W., Björck, S., Blyakharchuk, T., Bochicchio, C., Booth, R. K., Bunbury, J., Camill, P., Carless, D., Chimner, R. A., Clifford, M., Cressey, E., Courtney-Mustaphi, C., …Zhao, Y. (2018). Latitudinal limits to the predicted increase of the peatland carbon sink with warming. Nature Climate Change, 8(10), 907-913. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41558-018-0271-1

The carbon sink potential of peatlands depends on the balance of carbon uptake by plants and microbial decomposition. The rates of both these processes will increase with warming but it remains unclear which will dominate the global peatland response...

Monitoring tropical peat related settlement using ISBAS InSAR, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) (2018)
Journal Article
Marshall, C., Large, D. J., Athab, A., Evers, S. L., Sowter, A., Marsh, S., & Sjögersten, S. (2018). Monitoring tropical peat related settlement using ISBAS InSAR, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Engineering Geology, 244, 57-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enggeo.2018.07.015

Rapid population growth in South-East Asia has placed immense pressure upon lowland regions both to supply food and employment and space for residential, commercial and infrastructure development. This pressure has led to sites on tropical peatland p... Read More about Monitoring tropical peat related settlement using ISBAS InSAR, Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).

Exploring drivers of litter decomposition in a greening Arctic: results from a transplant experiment across a tree-line (2018)
Journal Article
Parker, T. C., Sanderman, J., Holden, R. D., Blume-Werry, G., Sjögersten, S., Large, D., Castro-Díaz, M., Street, L. E., Subke, J.-A., & Wookey, P. A. (2018). Exploring drivers of litter decomposition in a greening Arctic: results from a transplant experiment across a tree-line. Ecology, 99(10), 2284-2294. https://doi.org/10.1002/ecy.2442

Decomposition of plant litter is a key control over carbon (C) storage in the soil. The biochemistry of the litter being produced, the environment in which the decomposition is taking place, and the community composition and metabolism of the decompo...

Dynamics of charcoal alteration in a tropical biome: a biochar-based study (2018)
Journal Article
Ascough, P., Bird, M., Meredith, W., Snape, C. E., Large, D., Tilston, E., Apperley, D., Bernabé, A., & Shen, L. (2018). Dynamics of charcoal alteration in a tropical biome: a biochar-based study. Frontiers in Earth Science, 6, Article 61. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2018.00061

Pyrogenic carbon (PyC) is a polyaromatic residue of the incomplete combustion of biomass or fossil fuels. There is a growing recognition that PyC forms an important part of carbon budgets, due to production rates of 116–385 Tg C yr, and the size and...

Understanding the effects of peripheral vision and muscle memory on in-vehicle touchscreen interactions (2018)
Journal Article
Eren, A. L., Burnett, G., Large, D. R., & Harvey, C. (in press). Understanding the effects of peripheral vision and muscle memory on in-vehicle touchscreen interactions. IET Intelligent Transport Systems, https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-its.2017.0229

It is important to gain a better understanding of how drivers interact with in-vehicle touchscreens to help design interfaces to minimise “eyes off road” time. The study aimed to investigate the relative effects of two interaction mechanisms (periphe...

The first SHRIMP zircon U–Pb ages from coal beds close to the end-Permian mass extinction are reported from the C1 coal seam in the Yantang Mine in Laibin Town, Xuanwei County, eastern Yunnan Province. Zircons were extracted from kaolinite claystone... Read More about SHRIMP zircon U–Pb ages from coal beds across the Permian–Triassic boundary, eastern Yunnan, southwestern China.

Quality not quantity: organic matter composition controls of CO₂and CH₄fluxes in neotropical peat profiles (2016)
Journal Article
Hoyos-Santillan, J., Lomax, B. H., Large, D., Turner, B. L., Boom, A., Lopez, O. R., & Sjögersten, S. (2016). Quality not quantity: organic matter composition controls of CO₂and CH₄fluxes in neotropical peat profiles. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 103, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2016.08.017

Tropical peatlands represent an important source of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) to the atmosphere. However, we do not know where in the peat profile these gases are produced and how controlling factors, such as substrate quality, which can...
