Tap water consumption amongst a cohort of UK twins is linked to perceptions of taste and health benefits Open
Drinking sufficient clean water is essential for human health. Surveys that estimate daily water intake report striking differences between individuals and countries, but the factors determining such variance remain unclear. Here we report…

Personalised estimates of dosage within a population-based cohort suggest limited evidence that drinking water chemistry modulates health outcomes Open
Access to clean drinking water is crucial for human health, but there are concerns that consumption levels of particular solutes may be linked to negative health outcomes. Many studies use data aggregated to area-level to assess consumptio…

Untangling nutrient co‐regulation of ombrotrophic peatland development Open
Ombrotrophic peatlands are the largest terrestrial store of global carbon (C). While hydroclimate controls over peatland development are well known, the importance of nutrient fluxes has been researched less. Atmospheric nutrient fluxes to…

Remote sensing and spatial analysis reveal unprecedented cyanobacteria bloom dynamics associated with elephant mass mortality Open
The 2020 mass mortality of 350 African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Botswana sparked global concern, with cyanotoxins in watering holes (pans) being a suspected cause, though evidence remains inconclusive. Combining remote sensing and…

Carcass locations implicate cyanobacterial toxicity in a mass elephant mortality event in Botswana Open
The 2020 mass mortality of 350 African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in Botswana sparked global concern. These deaths have been linked to cyanobacterial toxins (cyanotoxins) in local watering holes (pans), but evidence remains inconclusiv…

Complex evolution of Holocene hydroclimate, fire and vegetation revealed by molecular, minerogenic and biogenic proxies, Marais Geluk wetland, eastern Free State, South Africa Open
The Holocene climate history of Southern Africa remains inconclusive despite the increasing number of proxy records from the region. This might be related to the diversity of proxy records, how the proxies are interpreted, or that proxies …

Evaluating success in a changing academic landscape Open
How one individual characterises another successful individual varies widely. At a time when work–life balance and the use of metrics are key concerns within the academic landscape, Early Career Academics (ECAs) are voicing particular worr…

Navigating the academic ladder as an early career researcher in earth and environmental sciences Open
There is growing concern in Higher Education around job security, work–life balance and inequalities, and early career researchers (ECRs) must make difficult trade‐offs and life choices. Literature confirms that women navigating academia f…

Comment on cp-2021-56 Open
Abstract. Varved lake sediments are exceptional archives of paleoclimatic information due to their precise chronological control and annual resolution. However, quantitative paleoclimate reconstructions based on the biogeochemical composit…

Chronic atmospheric reactive N deposition has breached the N sink capacity of a northern ombrotrophic peatbog increasing the gaseous and fluvial N losses Open
Peatlands play an important role in modulating the climate, mainly through sequestration of carbon dioxide into peat carbon, which depends on the availability of reactive nitrogen (Nr) to mosses. Atmospheric Nr deposition in the UK has bee…

Low-cost electronic sensors for environmental research: Pitfalls and opportunities Open
Repeat observations underpin our understanding of environmental processes, but financial constraints often limit scientists’ ability to deploy dense networks of conventional commercial instrumentation. Rapid growth in the Internet-Of-Thing…

Comparing lake sediment records of landscape macronutrient loadings with N14CP model simulations: 200 years of change in British lakes Open
<p>To fully understand coupling between P and other macronutrients it is necessary to have both long-term data sets and process models, combining empirical reality with numerical simulation of coupling processes. Here, lake sediment …

Convergent human and climate forcing of late-Holocene flooding in northwest England Open
Concern is growing that climate change may amplify global flood risk but short hydrological data series hamper hazard assessment. Lake sediment reconstructions are capturing a fuller picture of rare, high-magnitude events but the UK has pr…

Using lake sediment archives to improve understanding of flood magnitude and frequency: Recent extreme flooding in northwest UK Open
We present the first quantitative reconstruction of palaeofloods using lake sediments for the UK and show that for a large catchment in NW England the cluster of devastating floods from 1990 to present is without precedent in this 558‐year…
