A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

Salt‐Freshwater Mixing and Submarine Groundwater Discharge in Sloping Unconfined Tidal Aquifers
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.Abstract Previous studies have revealed the groundwater flow and salt transport in unconfined coastal aquifers in response to numerous factors. However, previous studies assumed a flat aquifer base, and it is unclear how a sloping aquifer base would affect the subsurface flow and salinity distributions.
