Use of Surface Motion Characteristics Determined by InSAR to Assess Peatland Condition (2019)
Journal Article
Alshammari, L., Boyd, D. S., Sowter, A., Marshall, C., Andersen, R., Gilbert, P., Marsh, S., & Large, D. J. (2020). Use of Surface Motion Characteristics Determined by InSAR to Assess Peatland Condition. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 125(1), Article e2018JG004953. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JG004953

Peatland surface motion is a key property of peatland that relates to condition. However, field‐based techniques to measure surface motion are not cost‐effective over large areas and long time periods. An alternative method that can quantify peatland...

Marine derived 87Sr/86Sr in coal, a new key to geochronology and palaeoenvironment: Elucidation of the India-Eurasia and China-Indochina collisions in Yunnan, China (2019)
Journal Article
Spiro, B. F., Liu, J., Dai, S., Zeng, R., Large, D., & French, D. (2019). Marine derived 87Sr/86Sr in coal, a new key to geochronology and palaeoenvironment: Elucidation of the India-Eurasia and China-Indochina collisions in Yunnan, China. International Journal of Coal Geology, 215, Article 103304. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coal.2019.103304

Coal has formed in terrestrial and coastal-marine environments from sub-polar to equatorial regions since the Devonian. It contains detailed long-term records of contemporaneous environment, climate, and subsequent modifications. However, in general,...

Pore structural evolution of shale following thermochemical treatment (2019)
Journal Article
Rigby, S. P., Jahan, H., Stevens, L., Uguna, C., Snape, C., Macnaughton, B., Large, D. J., & Fletcher, R. S. (2020). Pore structural evolution of shale following thermochemical treatment. Marine and Petroleum Geology, 112, Article 104058. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2019.104058

Shales experience heat treatment concurrent with the presence of water or steam during reservoir engineering interventions, such as high pressure water fracking and in-situ combustion of hydrocarbons. This work utilises a novel technique, which is a... Read More about Pore structural evolution of shale following thermochemical treatment.

Evaluation of vegetation communities, water table, and peat composition as drivers of greenhouse gas emissions in lowland tropical peatlands (2019)
Journal Article
Hoyos-Santillan, J., Lomax, B. H., Large, D., Turner, B. L., Lopez, O. R., Boom, A., Sepulveda-Jauregui, A., & Sjögersten, S. (2019). Evaluation of vegetation communities, water table, and peat composition as drivers of greenhouse gas emissions in lowland tropical peatlands. Science of the Total Environment, 688, 1193-1204. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.06.366

© 2019 Elsevier B.V. Tropical peatlands are globally important source of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, but data on carbon fluxes from these ecosystems is limited due to the logistical challenges of measuring gas fluxes in these ecosystems. Prop... Read More about Evaluation of vegetation communities, water table, and peat composition as drivers of greenhouse gas emissions in lowland tropical peatlands.
