High-precision U-Pb dating of complex zircon from the Lewisian Gneiss Complex of Scotland using an incremental CA-ID-TIMS approach
(2015)A novel approach of thermally annealing and sequentially partially dissolving single zircon grains prior to high-precision Isotope Dilution Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ID-TIMS) is presented. This technique is ... -
The impact of agricultural management practices on nutrient losses to water: data on the effects of soil drainage characteristics
(2005)Against the background of increasing nutrient concentrations in Irish water bodies, this study set out to gain information on the potential of agricultural grassland to lose nutrients to water. Overland flow, flow from ... -
The impact of strike-slip, transtensional and transpressional fault zones on volcanoes. Part1: scaled experiments
(Elsevier, 2011)The activity of a regional strike-slip fault can affect or channel magma migration, can deform a volcano and can destabilise the edifice flanks. The aim of this study is to determine the location, strike, dip and slip of ... -
Inhibition of Calcite Growth: Combined Effects of Mg2+ and SO42–
(2016)Magnesium and sulfate are each known to affect calcite growth and dissolution, but little is known about their combined effects on calcite growth rates. We grew calcite using the constant composition approach at ambient ... -
The interaction between volcanoes and strike-slip, transtensional and transpressional fault zones: Analogue models and natural examples
(Elsevier, 2011)Regional strike-slip faulting can control magma movements, deform volcanoes and may destabilise their flanks. The aim of this study is to address this problem by comparing two natural examples, Basse Terre Island volcanoes, ... -
An investigation of anticoccidial veterinary drugs as emerging organic contaminants in groundwater
(Elsevier, 2020)Intensification of the food production system to meet increased global demand for food has led to veterinary pharmaceuticals becoming a critical component in animal husbandry. Anticoccidials are a group of veterinary ... -
Is bicarbonate stable in and on the calcite surface?
(2016)We have used density functional theory with the COSMO-RS implicit solvent model to predict the pKa for the deprotonation of bicarbonate to carbonate, i.e. HCO3− <=> CO32− + H+, when HCO3− is included in, and adsorbed on, ... -
The Jurassic Period
(Elsevier, 2020)Ammonites underwent an evolutionary diversification after the mass extinction of the end Triassic induced by the formation of a Large Igneous province (LIP), and this group provides the most useful marine biostratigraphy. ... -
LA-ICP-MS U-Pb apatite dating of Lower Cretaceous rocks from teschenite-picrite association in the Silesian unit (southern Poland)
(2014)The main products of volcanic activity in the teschenite-picrite association (TPA) are shallow, sub-volcanic intrusions, which predominate over extrusive volcanic rocks. They comprise a wide range of intrusive rocks which ... -
LA-ICP-MS U-Pb dating and REE patterns of apatite from the Tatra Mountains, Poland as a monitor of the regional tectonomagmatic activity
(2014)This study presents apatite LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age and trace elements concentrations data from different granite types from the Tatra Mountains, Poland. Apatite from monazite and xenotime-bearing High Tatra granite was dated ... -
Lake Ohrid?s tephrochronological dataset reveals 1.36?Ma of Mediterranean explosive volcanic activity
(2021)Tephrochronology relies on the availability of the stratigraphical, geochemical and geochronological datasets of volcanic deposits, three preconditions which are both often only fragmentary accessible. This study presents ... -
The marine isotope stage 1 to 5 cryptotephra record of Tenaghi Philippon, Greece: Towards a detailed tephrostratigraphic framework for the Eastern Mediterranean region
(2018)The iconic climate archive of Tenaghi Philippon (TP), NE Greece, allows the study of short-term palaeoclimatic and environmental change throughout the past 1.3 Ma. To provide high-quality age control for detailed palaeoclimate ... -
Metasomatism of the Kaapvaal Craton during Cretaceous intraplate magmatism revealed by combined zircon U-Pb isotope and trace element analysis
(2021)The origins of the mica-amphibole(K-richterite)-rutile-ilmenite-diopside (MARID) and the, presumably related, phlogopite-K-richterite-peridotite (PKP) mantle xenolith suites remain enigmatic. For instance, it is unclear ... -
Microanalysis of Cl, Br and I in apatite, scapolite and silicate glass by LA-ICP-MS
(2020)Constraining the abundance and distribution of halogens in geological materials has the potential to provide novel insights into a broad range of earth system processes (e.g. metasomatism, melting, volatile cycling and ore ...
