Sediment accumulation rates and carbon burial in West Antarctic Peninsula fjords
(University of Exeter Department of Earth and Environmental Science, 31 July 2023)Fjords act as palaeoenvironmental archives, recording past glacial histories in remarkably thick sediment accumulations. Furthermore, high primary productivity combined with rapid burial make fjords important organic ... -
Investigations of associations between catchment-scale processes and the abundance of Escherichia coli in bathing waters that are phenotypically resistant to clinically important antibiotics.
(University of Exeter Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, 17 July 2023)The environment is important in terms of antimicrobial resistance emergence and spread. This study is the first to look at how antimicrobial resistance could be monitored at bathing water sites, develop models for different ... -
Remediation of Soils Contaminated with Mercury During Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Operations in Colombia Using Silver-Coated Plates
(University of Exeter Camborne School of Mines - Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences - Faculty of Environment, Science and Economy, 3 July 2023)As early as the 1500s, the practice of mercury amalgamation was applied in America for gold mining. Its steady and widespread use lead to detrimental implications for the environment and public health. The most vulnerable ... -
The acute effect of heading on neurovascular coupling, optic nerve sheath diameter and memory recall in women footballers
(University of Exeter Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, 19 June 2023)Purpose: Retired male footballers are at 3.5 times greater risk of neurodegenerative disease, with repeated heading suggested to contribute to the increased risk. Currently, no such cohort data exist in women players. ... -
Development of a standard methodology for cryogenic fixation, DNA-PAINT super-resolution microscopy, and Bayesian analysis of the internal structures of healthy and infected plant cells
(University of Exeter Biological Sciences, 12 June 2023)Microtubules contribute to plant cellular defence against pathogens. Identifying their location and structure within the cell is impacted by the diffraction limit of light imposed upon confocal microscopy. This places an ...
