Assessing the fugitive emission of CH4 via migration along fault zones – Comparing potential shale gas basins to non-shale basins in the UK (2016)
Journal Article

This study considered whether faults bounding hydrocarbon-bearing basins could be conduits for methane release to the atmosphere. Five basin bounding faults in the UK were considered: two which bounded potential shale gas basins; two faults that boun...

The role of water treatment abstraction in the flux and greenhouse gas emissions from organic carbon and nitrogen within UK rivers (2016)
Journal Article

The fate of organic matter through watersheds has been shown to be an important component of the global carbon cycle and processes in rivers can rapidly transfer carbon from the terrestrial biosphere to the atmosphere. However, the role of water abst... Read More about The role of water treatment abstraction in the flux and greenhouse gas emissions from organic carbon and nitrogen within UK rivers.

The fluvial flux of total reactive and total phosphorus from the UK in the context of a national phosphorus budget: comparing UK river fluxes with phosphorus trade imports and exports (2016)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., Jarvie, H., Howden, N., & Burt, T. (2016). The fluvial flux of total reactive and total phosphorus from the UK in the context of a national phosphorus budget: comparing UK river fluxes with phosphorus trade imports and exports. Biogeochemistry, 130(1-2), 31-51. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10533-016-0238-0

A national river water quality database of total reactive phosphorus (TRP) and total phosphorus (TP) and flow was used, together with catchment characteristic datasets (soils, land use and hydroclimatic properties), to derive national fluvial phospho...

The UK’s total nitrogen budget from 1990 to 2020: a transition from source to sink? (2016)
Journal Article

This study estimates the annual total nitrogen balance of the UK from 1990 to 2020. The following inputs of nitrogen are considered: inorganic fertilizer, atmospheric deposition; food and feed imports; and biological nitrogen fixation. The outputs co...

The total phosphorus budget of a peat-covered catchment (2016)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., Moody, C., Clay, G., Burt, T., & Rose, R. (2016). The total phosphorus budget of a peat-covered catchment. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 121(7), 1814-1828. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016jg003375

Although many studies have considered the carbon or greenhouse gas budgets of peat ecosystems, only a few have considered the nutrient budget of peat soils, and this, in turn, has limited the ability of studies to consider the impact of changes in cl...

The changing water cycle: hydroclimatic extremes in the British Isles (2016)
Journal Article

This focus article is concerned with long-term changes in hydroclimatic extremes across the British Isles. The combination of short records, poor data quality, nonstationarity, and other methodological constraints is a major obstacle to the attributi...

Long-term accumulation and transport of anthropogenic phosphorus in three river basins (2016)
Journal Article
Powers, S., Bruulsema, T., Burt, T., Chan, N., Elser, J., Haygarth, P., …Zhang, F. (2016). Long-term accumulation and transport of anthropogenic phosphorus in three river basins. Nature Geoscience, 9(5), 353-356. https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo2693

Global food production depends on phosphorus. Phosphorus is broadly applied as fertilizer, but excess phosphorus contributes to eutrophication of surface water bodies and coastal ecosystems1. Here we present an analysis of phosphorus fluxes in three... Read More about Long-term accumulation and transport of anthropogenic phosphorus in three river basins.

This study considered the fugitive emissions of methane (CH4) from former oil and gas exploration and production wells drilled to exploit conventional hydrocarbon reservoirs onshore in the UK. This study selected from the 66% of all onshore wells in... Read More about Fugitive emissions of methane from abandoned, decommissioned oil and gas wells.

The oxidative ratio (OR) of the organic matter of the terrestrial biosphere is a key parameter in the understanding of the magnitude of the carbon sink represented both by the terrestrial biosphere and by the global oceans. However, no study has cons... Read More about The effective oxidation state of a peatland.
