stage solution-based nucleation and growth of gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O), an ...
