A Wave Tank Study on Turbulent Transport of a Passive Tracer Above Gravelly Sand Beds

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Exchange processes at the seabed interface have a non‐negligible impact on biogeochemical processes of the sea. Acknowledging this impact on the input of nutrients from the seabed into the water column further entails properly assessing the transport and mixing of these nutrients within the water column.

How safe are peat‐free growing media? An exploration of plant pathogen risks to the horticultural industry and recommendations for risk mitigation

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 6, Page 1684-1699, November 2025.
The UK's horticultural industry is shifting from reliance on unsustainable peat‐based growing media to products that contain alternative constituents, including coir, bark, wood fibre and composted green waste. Some peat‐alternatives carry an elevated risk of harbouring plant pathogens, including the potential to introduce novel pathogens from overseas,

How Shells of Different Shapes Affect Current‐Driven Sand Transport

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 130, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract The seabed rarely consists solely of bare sand: often other materials, such as shells are present. They can influence sand transport by armoring the bed and modifying its roughness. Biogenic shells come in different shapes and sizes, depending on the mollusc species that produce them.
