Enhanced volcanic activity and long-term warmth in the middle Eocene revealed by mercury and osmium isotopes from IODP Expedition 369 Site U1514 (2024)
Journal Article
Lim, D., Xu, Z., Kim, J., Wang, W., Ownsworth, E., Selby, D., …Chang, T. (2024). Enhanced volcanic activity and long-term warmth in the middle Eocene revealed by mercury and osmium isotopes from IODP Expedition 369 Site U1514. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 627, Article 118565. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2023.118565

Rapid plate reorganization may have influenced global climate during the Eocene; however, its linkage remains poorly constrained, particularly during the middle Eocene. To elucidate this tectonic–climatic relationship, here, we conducted a comprehens...

Valanginian climate cooling and environmental change driven by Paraná-Etendeka basalt erosion (2023)
Journal Article
Percival, L., Ownsworth, E., Robinson, S., Selby, D., Goderis, S., & Claeys, P. (2023). Valanginian climate cooling and environmental change driven by Paraná-Etendeka basalt erosion. Geology, 51(8), 753-757. https://doi.org/10.1130/g51202.1

The Valanginian Weissert Event (ca. 134 Ma) has long been linked to emplacement of the Paraná-Etendeka large igneous province (LIP). Although several Mesozoic crises were triggered by volcanic CO2 emissions and global warming, causing oceanic oxygen...

Tracking sediment delivery to central Baffin Bay during the past 40 kyrs: Insights from a multiproxy approach and new age model (2023)
Journal Article
Ownsworth, E., Selby, D., Lloyd, J., Knutz, P., Szidat, S., Andrews, J., & Ó Cofaigh, C. (2023). Tracking sediment delivery to central Baffin Bay during the past 40 kyrs: Insights from a multiproxy approach and new age model. Quaternary Science Reviews, 308, Article 108082. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2023.108082

Reconstructing former ice sheet history and glaciogenic sediment fluxes surrounding Baffin Bay during and since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) is a major scientific challenge. Here, a new multi-proxy analysis of sediments from a central Baffin Bay (B...

Tracing the natural and anthropogenic influence on the trace elemental chemistry of estuarine macroalgae and the implications for human consumption (2019)
Journal Article
Ownsworth, E., Selby, D., Ottley, C. J., Unsworth, E., Raab, A., Feldmann, J., …Bücker, P. (2019). Tracing the natural and anthropogenic influence on the trace elemental chemistry of estuarine macroalgae and the implications for human consumption. Science of the Total Environment, 685, 259-272. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.05.263

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...
