Formation and degradation of a porphyry occurrence: The Oligocene Khatoon-Abad porphyry Mo-Cu system, NW Iran (2024)
Journal Article
Rabiee, A., Rossetti, F., Lustrino, M., Azizi, H., Asahara, Y., Alipour, S., & Selby, D. (2024). Formation and degradation of a porphyry occurrence: The Oligocene Khatoon-Abad porphyry Mo-Cu system, NW Iran. Ore Geology Reviews, 174, Article 106330. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.oregeorev.2024.106330

This study investigates the temporal relationships between mineralization and magmatism in the Khatoon-Abad porphyry Mo-Cu deposit (Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Arc, NW Iran). Integrated zircon U-Pb and molybdenite Re-Os dating document a prolonged stati...

Of ships and soundboxes: Contrapuntal explorations of hydrocoloniality and the materiality of music (2024)
Journal Article
Astorga de Ita, D. (2024). Of ships and soundboxes: Contrapuntal explorations of hydrocoloniality and the materiality of music. Geoforum, 157, Article 104156. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2024.104156

In this paper I explore the relation between music, (enviro)materiality, and coloniality by examining son Jarocho, the music of the Mexican region of Sotavento in southeast Mexico. This essay brings together geography, blue humanities, and ecomusicol... Read More about Of ships and soundboxes: Contrapuntal explorations of hydrocoloniality and the materiality of music.

Rhenium isotope variations in Icelandic groundwaters and hydrothermal systems (2024)
Journal Article
Wang, W., Dickson, A. J., Dellinger, M., Burton, K. W., Clark, D. E., Eggertsson, G. H., Einarsdóttir, Í. E., Ingimarsson, H., Mesfin, K. G., Hilton, R. G., & Prytulak, J. (2024). Rhenium isotope variations in Icelandic groundwaters and hydrothermal systems. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 647, Article 119046. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2024.119046

The isotopic composition of rhenium (Re) has potential for use as a proxy to infer changes in seafloor redox and/or global oxidative weathering intensity. Despite an emerging dataset on this nascent isotope system in Earth's surficial environments, v... Read More about Rhenium isotope variations in Icelandic groundwaters and hydrothermal systems.

Feasibility of a heat pump-assisted liquid desiccant system for continuous dehumidification and regeneration in temperate oceanic climatic greenhouses (2024)
Journal Article
Bhowmik, M., Giampieri, A., Bean, J., Paul Roskilly, A., & Ma, Z. (2025). Feasibility of a heat pump-assisted liquid desiccant system for continuous dehumidification and regeneration in temperate oceanic climatic greenhouses. Energy Conversion and Management, 323(A), Article 119256. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2024.119256

Effective thermo-hygrometric control is essential for buildings and greenhouses, particularly in green and low-carbon production. There is growing interest in integrating heat pumps with liquid desiccant systems to enhance energy efficiency and reduc...

Exerting control of self-assembly pathways via morphological switching and patterning in amino-acid-based benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide conjugates (2024)
Journal Article
Savyasachi, A. J., Kotova, O., Luis, E. T., Lynes, A. D., Mills, S., Bright, S. A., McManus, G. J., Möbius, M. E., Williams, D. C., Pal, R., Boland, J. J., & Gunnlaugsson, T. (online). Exerting control of self-assembly pathways via morphological switching and patterning in amino-acid-based benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide conjugates. Chem, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chempr.2024.09.020

Small structural changes to benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxamide (BTA) dictate its self-assembly behavior and morphological outcome. Functionalization with an α-amino acid close to the BTA core, which also possesses a terminal terpyridine (tpy) unit, led to...
