Stewart, C., Damby, D., Tomašek, I., Horwell, C., Plumlee, G., Armienta, M., …Morman, S. (2020). Assessment of leachable elements in volcanic ashfall: A review and evaluation of a standardized protocol for ash hazard characterization. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 392, Article 106756. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2019.106756

Volcanic ash presents a widespread and common hazard during and after eruptions. Complex interactions between solid ash surfaces and volcanic gases lead to the formation of soluble salts that may be mobilized in aqueous environments. A variety of sta...

Objectives. A multi-isotope study was conducted on individuals buried at Skriðuklaustur monastery (AD 1493–1554) to investigate their geographic origins and dietary composition. Comparative material from individuals excavated from Skeljastaðir, an in...

Subduction initiation and back-arc opening north of Neo-Tethys: Evidence from the Late Cretaceous Torbat-e-Heydarieh ophiolite of NE Iran. GSA Bulletin, 132(5-6), 1083-1105. https://doi.org/10.1130/b35065.1

How new subduction zones form is an ongoing scientific question with key implications for our understanding of how this process influences the behavior of the overriding plate. Here we focus on the effects of a Late Cretaceous subduction-initiation (...

Contrasting TiO2 compositions in early cenozoic mafic sills of the Faroe Islands : an example of basalt formation from distinct melting regimes. Earth sciences (New York, N.Y. Print), 8(5), 235-267. https://doi.org/10.11648/j.earth.20190805.11

The Paleocene lava succession of the Faroe Islands Basalt Group (FIBG), which is a part of the North Atlantic Igneous Province (NAIP), is intruded by numerous basaltic sills. These can be grouped into three main categories according to their geochemi...

Environmental Research, 179(Part A), Article 108798. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envres.2019.108798

Background: Volcanic plumes are complex environments composed of gases and ash particles, where chemical and physical processes occur at different temperature and compositional regimes. Commonly, soluble sulphate- and chloride-bearing salts are forme...

We present new geochronological and geochemical data for Neogene magmatism from West Sarawak. Zircon U-Pb geochronology divides Neogene magmatic rocks of West Sarawak into a Lower Miocene West Sarawak Sintang Suite with ages of c. 19 to 21 Ma, and a...

Macroalgae (seaweed) has been shown to be an effective environmental indicator. We investigate the trace element chemistry of macroalgae samples from locations along the Firth of Forth and Forth Estuary in Scotland. The overall trend in elemental abu...
