Assessment of the 187Re decay constant by cross calibration of Re–Os molybdenite and U–Pb zircon chronometers in magmatic ore systems (2007)
Journal Article
Selby, D., Creaser, R., Stein, H., Markey, R., & Hannah, J. (2007). Assessment of the 187Re decay constant by cross calibration of Re–Os molybdenite and U–Pb zircon chronometers in magmatic ore systems. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 71(8), 1999-2013. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2007.01.008

The past decade has seen renewed interest in 187Re–187Os geochronology using a variety of matrices including sulfide minerals, shales and meteorites. The most widely used value of the 187Re decay constant (λ 187Re) is 1.666 ± 0.005 × 10−11 a−1 (±0.31...

Bacterial fossils and microbial dolomite in Triassic stromatolites (2007)
Journal Article
Perri, E., & Tucker, M. (2007). Bacterial fossils and microbial dolomite in Triassic stromatolites. Geology, 35(3), 207-210. https://doi.org/10.1130/g23354a.1

Triassic stromatolitic dolomite from Italy preserves mineralized bacterial remains, one of the first unequivocal identifications of such structures in the geological record. They consist of empty spheroids 1.0 µm diameter resembling coccoid bacteria,... Read More about Bacterial fossils and microbial dolomite in Triassic stromatolites.

Geostatistical and multi-elemental analysis of soils to interpret land-use history in the Hebrides, Scotland (2007)
Journal Article
Entwistle, J., McCaffrey, K., & Dodgshon, R. (2007). Geostatistical and multi-elemental analysis of soils to interpret land-use history in the Hebrides, Scotland. Geoarchaeology, 22(4), 391-415

In the absence of documentary evidence about settlement form and agricultural practice in northwest Scotland before the mid-18th century, a geoarchaeological approach to reconstructing medieval land use and settlement form is presented here. This stu... Read More about Geostatistical and multi-elemental analysis of soils to interpret land-use history in the Hebrides, Scotland.

Flux of dissolved organic carbon from U.K. rivers (2007)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., & Burt, T. (2007). Flux of dissolved organic carbon from U.K. rivers. Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 21, https://doi.org/10.1029/2006gb002709

The rise in dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in the Northern Hemisphere in recent decades has been taken as indicative of increased turnover of terrestrial carbon and in particular in the vital reserve of peat. Hypotheses for this rise h... Read More about Flux of dissolved organic carbon from U.K. rivers.

Adaptive dosing and platinum-DNA adduct formation in children receiving high-dose carboplatin for the treatment of solid tumours (2007)
Journal Article

Adaptive dosing and platinum-DNA adduct formation in children receiving high-dose carboplatin for the treatment of solid tumours. British Journal of Cancer, 96(5), 725-731. https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.bjc.6603607

A pharmacokinetic–pharmacodynamic study was carried out to investigate the feasibility and potential importance of therapeutic monitoring following high-dose carboplatin treatment in children. High-dose carboplatin was administered over 3 or 5 days,...

Temperatures in ambient mantle and plumes: Constraints from basalts, picrites, and komatiites (2007)
Journal Article
Herzberg, C., Asimow, P., Arndt, N., Niu, Y., Lesher, C., Fitton, J., …Saunders, A. (2007). Temperatures in ambient mantle and plumes: Constraints from basalts, picrites, and komatiites. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 8(2), Article Q02006. https://doi.org/10.1029/2006gc001390

Several methods have been developed to assess the thermal state of the mantle below oceanic ridges, islands, and plateaus, on the basis of the petrology and geochemistry of erupted lavas. One leads to the conclusion that mantle potential temperature... Read More about Temperatures in ambient mantle and plumes: Constraints from basalts, picrites, and komatiites.
