A novel apparatus for the simulation of eruptive gas-rock interactions (2015)
Journal Article

The chemical interactions between hot volcanic gases and co-erupted magmatic and lithic particles within eruption plumes and pyroclastic flows are increasingly investigated for their relevance to the impacts of ash emission on natural and human envir...

Journal Article

Field evidence from a basaltic-andesite dyke preserved in the eroded wall of a scoria cone at Red Crater, Tongariro volcano, New Zealand, records a history of up-conduit magma flow during a Strombolian eruption, subsequent drain-back and final cessat...

Permeability of compacting porous lavas (2015)
Journal Article

The highly transient nature of outgassing commonly observed at volcanoes is in part controlled by the permeability of lava domes and shallow conduits. Lava domes generally consist of a porous outer carapace surrounding a denser lava core with interna... Read More about Permeability of compacting porous lavas.

The thermal stability of Eyjafjallajökull ash versus turbine ingestion test sands (2014)
Journal Article

The 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull (Iceland) and the 2011 eruptions of Grimsvötn (Iceland), Cordon Caulle (Chile) and Nabro (Ethiopia) have drastically heightened the level of awareness in the general population of how volcanic activity can affect...

New Blatter-type radicals from a bench-stable carbene (2017)
Journal Article

Stable benzotriazinyl radicals (Blatter’s radicals) recently attracted considerable interest as building blocks for functional materials. The existing strategies to derivatize Blatter’s radicals are limited, however, and synthetic routes are complex.... Read More about New Blatter-type radicals from a bench-stable carbene.

Pressure and shear rate dependence of the viscosity and stress relaxation of polymer melts (2018)
Journal Article

The pressure dependencies of polymer viscosity and stress relaxation are an important but often overlooked aspect of the material processing and postprocessing properties. We show how these dependencies can be isolated in a single measurement and can... Read More about Pressure and shear rate dependence of the viscosity and stress relaxation of polymer melts.

Metal ‘turn-off’, anion ‘turn-on’ gelation cascade in pyridinylmethyl ureas (2017)
Journal Article

Pyridinylmethyl ureas form strong gels in aromatic solvents. The gels are weakened or destroyed by addition of transition metal ions but gelation is recovered by adding bromide anions giving rise to a gel–sol–gel chemically triggered cascade.

Experimental sintering of ash at conduit conditions and implications for the longevity of tuffisites (2018)
Journal Article

Escape of gas from magma in the conduit plays a crucial role in mitigating explosivity. Tuffisite veins—ash-filled cracks that form in and around volcanic conduits—represent important gas escape pathways. Sintering of the ash infill decreases its por...

Simulating charge transport in organic semiconductors and devices: a review (2016)
Journal Article

Charge transport simulation can be a valuable tool to better understand, optimise and design organic transistors (OTFTs), photovoltaics (OPVs), and light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). This review presents an overview of common charge transport and device... Read More about Simulating charge transport in organic semiconductors and devices: a review.
