Short term impact of peat drain blocking on water colour, dissolved organic carbon concentration and water table depth (2007)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., Armstrong, A., & Holden, J. (2007). Short term impact of peat drain blocking on water colour, dissolved organic carbon concentration and water table depth. Journal of Hydrology, 337(2-4), 315-325. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2007.01.046

Water discolouration is a major management problem for UK water companies as a proportion of the supply relies on runoff from peat-covered catchments. Many peats have been drained using surface ditches but this has been shown to lead to more severe w...

Shifting gender relations at Khok Phanom Di, Thailand: Isotopic evidence from the skeletons (2007)
Journal Article
Bentley, R., Tayles, N., Higham, C., Macpherson, C., & Atkinson, T. (2007). Shifting gender relations at Khok Phanom Di, Thailand: Isotopic evidence from the skeletons. Current Anthropology, 48(2), 301-314. https://doi.org/10.1086/512987

The values for isotopes of strontium, carbon, and oxygen in human tooth enamel from the prehistoric site of Khok Phanom Di (ca. 2100–1500 BC) in Thailand shed light on human mobility and marital residence during a crucial period of subsistence change...

Helium isotopic evidence for episodic mantle melting and crustal growth (2007)
Journal Article
Parman, S. (2007). Helium isotopic evidence for episodic mantle melting and crustal growth. Nature, 446(7138), 900-903. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature05691

The timing of formation of the Earth’s continental crust is the subject of a long-standing debate, with models ranging from early formation with little subsequent growth, to pulsed growth, to steadily increasing growth. But most models do agree that... Read More about Helium isotopic evidence for episodic mantle melting and crustal growth.

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...

A preliminary analysis of the DNA and diet of the extinct Beothuk: A systematic approach to ancient human DNA (2007)
Journal Article
Kuch, M., Gröcke, D., Knyf, M., Thomas, M., Gilbert, P., Younghusband, B., …Poinar, H. (2007). A preliminary analysis of the DNA and diet of the extinct Beothuk: A systematic approach to ancient human DNA. American journal of physical anthropology, 132(4), 594-604. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.20536

We have used a systematic protocol for extracting, quantitating, sexing and validating ancient human mitochondrial and nuclear DNA of one male and one female Beothuk, a Native American population from Newfoundland, which became extinct 180 years ago....

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

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,...
