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...

International Journal of Coal Geology, 143, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coal.2015.03.006

Abundant oil prone coal (Type III kerogen) deposits are preserved within the high latitude, middle Palaeocene, Todalen member of the Central Tertiary Basin, Spitsbergen Island, Norwegian Arctic. The coals (Svea, Longyear, Svarteper and Askeladden sea... Read More about Geochemistry and petrology of Palaeocene coals from Spitsbergen — Part 1: oil potential and depositional environment.

High pressure water pyrolysis of coal to evaluate the role of pressure on hydrocarbon generation and source rock maturation at high maturities under geological conditions (2014)
Journal Article
Uguna, C. N., Carr, A. D., Snape, C. E., & Meredith, W. (2015).

Journal Article
Barker, J., Reid, J., Snape, C., Scurr, D., & Meredith, W. (2014). Spectroscopic Studies of Internal Injector Deposits (IDID) Resulting from the Use of Non-Commercial Low Molecular Weight Polyisobutylenesuccinimide (PIBSI). SAE International Journal of Fuels and Lubricants, 7(3), 762-770. https://doi.org/10.4271/2014-01-2720

Copyright © 2014 SAE International. Since 2009, there has been a rise in deposits of various types found in diesel fuel injection systems. They have been identified in the filter, the injector tip and recently inside the injector. The latter internal...
