Reaction Pathways toward the Formation of Bastnäsite: Replacement of Calcite by Rare Earth Carbonates
(2021)The interaction of rare earth bearing (La, Nd, Dy) aqueous solutions with calcite crystals at ambient and hydrothermal conditions (25–220 °C) results in the solvent-mediated surface precipitation and subsequent pseudomorphic ... -
Study of Natural Radioactivity Levels and Radon/Thoron Release Potential of Bedrock and Soil in Southeastern Ireland
(2021)Radon (222Rn) and thoron (220Rn) account for almost two-thirds of the annual average radiation dose received by the Irish population. A detailed study of natural radioactivity levels and radon and thoron exhalation rates ... -
An analysis of the spatio-temporal occurrence of anthelmintic veterinary drug residues in groundwater
(2021)Anthelmintics are antiparasitic drugs used to control helminthic parasites such as nematodes and trematodes in animals, particularly those exposed through pasture-based production systems. Even though anthelmintics have ... -
Tracking halogen recycling and volatile loss in kimberlite magmatism from Greenland: Evidence from combined F-Cl-Br and δ37Cl systematics
(2021)Kimberlite magmatism occurs as a result of volatile fluxed melting of the convecting upper mantle underlying cratonic lithospheric mantle regions. During passage to the Earth's surface, proto-kimberlite magma can interact ... -
Application of airborne radiometric surveys for large-scale geogenic radon potential classification
(2020)Background: Indoor radon represents an important health issue to the general population. Therefore, accurate radon risk maps help public authorities to prioritise areas where mitigation actions should be implemented. As ... -
Geochemical characterisation of the Late Quaternary widespread Japanese tephrostratigraphic markers and correlations to the Lake Suigetsu sedimentary archive (SG06 core)
(2019)Large Magnitude (6–8) Late Quaternary Japanese volcanic eruptions are responsible for widespread ash (tephra) dispersals providing key isochrons suitable for the synchronisation and dating of palaeoclimate archives across ... -
Microanalysis of Cl, Br and I in apatite, scapolite and silicate glass by LA-ICP-MS
(2020)Constraining the abundance and distribution of halogens in geological materials has the potential to provide novel insights into a broad range of earth system processes (e.g. metasomatism, melting, volatile cycling and ore ... -
A new sensitive method for the simultaneous chromatographic separation and tandem mass spectrometry detection of anticoccidials, including highly polar compounds, in environmental waters
(Elsevier, 2020)A sensitive and selective method was developed and validated for the determination of 26 anticoccidial compounds (six ionophores and twenty chemical coccidiostats) in surface and groundwater samples at parts-per-quadrillion ... -
An investigation of anticoccidial veterinary drugs as emerging organic contaminants in groundwater
(Elsevier, 2020)Intensification of the food production system to meet increased global demand for food has led to veterinary pharmaceuticals becoming a critical component in animal husbandry. Anticoccidials are a group of veterinary ... -
Cryptic evolved melts beneath monotonous basaltic shield volcanoes in the Galápagos Archipelago
(2020)Many volcanoes erupt compositionally homogeneous magmas over timescales ranging from decades to millennia. This monotonous activity is thought to reflect a high degree of chemical homogeneity in their magmatic systems, ... -
Development of a Geogenic Radon Hazard Index–Concept, History, Experiences
(2020)Exposure to indoor radon at home and in workplaces constitutes a serious public health risk and is the second most prevalent cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking. Indoor radon concentration is to a large extent ... -
Chemical zoning and open system processes in the Laacher See magmatic system
(2020)Unravelling the generation of compositionally and thermally zoned magma reservoirs is important to our understanding of the dynamic processes operating in magmatic systems. Here, we present new major and trace element data ... -
Petrological, mineralogical and geochemical peculiarities of Archaean cratons
(2019)The most outstanding features of Archaean cratons are their extraordinary thickness and enduring longevity. Seismically, Archaean cratonic fragments are sharply-bounded deep roots of mechanically strong, cold lithospheric ... -
Shallow sampling by multi-shot laser ablation and its application within U-Pb zircon geochronology
(2020)The interaction of incident laser radiation and sample substrate is complex and difficult to predict. Natural zircons are often both structurally and chemically heterogeneous in 3-dimensional space. Encountering growth-related, ... -
Groundwater nitrate reduction versus dissolved gas production: A tale of two catchments
(2017)At the catchment scale, a complex mosaic of environmental, hydrogeological and physicochemical characteristics combine to regulate the distribution of groundwater and stream nitrate (NO3−). The efficiency of NO3− removal ... -
Multi-scale crystallographic ordering in the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa
(2017)Lophelia pertusa is a widespread colonial cold-water coral which can form large three-dimensional habitats for benthic communities. Although it is known to construct an aragonite skeleton with optically opaque and translucent ... -
Volcanic crystals as time capsules of eruption history
(2018)Crystals formed prior to a volcanic event can provide evidence of processes leading to and timing of eruptions. Clinopyroxene is common in basaltic to intermediate volcanoes, however, its ability as a recorder of pre-eruptive ... -
The effect of cooling rate on immiscible silicate liquid microstructure: An example from the Palaeogene dykes of Northeast England
(2019)The migration and accumulation of immiscible silicate liquids may play a significant role in the differentiation of crustal magma bodies and the formation of some economic mineral deposits. However, our understanding of ... -
Neoproterozoic crystalline exotic clasts in the Polish Outer Carpathian flysch: remnants of the Proto-Carpathian continent?
(2019)Crystalline exotic boulders within the sedimentary sequences of the Outer Carpathians likely represent Proto-Carpathian basement, which was exposed and eroded during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic evolution of the Western ...
