An evaluation of Mesozoic rift-related magmatism on the margins of the Labrador Sea: Implications for rifting and passive margin asymmetry (2016)
Journal Article
Peace, A., McCaffrey, K., Imber, J., Phethean, J., Nowell, G., Gerdes, K., & Dempsey, E. (2016). An evaluation of Mesozoic rift-related magmatism on the margins of the Labrador Sea: Implications for rifting and passive margin asymmetry. Geosphere, 12(6), 1701-1724. https://doi.org/10.1130/ges01341.1

The Labrador Sea is a small (∼900 km wide) ocean basin separating southwest Greenland from Labrador, Canada. It opened following a series of rifting events that began as early as the Late Triassic or Jurassic, culminating in a brief period of seafloo...

A Conversion-Period Cemetery at Woodlands, Adwick-le-Street, South Yorkshire* (2016)
Journal Article
McKinley, J. I., Dinwiddy, K., Millard, A., & Nowell, G. (2016). A Conversion-Period Cemetery at Woodlands, Adwick-le-Street, South Yorkshire*. Yorkshire Archaeological Journal, 88(1), 77-120. https://doi.org/10.1080/00844276.2016.1201975

Excavations by Archaeological Research and Consultancy University of Sheffield in 2007–8 revealed the remains of an Anglo-Saxon inhumation cemetery at North Ridge Community School, Woodlands, Doncaster. Forty graves were excavated, thirty-seven of wh... Read More about A Conversion-Period Cemetery at Woodlands, Adwick-le-Street, South Yorkshire*.

Source and pathway analysis of lead and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Lisbon urban soils (2016)
Journal Article
Marinho Reis, A. P., Shepherd, T., Nowell, G., Cachada, A., Duarte, A. C., Cave, M., …Batista, M. J. (2016). Source and pathway analysis of lead and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in Lisbon urban soils. Science of the Total Environment, 573, 324-336. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.08.119

One hundred soil samples were collected from urban spaces, in Lisbon, Portugal, in two surveys that were carried out in consecutive years, to assess the potential adverse human health effects following exposure to potentially toxic elements and organ...

Osmium isotope compositions of detrital Os-rich alloys from the Rhine River provide evidence for a global late Mesoproterozoic mantle depletion event (2016)
Journal Article
Dijkstra, A., Dale, C., Oberthür, T., Nowell, G., & Pearson, D. (2016). Osmium isotope compositions of detrital Os-rich alloys from the Rhine River provide evidence for a global late Mesoproterozoic mantle depletion event. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 452, 115-122. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2016.07.047

We report osmium isotopic compositions for 297 mantle-derived detrital Ru–Os–Ir alloy grains found in gold and platinum-group mineral bearing placers of the Rhine River. These alloys were likely formed as a result of high degree melting in the convec...

Titanium stable isotope investigation of magmatic processes on the Earth and Moon (2016)
Journal Article
Millet, M., Dauphas, N., Greberb, N., Burton, K., Dale, C., Debret, B., …Williams, H. (2016). Titanium stable isotope investigation of magmatic processes on the Earth and Moon. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 449, 197-205. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2016.05.039

We present titanium stable isotope measurements of terrestrial magmatic samples and lunar mare basalts with the aims of constraining the composition of the lunar and terrestrial mantles and evaluating the potential of Ti stable isotopes for understan...

Strontium isotope evidence of early Funnel Beaker Culture movement of cattle (2016)
Journal Article
Gron, K., Montgomery, J., Otto Nielsen, P., Nowell, G., Peterkin, J. L., Sørensen, L., & Rowley-Conwy, P. (2016). Strontium isotope evidence of early Funnel Beaker Culture movement of cattle. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 6, 248-251. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2016.02.015

The movement of livestock across and within landscapes is increasingly being recognized as common in northern European prehistoric contexts, and was performed for various purposes. However, almost nothing is known about the movement of livestock in t... Read More about Strontium isotope evidence of early Funnel Beaker Culture movement of cattle.
