Seismic stratigraphy and sediment cores reveal lake-level fluctuations in Lake Iznik (NW Turkey) over the past ∼70 ka (2024)
Journal Article
Gastineau, R., Anselmetti, F., Fabbri, S., Sabatier, P., Roeser, P., Gündüz, S., …de Sigoyer, J. (2024). Seismic stratigraphy and sediment cores reveal lake-level fluctuations in Lake Iznik (NW Turkey) over the past ∼70 ka. Sedimentary Geology, 464, Article 106620. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sedgeo.2024.106620

Our study aims to understand the palaeohydrological history of Lake Iznik and unravel the complex interplay between climatic, tectonic, and environmental factors that have shaped this Turkish basin. Through the analysis of seismic stratigraphy and se... Read More about Seismic stratigraphy and sediment cores reveal lake-level fluctuations in Lake Iznik (NW Turkey) over the past ∼70 ka.

Evolution of cosmic filaments in the MTNG simulation (2024)
Journal Article
Galárraga-Espinosa, D., Cadiou, C., Gouin, C., White, S. D. M., Springel, V., Pakmor, R., …Hernández-Aguayo, C. (2024). Evolution of cosmic filaments in the MTNG simulation. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 684, Article A63. https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361/202347982

We present a study of the evolution of cosmic filaments across redshift with an emphasis on some important properties: filament lengths, growth rates, and radial profiles of galaxy densities. Following an observation-driven approach, we built cosmic... Read More about Evolution of cosmic filaments in the MTNG simulation.

Implications and impacts of aligning regional agriculture with a healthy diet (2024)
Journal Article
Sharp, R. T., Sanderson Bellamy, A., Clear, A., Mitchell Finnigan, S., Furness, E., Meador, E., …Milne, A. E. (2024). Implications and impacts of aligning regional agriculture with a healthy diet. Journal of Cleaner Production, 449, Article 141375. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.141375

One of the most intractable challenges currently facing agricultural systems is the need to produce sufficient food for all to enjoy a healthy balanced diet while minimising impacts to the environment. Balancing these competing goals is especially in... Read More about Implications and impacts of aligning regional agriculture with a healthy diet.

Utilising a multi-proxy to model comparison to constrain the season and regionally heterogeneous impacts of the Mt Samalas 1257 eruption (2024)
Journal Article
Wainman, L., Marshall, L. R., & Schmidt, A. (2024). Utilising a multi-proxy to model comparison to constrain the season and regionally heterogeneous impacts of the Mt Samalas 1257 eruption. Climate of the Past, 20(4), 951-968. https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-20-951-2024

The Mt Samalas eruption, thought to have occurred in summer 1257, ranks as one of the most explosive sulfur-rich eruptions of the Common Era. Despite recent convergence, several dates have been proposed for the eruption ranging between 1256–1258, wit...

A novel Bayesian approach for decomposing the radio emission of quasars: I. Modelling the radio excess in red quasars (2024)
Journal Article
Yue, B. -., Best, P. N., Duncan, K. J., Calistro-Rivera, G., Morabito, L. K., Petley, J. W., …Smith, D. J. B. (2024). A novel Bayesian approach for decomposing the radio emission of quasars: I. Modelling the radio excess in red quasars. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 529(4), 3939-3957. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae725

Studies show that both radio jets from the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the star formation (SF) activity in quasar host galaxies contribute to the quasar radio emission; yet their relative contributions across the population remain unclear. Here... Read More about A novel Bayesian approach for decomposing the radio emission of quasars: I. Modelling the radio excess in red quasars.
