This project will investigate the crystallinity and crystallography of calcite which has precipitated during sequestration of atmospheric CO2 by steel slag.
The composition and pollution implications of waste materials from historic paper makingThis project will investigate the composition and pollution implications of waste materials from historic paper making, using a case study site at Milngavie, Scotland.

Meteorites contain volatiles including water and CO2 that have been used with great effect to explore Solar System processes – meteorites from asteroids can tell us about the delivery of water to the early Earth, whereas Martian meteorites provide unique information on and the hydrosphere and atmosphere of the Red Planet.
The shergottite meteorites are igneous rocks that sample the relatively young (150–475 Ma) crust of Mars, and so provide unique and very valuable insights into the planet’s geological evolution.
The history of Earth has been punctuated by a series of highly energetic impact events, some of which have significantly affected the terrestrial biosphere.
