Carbonation of borehole seals: comparing evidence from short-term laboratory experiments and long-term natural analogues [PDF]
, 2012 It is crucial that the engineered seals of boreholes in the vicinity of a deep storage facility remain effective for considerable timescales if the long-term geological containment of stored CO2 is to be effective.

Eels as Hosts for Parasitic Mussels: The Importance of Endangered Species Co‐Management
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.The ability of Unionid mussels to utilize eels as hosts has not been investigated thoroughly, particularly in Europe; therefore, we investigated the transformation success of Europe's seven most common unionid species after infestation on the European eel (Anguilla anguilla).

Tracking Bronze Age ‘itinerant smiths’ in western Poland: insights from Nd and Sr isotope data
Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract The neodymium (Nd) isotope composition of stone casting moulds found in graves of Bronze Age ‘itinerant smiths’ in western Poland was analysed to determine the provenance of their raw materials. For the first time in archaeological research, the Nd model age (TDM)—a highly useful parameter in studying the provenance of geological materials—has

Accessory minerals: a provenancing tool for steatite quarries
Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract Steatite has been a widely traded material across a range of archaeological contexts. Yet, challenges inherent to determining its provenance limits our understanding of the networks and mechanisms of its exchange. We present a robust new accessory mineral provenancing “fingerprint” method based their specific growth history.
