Tuffisite veins are particle-filled hydraulic fractures formed around and within volcanic conduits, which are opened by and provide transient pathways for flow of pressurised magmatic fluids. Tuffisites… Read More »Fracking magma: field and experimental investigation of hydrofracture in volcanic systems
The project: Changes in the availability of nitrogen and carbon within rivers, for example associated with anthropogenic inputs from sources such as fertilisers or wastewater, have profound… Read More »What lies beneath: biofilm fingerprints for nutrient inputs to rivers
The project: Phosphorus is central to globally-significant challenges, including the need for sustainable approaches to reduce nutrient enrichment within aquatic ecosystems. This project will develop new technologies… Read More »Taking the P in the future: new technologies for phosphorus capture from wastewater
