Environmental significance of kaolinite variability over the last centuries in crater lake sediments from Central Mexico (2023)
Journal Article
Fagel, N., Israde-Alcántara, I., Safaierad, R., Rantala, M., Schmidt, S., Lepoint, G., …Metcalfe, S. (2024). Environmental significance of kaolinite variability over the last centuries in crater lake sediments from Central Mexico. Applied Clay Science, 247, Article 107211. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clay.2023.107211

Environmental conditions have a notable impact on clay minerals, primarily because of the chemical reactions they undergo with their immediate environment. These reactions are more pronounced in hot and humid tropical regions, and therefore, the stud...

Estimating background concentrations of PM2.5 for urban air quality modelling in a data poor environment (2023)
Journal Article
Draper, E. L., Whyatt, J. D., Taylor, R. S., & Metcalfe, S. E. (2023). Estimating background concentrations of PM2.5 for urban air quality modelling in a data poor environment. Atmospheric Environment, 314, Article 120107. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2023.120107

Atmospheric dispersion models are widely applied to simulate pollutant concentrations such as PM2.5 for use in long- and short-term health studies. A significant proportion of PM2.5 originates outside urban areas in which many people live. It is impo...

Spectral Characteristics of Beached Sargassum in Response to Drying and Decay over Time (2023)
Journal Article
Chandler, C. J., Ávila-Mosqueda, S. V., Salas-Acosta, E. R., Magaña-Gallegos, E., Escalante Mancera, E., Gómez Reali, M. A., …Foody, G. M. (2023). Spectral Characteristics of Beached Sargassum in Response to Drying and Decay over Time. Remote Sensing, 15(17), Article 4336. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs15174336

The bloom of pelagic Sargassum in the Atlantic Ocean has become increasingly problematic, especially when the algae have beached. A build-up of decaying beached material has damaging effects on coastal ecosystems and tourism industries. While remote...

Monitoring holopelagic Sargassum spp. along the Mexican Caribbean coast: understanding and addressing user requirements for satellite remote sensing (2023)
Journal Article
de la Barreda-Bautista, B., Metcalfe, S. E., Smith, G., Sjögersten, S., Boyd, D. S., Cerdeira-Estrada, S., …Foody, G. (2023). Monitoring holopelagic Sargassum spp. along the Mexican Caribbean coast: understanding and addressing user requirements for satellite remote sensing. Frontiers in Marine Science, 10, Article 1166000. https://doi.org/10.3389/fmars.2023.1166000

Massive influxes of holopelagic Sargassum spp. (Sargassum natans and S. fluitans) have been causing major economic, environmental and ecological problems along the Caribbean coast of Mexico. Predicting the arrival of the sargassum as an aid to addres...

An 1800-year oxygen-isotope record of short- and long-term hydroclimate variability in the northern neotropics from a Jamaican marl lake (2023)
Journal Article
Holmes, J., Burn, M., Cisneros-Dozal, L. M., Jones, M., & Metcalfe, S. (2023). An 1800-year oxygen-isotope record of short- and long-term hydroclimate variability in the northern neotropics from a Jamaican marl lake. Quaternary Science Reviews, 301, Article 107930. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2022.107930

Hydroclimate variability on multi-decadal timescales has been a prominent feature of the circum-Caribbean region over the common era, with marked dry intervals noted in particular for the period 800–950 CE coinciding with the Terminal Classic Period...
