Historically, it was common practice to dispose of landfill waste in low‐lying estuarine and coastal areas where land had limited value due flood risk. Such ‘historic landfills’ are frequently unlined with no leachate management inadequate records the they contain. Globally, there 100,000s such landfills, for example, England >1200 historic landfills many close proximity designated environmental sites or in/near influencing bathing water quality; yet, is a very understanding risk posed....
Repeat observations underpin our understanding of environmental processes, but financial constraints often limit scientists’ ability to deploy dense networks conventional commercial instrumentation. Rapid growth in the Internet-Of-Things (IoT) and maker movement is paving way for low-cost electronic sensors transform global monitoring. Accessible inexpensive sensor construction also fostering exciting opportunities citizen science participatory research. Drawing on 6 years developmental work...
Prior to modern environmental regulation landfills in low-lying coastal environments were frequently constructed without leachate control, relying on natural attenuation within inter-tidal sediments dilute and disperse contaminants reducing impact. With sea level rise erosion these sites may now pose a pollution risk, yet have received little investigation. This work examines the extent of metal contamination saltmarsh surrounding historic landfill UK. Patterns sediment data suggest typical...

River restoration projects focused on altering flow regimes through use of in-channel structures can facilitate ecosystem services, such as promoting nitrogen (N) storage to reduce eutrophication. In this study we small flux chambers examine ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3-) cycling across the sediment-water interface. Paired restored unrestored sites in 5 urban tributaries Thames Greater London were used N dynamics following physical disturbances (0-3 min exposures) subsequent...
