Global demand for minerals and metals is increasing. It has been established that the impact of mining and mineral processing operations must be reduced to sustainably meet the demands of a low grade future. Successful incorporation of ore sorting in... Read More about Understanding microwave induced sorting of porphyry copper ores.

The priming potential of environmentally weathered pyrogenic carbon during land-use transition to biomass crop production (2015)
Journal Article
McClean, G. J., Meredith, W., Cross, A., Heal, K. V., Bending, G. D., & Sohi, S. P. (2016). The priming potential of environmentally weathered pyrogenic carbon during land-use transition to biomass crop production. GCB Bioenergy, 8(4), https://doi.org/10.1111/gcbb.12293

Since land-use change (LUC) to lignocellulosic biomass crops often causes a loss of soil organic carbon (SOC), at least in the short term, this study investigated the potential for pyrogenic carbon (PyC) to ameliorate this effect. Although negative p... Read More about The priming potential of environmentally weathered pyrogenic carbon during land-use transition to biomass crop production.

Coal-derived rates of atmospheric dust deposition during the Permian (2015)
Journal Article
Marshall, C., Large, D. J., & Heavens, N. G. (2016). Coal-derived rates of atmospheric dust deposition during the Permian. Gondwana Research, 31, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gr.2015.10.002

Despite widespread evidence for atmospheric dust deposition prior to the Quaternary, quantitative rate data remains sparse. As dust influences both climate and biological productivity, the absence of quantitative dust data limits the comprehensivenes...
