Managing potential pathogens in stored rainwater using small-scale in-situ electrochemical activation (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Clayton, G., Fox, B., Steer, M., Thorn, R., & Reynolds, D. (2022, September). Managing potential pathogens in stored rainwater using small-scale in-situ electrochemical activation. Presented at International Water Association World Water Congress and Exhibition, Copenhagen

Rainwater can be a lifeline for many people who do not have piped water supplies, experience dry seasons, or live-in fresh water scarce areas. The quality of stored rainwater can deteriorate over time, due to increasing concentrations of contaminants...

A case study: The deployment of a novel in situ fluorimeter for monitoring biological contamination within the urban surface waters of Kolkata, India (2022)
Journal Article
Fox, B., Thorn, R., Dutta, T., Bowes, M., Read, D., & Reynolds, D. (2022). A case study: The deployment of a novel in situ fluorimeter for monitoring biological contamination within the urban surface waters of Kolkata, India. Science of the Total Environment, 842, 156848. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.156848

The quality and health of many of our vital freshwater systems are poor. To tackle this with ever increasing pressures from anthropogenic and climatic changes, we must improve water quality monitoring and devise and implement more appropriate water q...

Laboratory in-situ production of autochthonous and allochthonous fluorescent organic matter by freshwater bacteria (2021)
Journal Article
Fox, B. G., Thorn, R. M. S., & Reynolds, D. M. (2021). Laboratory in-situ production of autochthonous and allochthonous fluorescent organic matter by freshwater bacteria. Microorganisms, 9(8), Article 1623. https://doi.org/10.3390/microorganisms9081623

This work investigates the origin and range of fluorescent organic matter (FOM) produced in-situ by environmentally sourced freshwater bacteria. Aquatic FOM is an essential component in global carbon cycling and is generally classified as either auto...

Water quality across the River Ganga basin in India: Trends, dominant geochemical processes and impacts (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Richards, L. A., Fox, B., Reynolds, D., Thorn, R., Clayton, G., Perrin, E., …Magnone, D. (2021, April). Water quality across the River Ganga basin in India: Trends, dominant geochemical processes and impacts. Presented at EGU General Assembly 2021

In a basin-wide survey of the River Ganga and key tributaries, from the Himalayan source to the Bay of Bengal in India, we aim to improve the conceptual understanding of downstream water quality trends along > 2000 km. Here we explore the spatial di... Read More about Water quality across the River Ganga basin in India: Trends, dominant geochemical processes and impacts.

Using in-situ sensors to quantify spatial variability in nutrient concentrations across the Ganges river basin (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Khamis, K., Fox, B., Reynolds, D., Thorn, R., Clayton, G., Perrin, E., …Magnone, D. (2021, April). Using in-situ sensors to quantify spatial variability in nutrient concentrations across the Ganges river basin. Presented at EGU General Assembly 2021

There is increasing interest in monitoring spatial variability in biogeochemical processes using field deployable sensors. Despite this, rigorous assessments of accuracy and optimal sensor configurations remain limited for such applications. We under...
