Nanomaterials are all around us. They are widely used as they show some extraordinary properties as catalysts (showing unexpected reactivity or needing less starting material), as additives to change properties of bulk materials (exhibiting luminescent properties like in quantum dots, or altering wetting behavior for self cleaning effect), biomedical applications for target drug delivery, potential investigation tool or new treatment ...
This research concerns the use of geochemical data from well-preserved Large Benthic Foraminifera, i.e. Nummulites, to reconstruct key intervals of the Eocene climate history of NW Europe. By using a paleotemperature proxy equation, temperatures can be reconstructed through the Mg/Ca of fossil Nummulites tests. This PhD will focus on the application and improvement of this proxy by (a) methodological research and (b) high resolution ...
Namurian basinal mudstones in the Northwest European Carboniferous Basin hold potentially significant importance as gas resources. Exploration efforts in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands have shown promising results for future gas production. Some countries, such as the UK, have also examined their importance for CO2 storage. However, these mudstones remain poorly studied in Belgium and surrounding regions, limiting their potential for ...
This research is based on archaeological glass with corresponding soil samples, excavated on the site of the high medieval castle Cucagna in Friuli/Northern Italy. The glass fragments can be dated between the 13th and the 15th century AD.
The core hypothesis of this work is that the glass used at Cucagna Castle were brought in from the Northern Italian glass factories under Venetian patronage, as the impressive glass qualities ...
