Identification of lipid biomarker skeletons as potential "chemical fossils" of micro-organisms

Biomarkers are organic molecules found in the natural environment whose stable carbon skeletons have been well preserved. They are often regarded, therefore as "chemical fossils" and can provide...

Organic pollutants in urban soils of Glasgow, UK

Concentrations of total organic carbon (TOC), total petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in 84 near-surface soils...

Performance Dashboard Genetically modified organisms (GMOs): applications for consent to release GMOs

This dashboard shows information about how the Genetically modified organisms (GMOs): applications for consent to release GMOs service is currently performing. This is a "beta" service. The...

Freshwater particulate organic radiocarbon for four major UK catchments, 2013-2014

This dataset includes radiocarbon (14C) content and d13C for river water samples collected across the UK. Samples were concentrated to four major catchments - the Ribble, Conwy, Hampshire Avon and...

Coastal Biodiversity and Ecosystem Service Sustainability (CBESS) total organic carbon in mudflat and saltmarsh habitats

The dataset details organic carbon content of sediments across 6 intertidal sites in the winter and summer of 2013. The data provide a quantitative measure of the organic carbon present within...

3D models of Ediacaran organisms (NERC Grant NE/V010859/2)

3D models of Ediacaran organisms generated using NURBS modelling for use in computer simulations of fluid flow. Models built between 2021 and 2023 using the computer-aided design program Rhinoceros...
