Isotopic tracing of the impact of mobility on infectious disease: The origin of people with treponematosis buried in hull, England, in the late medieval period. (2012)
Journal Article
Roberts, C., Millard, A., Nowell, G., Gröcke, D., Macpherson, C., Pearson, G., & Evans, D. (2013). Isotopic tracing of the impact of mobility on infectious disease: The origin of people with treponematosis buried in hull, England, in the late medieval period. American journal of physical anthropology, 150(2), 273-285. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.22203

Treponematosis has been one of the most studied and debated infectious diseases in paleopathology, particularly from the standpoint of its origin, evolution, and transmission. This study links evidence for treponematosis in skeletons from the 14th–16...

Polybaric melting of a single mantle source during the Neogene Siverek phase of the Karacadağ Volcanic Complex, SE Turkey (2012)
Journal Article
Ekici, T., Macpherson, C., & Otlu, N. (2012). Polybaric melting of a single mantle source during the Neogene Siverek phase of the Karacadağ Volcanic Complex, SE Turkey. Lithos, 146-147, 152-163. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.lithos.2012.05.004

Siverek plateau basalts represent the Neogene activity of the Karacadağ Volcanic Complex in southeast Turkey and can be divided into two groups based on incompatible element concentrations. Group 1 is largely basaltic, containing some alkali basalts,...

Long-term preservation of slab signatures in the mantle inferred from hydrogen isotopes (2012)
Journal Article
Shaw, A., Hauri, E., Behn, M., Hilton, D., Macpherson, C., & Sinton, J. (2012). Long-term preservation of slab signatures in the mantle inferred from hydrogen isotopes. Nature Geoscience, 5(3), 224-228. https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo1406

Seismic tomographic images indicate that subducted lithosphere is transported into the deep mantle. Petrologic modelling shows that water contained in subducted slabs can be carried to depths of at least 200 km (ref. 2); however, whether the hydrated...
