First international inter-laboratory comparison of high-pressure CH4, CO2 and C2H6 sorption isotherms on carbonaceous shales (2014)
Journal Article
Gasparik, M., Rexer, T., Aplin, A., Billemont, P., DeWeireld, G., Gensterblum, Y., …Zhang, T. (2014). First international inter-laboratory comparison of high-pressure CH4, CO2 and C2H6 sorption isotherms on carbonaceous shales. International Journal of Coal Geology, 132, 131-146. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coal.2014.07.010

An inter-laboratory study of high-pressure gas sorption measurements on two carbonaceous shales has been conducted in order to assess the reproducibility of the sorption isotherms and identify possible sources of error. The measurements were carried... Read More about First international inter-laboratory comparison of high-pressure CH4, CO2 and C2H6 sorption isotherms on carbonaceous shales.

Crystallization of interstitial liquid and latent heat buffering in solidifying gabbros: Skaergaard Intrusion, Greenland (2014)
Journal Article
Namur, O., Humphreys, M. C., & Holness, M. B. (2014). Crystallization of interstitial liquid and latent heat buffering in solidifying gabbros: Skaergaard Intrusion, Greenland. Journal of Petrology, 55(7), 1389-1427. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egu028

New compositional profiles across plagioclase grains from the Layered Series (LS), Marginal Border Series (MBS) and Upper Border Series (UBS) of the Skaergaard intrusion are used to understand the mechanisms of cumulate rock solidification and the fa...

Building with History: Exploring the Relationship between Heritage and Energy in Institutionally Managed Buildings (2014)
Journal Article
Adams, C., Douglas-Jones, R., Green, A., Lewis, Q., & Yarrow, T. (2014). Building with History: Exploring the Relationship between Heritage and Energy in Institutionally Managed Buildings. The Historic Environment: Policy & Practice, 5(2), 167-181. https://doi.org/10.1179/1756750514z.00000000053

Drawing on interdisciplinary research focusing on Durham University estate, we describe how buildings constructed as part of an eighteenth century transition to a high carbon coal-based economy, are used and understood by their current inhabitants. A... Read More about Building with History: Exploring the Relationship between Heritage and Energy in Institutionally Managed Buildings.

The flux of radionuclides in flowback fluid from shale gas exploitation (2014)
Journal Article
Almond, S., Clancy, S., Davies, R., & Worrall, F. (2014). The flux of radionuclides in flowback fluid from shale gas exploitation. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 21(21), 12316-12324. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-014-3118-y

This study considers the flux of radioactivity in flowback fluid from shale gas development in three areas: the Carboniferous, Bowland Shale, UK; the Silurian Shale, Poland; and the Carboniferous Barnett Shale, USA. The radioactive flux from these ba... Read More about The flux of radionuclides in flowback fluid from shale gas exploitation.

The α-β phase transition in volcanic cristobalite (2014)
Journal Article
Damby, D., Llewellin, E., Horwell, C., Williamson, B., Najorka, J., Cressey, G., & Carpenter, M. (2014). The α-β phase transition in volcanic cristobalite. Journal of Applied Crystallography, 47(4), 1205-1215. https://doi.org/10.1107/s160057671401070x

Cristobalite is a common mineral in volcanic ash produced from dome-forming eruptions. Assessment of the respiratory hazard posed by volcanic ash requires understanding the nature of the cristobalite it contains. Volcanic cristobalite contains couple...

Distribution of dissolved water in magmatic glass records growth and resorption of bubbles (2014)
Journal Article
McIntosh, I., Llewellin, E., Humphreys, M., Nichols, A., Burgisser, A., Schipper, C., & Larsen, J. (2014). Distribution of dissolved water in magmatic glass records growth and resorption of bubbles. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 401, 1-11. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2014.05.037

Volcanic eruptions are driven by the growth of gas bubbles in magma. Bubbles grow when dissolved volatile species, principally water, diffuse through the silicate melt and exsolve at the bubble wall. On rapid cooling, the melt quenches to glass, pres... Read More about Distribution of dissolved water in magmatic glass records growth and resorption of bubbles.

Enriched lithospheric mantle keel below the Scottish margin of the North Atlantic Craton: Evidence from the Palaeoproterozoic Scourie Dyke Swarm and mantle xenoliths (2014)
Journal Article
Hughes, H., McDonald, I., Goodenough, K., Ciborowski, T., Kerr, A., Davies, J., & Selby, D. (2014). Enriched lithospheric mantle keel below the Scottish margin of the North Atlantic Craton: Evidence from the Palaeoproterozoic Scourie Dyke Swarm and mantle xenoliths. Precambrian Research, 250, 97-126. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.precamres.2014.05.026

The Lewisian Gneiss Complex of NW Scotland represents the eastern margin of the North Atlantic Craton. It comprises mid-late Archaean tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite gneisses that were metamorphosed and deformed during the Late-Archaean and Palaeo...

Unlocking the zinc isotope systematics of iron meteorites (2014)
Journal Article
Bridgestock, L., Williams, H., Rehkämper, M., Larner, F., Giscard, M., Hammond, S., …Schönbächler, M. (2014). Unlocking the zinc isotope systematics of iron meteorites. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 400, 153-164. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2014.05.029

Zinc isotope compositions (δ 66Zn) and concentrations were determined for metal samples of 15 iron meteorites across groups IAB, IIAB, and IIIAB. Also analyzed were troilite and other inclusions from the IAB iron Toluca. Furthermore, the first Zn iso... Read More about Unlocking the zinc isotope systematics of iron meteorites.
