Mobilisation of sediment-associated metals from historical Pb working sites on the River Sheaf, Sheffield, UK (2008)
Journal Article
Hutchinson, S., & Rothwell, J. (2008). Mobilisation of sediment-associated metals from historical Pb working sites on the River Sheaf, Sheffield, UK. Environmental Pollution, 155(1), 61-71. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2007.10.033

Spatial and temporal patterns of metal mobilisation from former water-powered, Pb working sites in a suburban area of Sheffield (UK) were
investigated. Twelve time-integrated mass flux samplers were strategically deployed over two contrasting campai... Read More about Mobilisation of sediment-associated metals from historical Pb working sites on the River Sheaf, Sheffield, UK.

Magnetic approach to normalizing heavy metal concentrations for particle size effects in intertidal sediments in the Yangtze Estuary, China (2007)
Journal Article
Zhang, W., Yu, L., Lu, M., Hutchinson, S., & Feng, H. (2007). Magnetic approach to normalizing heavy metal concentrations for particle size effects in intertidal sediments in the Yangtze Estuary, China. Environmental Pollution, 147(1), 238-244. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2006.08.003

In this study, mineral magnetic, particle size and geochemical analyses were conducted on intertidal sediments from the Yangtze Estuary to examine the feasibility of heavy metal concentrations normalization using magnetic techniques. Susceptibility o... Read More about Magnetic approach to normalizing heavy metal concentrations for particle size effects in intertidal sediments in the Yangtze Estuary, China.

Sediment stratigraphy and heavy metal fluxes to reservoirs in the southern Pennines uplands, UK. (2006)
Journal Article
Shotbolt, L., Hutchinson, S., & Thomas, A. (2006). Sediment stratigraphy and heavy metal fluxes to reservoirs in the southern Pennines uplands, UK. Journal of Paleolimnology, 35(2), 305-322. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-005-1594-2

Reservoir sediments are rarely used as environmental archives because of the potential for sediment disturbance by fluctuating water levels. However, rapid rates of sedimentation, proximity to urban centres and often the existence of management recor...

The recent sedimentation history of Aqualate Mere (Central England): assessing the potential for lake restoration. (2005)
Journal Article
Hutchinson, S. (2005). The recent sedimentation history of Aqualate Mere (Central England): assessing the potential for lake restoration. Journal of Paleolimnology, 33(2), 205-228. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-004-3991-3

As part of English Nature's Lakes Flagship Project to address adverse environmental impacts on selected, important lakes, a proposal has been made to dredge Aqualate Mere. The site has experienced rapid, 'recent' sedimentation thought to be derived f...

Journal Article
Yuan, W., James, P., Hodgson, K., Hutchinson, S., & Shi, C. (2003). Development of sustainability indicators by communities in China : a case study of Chongming County, Shanghai. Journal of Environmental Management, 68(3), 253-262. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0301-4797%2803%2900063-X

Public participation as a means of identifying sustainability indicators for Chongming County, Shanghai, China was evaluated by an international group drawing on established best practice. An initial 'long list' of 86 sustainability indicators, based... Read More about Development of sustainability indicators by communities in China : a case study of Chongming County, Shanghai.

China's Yangtze Estuary: I. Geomorphic influence on heavy metal accumulation in intertidal sediments. (2001)
Journal Article
Zhang, W., Yu, L., Hutchinson, S., Xu, S., Chen, Z., & Gao, X. (2001). China's Yangtze Estuary: I. Geomorphic influence on heavy metal accumulation in intertidal sediments. Geomorphology, 41(2-3), 195-205. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0169-555X%2801%2900116-7

Five intertidal sites along the coast of the Yangtze Estuary, China were examined for concentrations of heavy metals including Cu, Zn, Pb, Ni, Mn and Fe in bulk surficial and core sediments. Differences in heavy metal concentrations are apparent betw... Read More about China's Yangtze Estuary: I. Geomorphic influence on heavy metal accumulation in intertidal sediments..
