Cultural traditions across a migratory network shape the genetic structure of southern right whales around Australia and New Zealand (2015)
Journal Article

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

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.

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...
