Populated coastal areas worldwide have a legacy of numerous solid waste disposal sites. At the same time, mean sea level is rising and likely to accelerate, increasing flooding and/or erosion. There is therefore concern that landfill sites located at

Funder: Queen Mary; Id: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100009148
The vulnerability of saltmarshes to lateral erosion at their margin depends on the local biogeomorphological properties of the substrate. In particular, the 3D architecture of pore and

Despite growing interest in the environmental impact of microplastics, a standardized characterization method is not available. We carried out a systematic analysis of reliable global data detailing the relative abundance of polymers in freshwaters a

Development of novel 2D and 3D correlative microscopy to characterise the composition and multiscale structure of suspended sediment aggregates

Autor: Andrew J. Bushby, Ian G. Droppo, Simon J. Carr, Kate L. Spencer, J. Wheatland

Suspended cohesive sediments form aggregates or 'flocs' and are often closely associated with carbo, nutrients, pathogens and pollutants, which makes understanding their composition, transport and fate highly desirable. Accurate prediction of floc be

There's no such thing as 'undisturbed' soil and sediment sampling: sampler-induced deformation of salt-marsh sediments revealed by 3D x-ray computed tomography

Autor: Kate L. Spencer, Simon J. Carr, Lucy M. Diggens

Within most environmental contexts, the collection of ‘undisturbed’ samples is widely relied upon in studies of soil and sediments. However, the impact of sampler-induced disturbance is rarely acknowledged, despite the potential significance of m
