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 (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Fox, B., Thorn, R., Dutta, T., & Reynolds, D. (2021, April). A case study: The deployment of a novel in situ fluorimeter for monitoring biological contamination within the urban surface waters of Kolkata, India. Presented at EGU General Assembly 2021

With increasing pressures on water resources due to population, industrialization, agriculture, urbanization and climatic changes, improved temporal and spatial understanding of water quality is required. The development of new monitoring parameters,...

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...

Taking the pulse of Mother Ganga - Revealing the visible and invisible water pollution crisis along the Ganges River (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Krause, S., Fox, B., Reynolds, D., Thorn, R., Clayton, G., Perrin, E., …Magnone, D. (2021, April). Taking the pulse of Mother Ganga - Revealing the visible and invisible water pollution crisis along the Ganges River. Presented at EGU General Assembly 2021

It is probably hard to overestimate the significance of the River Ganges for its spiritual, cultural and religious importance. As the worlds’ most populated river basin and a major water resource for the 400 million people inhabiting its catchment, t...

Sediment and surface water microplastic contamination along the Ganges River, from the Himalayan foothills to the tidal reach downstream of Kolkata, India (2021)
Presentation / Conference
Nel, H., Fox, B., Reynolds, D., Thorn, R., Clayton, G., Perrin, E., …Magnone, D. (2021, April). Sediment and surface water microplastic contamination along the Ganges River, from the Himalayan foothills to the tidal reach downstream of Kolkata, India. Presented at EGU General Assembly 2021

Twenty rivers have been estimated previously to account for almost 70% of global plastic emissions to the marine environment. Of these, the Ganges River was second only to the Yangtze River. Yet, scale and complexity of the Ganges River network make...

The metabolic profiles and bacterial interactions of Bacteroides fragilis, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, E. coli Nissle 1917 and Clostridium perfringens on RG/C2 (benign) and HCT116 (malignant) colorectal tumour cell lines (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Okeyoyin, R., Robin, T., & David, Q. (2020, July). The metabolic profiles and bacterial interactions of Bacteroides fragilis, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, E. coli Nissle 1917 and Clostridium perfringens on RG/C2 (benign) and HCT116 (malignant) colorectal tumour cell lines. Presented at School of Applied Sciences Master of Research Conference, University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol, UK

The aim of this research was to determine the interaction of the afore mentioned bacterial species on the attachment and invasion of both benign and malignant tumour cells using the gentamicin and metronidazole bacterial infection assay. The results...
