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.

Determining the lower limit of Liangzhu culture based on black carbon purification with hydropyrolysis technique (2015)
Journal Article
Zhang, X., Huang, D., Han Deng, H., Snape, C., Meredith, W., Zhao, Y., …Sun, Y. (2015). Determining the lower limit of Liangzhu culture based on black carbon purification with hydropyrolysis technique. Quaternary Geochronology, 30(A), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quageo.2015.07.001

Located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Liangzhu Culture was one of the most important Neolithic cultures at the dawn of Chinese civilization. However, uncertainty over the lower age limit ending the Liangzhu Culture has res...

Multiple Cosmic Sources for Meteorite Macromolecules? (2015)
Journal Article
Sephton, M. A., Watson, J. S., Meredith, W., Love, G. D., Gilmour, I., & Snape, C. E. (2015). Multiple Cosmic Sources for Meteorite Macromolecules?. Astrobiology, 15(10), 779-786. https://doi.org/10.1089/ast.2015.1331

The major organic component in carbonaceous meteorites is an organic macromolecular material. The Murchison macromolecular material comprises aromatic units connected by aliphatic and heteroatom-containing linkages or occluded within the wider struct...

Fate of soil organic carbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a vineyard soil treated with biochar (2015)
Journal Article
Rombolà, A. G., Meredith, W., Baronti, S., Snape, C. E., Genesio, L., Vaccari, F. P., …Fabbri, D. (2015). Fate of soil organic carbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a vineyard soil treated with biochar. Environmental Science and Technology, 49(18), https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.est.5b02562

The effect of biochar addition on the levels of black carbon (BC) and polcyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in a vineyard soil in central Italy was investigated within a two year period. Hydropyrolysis (HyPy) was used to determine the contents of BC... Read More about Fate of soil organic carbon and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in a vineyard soil treated with biochar.

Geochemistry and petrology of palaeocene coals from Spitzbergen — Part 2: Maturity variations and implications for local and regional burial models (2015)
Journal Article
Marshall, C., Uguna, J., Large, D. J., Meredith, W., Jochmann, M., Friis, B., …Orheim, A. (2015). Geochemistry and petrology of palaeocene coals from Spitzbergen — Part 2: Maturity variations and implications for local and regional burial models. International Journal of Coal Geology, 143, 1-10. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coal.2015.03.013

The Central Tertiary Basin is an uplifted part of the North Barents Shelf and should be an ideal location to understand the thermal history, maximum burial depth and overburden thickness in this petroleum-rich area. Efforts to quantify the thermal hi...
