New year and some big personal news! 🥳
In March I will be joining the University of Stirling as a lecturer in Earth and Environmental Chemistry. I can’t believe how lucky I am to get to set up a research group in such a beautiful place, finally returning (almost) to where I grew up after 20 years!

It’s been a while since I was active here, but I’m back yay with a plug for a new paper: pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a... When I first worked on this I didn’t understand why my very air sensitive siderite wasn’t oxidising in some tests, we show that it was being stabilised by organic acids.
Low molecular weight organic acids stabilise siderite against oxidation and influence the composition of iron (oxyhydr)oxide oxidation products
Siderite (FeCO3) is an important reservoir of mineral-bound ferrous iron in non-sulfidic, reducing soils and sediments. It is redox sensitive, and its oxidation may facilitate the reduction of a range...
