Green offices and recalcitrant tenants: exploring rating tools sensitivities for multi-story office buildings
Ratings tools have emerged to help classify the 'greenness' of a building. These ratings tools assess the energy use or environmental impact of the building and the rating is then used to communicate the building's predicted environmental performance to target owners and tenants. This paper performs a due diligence analysis on a case study green-rated...

The Dissolution Kinetics of Calcium Carbonate in Seawater: Development and Application of an Automated pH-stat Method for the Measurement of Dissolution Rates
The gradual decrease in the saturation state of calcium carbonate in the ocean due to the absorption of anthropogenic CO2 is expected to enhance the dissolution of skeletons and shells of calcifying organisms. Experimental tools are required to investigate and determine the extent of changing ocean chemistry and impacts on the dissolution of biogenic CaCO3...

Benthic community structure and environmental drivers on Monowai Seamount, Kermadec volcanic arc
Seamounts are spatially isolated, underwater topographical features that extend more than 1 km above the seafloor. They are products of geological processes, and exhibit diverse forms of venting as a result of volcanism due to plate tectonics. Variable environmental factors on seamounts support communities of specialist chemosynthetic invertebrates, suspension-feeding fauna, and many commercially-important fish species...
