Organic material from the Noordhoek area on the western margin of the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, was obtained from a ~ 50 m-long drill-core dominated by fluvio-lacustrine siliciclastic sediments. The aim of this study is to constrain fluctuations... Read More about Miocene climate and vegetation changes in the Cape Peninsula, South Africa: evidence from biogeochemistry and palynology.

Geochemical and lithological controls on a potential shale reservoir: Carboniferous Holywell Shale, Wales (2015)

Journal Article
Rocha, C., Veiga-Pires, C., Scholten, J., Knoeller, K., Gröcke, D., Carvalho, L., …Wilson, J. (2015). Assessing land-ocean connectivity via Submarine Groundwater Discharge (SGD) in the Ria Formosa Lagoon (Portugal): combining radon measurements and stable isotope hydrology.

Cultural traditions across a migratory network shape the genetic structure of southern right whales around Australia and New Zealand (2015)
Journal Article
Carroll, E., Baker, C., Watson, M., Alderman, R., Bannister, J., Gaggiotti, O., …Harcourt, R. (2015). Cultural traditions across a migratory network shape the genetic structure of southern right whales around Australia and New Zealand. Scientific Reports, 5, https://doi.org/10.1038/srep16182

Fidelity to migratory destinations is an important driver of connectivity in marine and avian species. Here we assess the role of maternally directed learning of migratory habitats, or migratory culture, on the population structure of the endangered...

Erosion of organic carbon in the Arctic as a geological carbon dioxide sink (2015)
Journal Article
Hilton, R., Galy, V., Gaillardet, J., Dellinger, M., Bryant, C., O’Regan, M., …Calmels, D. (2015). Erosion of organic carbon in the Arctic as a geological carbon dioxide sink. Nature, 524(7563), 84-87. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature14653

Soils of the northern high latitudes store carbon over millennial timescales (thousands of years) and contain approximately double the carbon stock of the atmosphere1, 2, 3. Warming and associated permafrost thaw can expose soil organic carbon and re... Read More about Erosion of organic carbon in the Arctic as a geological carbon dioxide sink.

This paper examines the impact of animal manure on δ15N and δ13C values in a legume, Celtic Black broad bean (Vicia faba). In a field experiment, V. faba was cultivated in plots treated with farmyard manure and pure sheep manure. The results indicate...

The effect of interbedding on shale reservoir properties (2015)
Journal Article

North Sea oil is overwhelmingly generated in shales of the Upper Jurassic – basal Cretaceous Kimmeridge Clay Formation. Once generated, the oil is expelled and ultimately migrates to accumulate in sandstone or carbonate reservoirs. The source rock sh...
