Land-use carbon changes and monitoring (2025)
Book Chapter

About 40% of global habitable land area is used for agricultural-related activities. As farming practices can influence soil carbon stocks and the ability of the land to sequester carbon, there has been a growing interest in monitoring carbon fluxes...

Molecular hydrogen treatments in food supplies: Enhanced growth, better yields, and prolonged postharvest storage? (2025)
Book Chapter

Food security is an issue which will only get more prominent as the human population continues to expand across the globe, and therefore new and innovative approaches to improve crops production and storage need to be tried. The application of molecu... Read More about Molecular hydrogen treatments in food supplies: Enhanced growth, better yields, and prolonged postharvest storage?.

Towards freezing global warming (2025)
Book Chapter

Numerous policies have been proposed to mitigate the problem of climate change as reducing emissions alone will not be sufficient. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), which captures carbon at the source, and Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs), whic... Read More about Towards freezing global warming.

(Re)conceptualising science communication through the lens of science-theatre (2025)
Book Chapter

INTRODUCTION
I am a science communication researcher with an interest in science-theatre and as such I often look at science-theatre from within the frame and perspectives of science communication. However, my work with science-theatre has suggested... Read More about (Re)conceptualising science communication through the lens of science-theatre.

Connecting people and planet through reading for pleasure (2025)
Book Chapter

This chapter reflects on research using MG Leonard’s Beetle Boy to consider how reading for pleasure has the potential to impact upon social and environmental action. Research with children and teachers revealed how reading the book supported them to... Read More about Connecting people and planet through reading for pleasure.

The role and function of the Forensic Science Regulator in the UK (2024)
Book Chapter

A Forensic Science Regulator's (FSR) role was established in England and Wales at a time when the UK forensic science sector was undergoing significant structural changes that would introduce commercialization—a system of direct charging for forensic...

Carbon farming, regenerative agriculture and environmental sustainability: practices and standards (2024)
Book Chapter

Microfluidics for food and nutrition applications (2024)
Book Chapter

Fluid flow at the micro- and nanoscale exhibits unique phenomena that can be used to create components suitable for conducting biological studies. This chapter provides an overview of the current state-of-the-art microfluidic technology applications... Read More about Microfluidics for food and nutrition applications.

Admissibility of forensic evidence and expert witnesses (2024)
Book Chapter

In GBVAW cases, where forensic evidence will likely form part of the evidence for the prosecution, an expert in the specific evidence type (such as a DNA expert) will be required to assess the evidence in the context of the case to help the court dec... Read More about Admissibility of forensic evidence and expert witnesses.

Rahnella (2024)
Book Chapter

Rahnella species are ubiquitous in the environment, regularly isolated from water, soil, and woody tree hosts as well as occasionally from human clinical samples. Cells are Gram stain negative, facultatively anaerobic, and motile rods. Species are ps... Read More about Rahnella.

‘Meet and greet’ Animal experiences in zoos (2024)
Book Chapter

It is common for zoos in the UK to offer opportunities for visitors to interact with animals in the form of ‘Meet and Greet’ (M&G) experiences; which may include feeding, petting and posing for photographs. There is limited research investigating the... Read More about ‘Meet and greet’ Animal experiences in zoos.

An exploration of the direct biological targets of molecular hydrogen (2024)
Book Chapter

Molecular hydrogen (H2), supplied either as a gas or in a solution, has been gaining popularity as a treatment for a variety of conditions and diseases. For example, it has been suggested to be beneficial for neurodegenerative diseases, to ease the i... Read More about An exploration of the direct biological targets of molecular hydrogen.

Kosakonia (2024)
Book Chapter

Species within the genus Kosakonia are primarily plant-growth-promoting bacteria, able to fix nitrogen and improve crop yield. However, several species have also been isolated from clinical samples and are thought to cause rare incidences of disease.... Read More about Kosakonia.

Lelliottia (2024)
Book Chapter

The genus Lelliottia includes species regularly isolated from water, soil, spoiled fruit and vegetables, elm trees suffering from “wetwood” disease, and also from clinical samples. Cells are Gram-stain-negative, facultatively anaerobic, motile rods.... Read More about Lelliottia.

Food pathways to community success (2023)
Book Chapter

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, approximately 811 million people around the world do not have access to adequate food to live active and healthy lives. This has led to an increase in reliance on food assistance programs, a service... Read More about Food pathways to community success.

Audiences for science-theatre: Valued but under-explored (2023)
Book Chapter

Despite the growing interest in science-theatre, its audiences remain an under-researched topic within the field of science communication. Therefore, we know relatively little about audience engagement with science-theatre in this context. In this ch... Read More about Audiences for science-theatre: Valued but under-explored.

Bacteriophage taxonomy: A continually evolving discipline (2023)
Book Chapter

While taxonomy is an often underappreciated branch of science, it serves very important roles. Bacteriophage taxonomy has evolved from a discipline based mainly on morphology, characterized by the work of David Bradley and Hans-Wolfgang Ackermann, to...

H2S priming and plant abiotic stress tolerance (2023)
Book Chapter

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an emerging multitasking signaling molecule involved in plant responses to many abiotic stresses, promoting tolerance and growth under limiting conditions. There is experimental evidence of cross talk between H2S and nitric... Read More about H2S priming and plant abiotic stress tolerance.

Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species cellular crosstalk (2023)
Book Chapter

Accumulating data highlight the fact that nitric oxide (NO), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) act as intercellular key signaling molecules in plants. These molecules act in a well-orchestrated manner that regulates cells redo... Read More about Reactive oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur species cellular crosstalk.

Molecular hydrogen as a beneficial postharvest treatment (2023)
Book Chapter

Molecular hydrogen (H2) has been shown to have significant effects in plants, especially during stress responses. H2 treatment can be used as a gas or as an H2-enriched solution, often termed hydrogen-rich water (HRW). Cellular effects of H2 are ofte...
