New investigations of monsoon depressions using observational data, theory and numerical experiments
(2023-11-28) - ThesisMonsoon depressions (MDs) are synoptic-scale storms that exist embedded within the planetary-scale summer monsoon circulation. Their structure and propagation is distinct to other tropical and sub-tropical systems. The ... -
The nature of fluids associated with the subvolcanic alkaline magmas and their role in 'hi-tech' metal transport and mineralization
(2023-06-16) - ThesisAlkaline igneous rocks host many High Field Strength (HFSE) and Rare Earth Element (REE) deposits, which are key for the global low-carbon energy transition. To better target these, a better understanding of alteration ... -
Fire and ice : understanding volcanic histories from sulfur isotopes in ice cores
(2023-06-16) - ThesisReconstructing the history of explosive volcanic eruptions is important for understanding the frequency of eruptions and the climatic forcing of these events. Erupted volcanic SO₂ is oxidised to sulfate aerosols which ... -
The behaviour of nitrogen during differentiation of Earths igneous continental crust
(2023-06-16) - ThesisThe geological and biological nitrogen cycles are intimately linked. Nitrogen is an essential element in the structure of amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, and other molecules vital for life, as well as 78% of the ... -
Reconstructing past coastal change in southeast Scotland : evolution of the Fife coastline
(2022-06-15) - ThesisThe study of past relative sea level (RSL) change is crucial to improve our understanding of how coastlines could be affected by future climate change. This thesis adopts a multidisciplinary approach to explore past coastal ...
