https://t.co/I69QibVcmG… We used a 13C labeled substrate to show that association to iron minerals limits organic carbon mineralization in anoxic soils @EthSoil@notini_luiza
Using EXAFS spectroscopy at @ausynchrotron, our new @EnvSciTech paper reveals a novel and partly synergistic process governing co-sorption of arsenic and antimony to jarosite.
Very excited to share this work thanks to excellent honours student Evie Dillon and fab colleagues @DrBreeMorgan@BurtonEd@TheMicroscopist, continuing our efforts to use acid stable porous titania for environmental remediation https://t.co/kK9LHdvnx6
The best start to 2023! 🥂Our new @HAZMAT_journal paper on multiple trace element uptake in hematite is out. Big thanks to my coauthors @GeoloJess_ @heab@BurtonEd Oxana Repina, Martin Saunders and my supervisor @talitha_santini 🥳

I had the pleasure last week of being amongst the 1st users of the new MEX1 beamline @ausynchrotron with @nkarimia@DrFrierdich & @MarkPownceby. Thanks for the light @DrEmilyFinch, Chris Glover, Valerie Mitchell, Jeremy Wykes, Peter Kappen and team.
Thank you so much @ausynchrotron and our amazing beamline scientists Emily, Jeremy, Valerie and Chris, for giving us the chance to be among the first users of MEX1 Beamline, we loved it ! 😊@DrEmilyFinch@CSIRO@MonashEAE@SynchUsers
Extremely honoured to be the recipient of the 2022 Thomas Davies Research and the highly recommended awardee of the Max Day research grants @Science_Academy#ShineDome22 to study the co-behaviour of toxic metals #arsenic and #antimony in the environment @SCUonline @CSIRO@monash
Our latest @EnvSciTech paper explores antimony(V) incorporation into schwertmannite. Check it out at: https://t.co/gUVQX1O7lW. By M Rastegari @nkarimia @ScottJoh_dirtDr @GeoloJess_ S Doherty @gichem06 M Hosseinpour & myself. Thanks @arc_gov_au@ausynchrotron
Climate change is not our largest environmental problem. We need to get serious about the largest - chemical contamination of soil, water and air https://t.co/YlYV99R75o
Editor's Choice: Evidence of hexavalent chromium formation and changes of Cr speciation after laboratory-simulated fires of composted tannery #sludges long-term amended agricultural #soils - Ida Rascio et al. https://t.co/OKdvRfIH91
If you're interested in how hexavalent chromium can be reduced via interactions with iron minerals, such as schwertmannite, check out our paper in @HAZMAT_journal. https://t.co/FrU0lz3yMl
By @gichem06@nkarimia & myself. Thanks to @arc_gov_au@ausynchrotron & NSRRC, Taiwan.
Turning waste from bauxite refining into an environmentally-beneficial resource. Our new paper in @HAZMAT_journal explores the use of Bauxsol from Virotec Pty Ltd for remediation of lead-contaminated soil. Thanks to @arc_gov_au@ausynchrotron. https://t.co/k3IuEdX65D
Southern Cross University and global bio-tech corporation VRM Biologik® have announced a significant new partnership. A suite of scholarships and opportunities worth $500,000 will support students in #regenerativeagriculture programs over the next 5 years. https://t.co/ytSikmiuFX
