Did you know that you can now view all ~80 of our mine water treatment / control schemes and also see how much low carbon heat it could be possible to recover from them ?! just follow this link and click on 'mine water heat' in the top blue ribbon datamine-cauk.hub.arcgis.com

What do you do when three of your mine water sites are dominated by a pair of cooccurring SOB, while all other sites are dominated by a pair of cooccurring FeOB and the pattern can’t be explained by any of the measured variables? You start digging! doi.org/10.1093/fems...

Another PhD paper out! 🎉 Me and @sararassner.bsky.social looked into microbial communities (16S rRNA gene amplicons 🧬) of the south Wales coalfield across time and geography to uncover their ecology, intrinsically connected to regional hydrology and hydrochemistry. 🦠
