Landed estates and the place of public houses: Agricultural and industrial change in the English East Midlands, c.1860–1930 (2024)
Journal Article
Beckingham, D. (2024). Landed estates and the place of public houses: Agricultural and industrial change in the English East Midlands, c.1860–1930. Journal of Historical Geography, 84, 97-107. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhg.2024.03.012

This article uses the records the Manvers and Portland estates in Nottinghamshire and north-east Derbyshire to consider the provision and management of licensed premises between the 1860s and 1930s. Using archival materials of land agents and solicit... Read More about Landed estates and the place of public houses: Agricultural and industrial change in the English East Midlands, c.1860–1930.

Future malaria environmental suitability in Africa is sensitive to hydrology (2024)
Journal Article
Smith, M. W., Willis, T., Mroz, E., James, W. H. M., Klaar, M. J., Gosling, S. N., & Thomas, C. J. (2024). Future malaria environmental suitability in Africa is sensitive to hydrology. Science, 384(6696), 697-703. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adk8755

Changes in climate shift the geographic locations that are suitable for malaria transmission because of the thermal constraints on vector Anopheles mosquitos and Plasmodium spp. malaria parasites and the lack of availability of surface water for vect...

Beyond the Walls: Patterns of Child Labour, Forced Labour, and Exploitation in a New Domestic Workers Dataset (2024)
Journal Article
Trodd, Z., Waite, C., Goulding, J., & Boyd, D. S. (2024). Beyond the Walls: Patterns of Child Labour, Forced Labour, and Exploitation in a New Domestic Workers Dataset. Societies, 14(5), Article 62. https://doi.org/10.3390/soc14050062

The new Domestic Workers Dataset is the largest single set of surveys (n = 11,759) of domestic workers to date. Our analysis of this dataset reveals features about the lives and work of this “hard-to-find” population in India—a country estimated to h...

US Federal Nutrition Policy the Legal Geographies of Precision Welfare (2024)
Journal Article
Higgins, A. K. (in press). US Federal Nutrition Policy the Legal Geographies of Precision Welfare. Professional Geographer,

Produce prescriptions are nutrition incentive programs that focus on specific populations diagnosed with chronic diseases. Since 2010 these programs have multiplied across the United States, with much of this growth attributed to expanded federal fun...

Unoccupied aerial vehicles as a tool to map lizard operative temperature in tropical environments (2024)
Journal Article
Higgins, E. A., Boyd, D. S., Brown, T. W., Owen, S. C., van der Heijden, G. M. F., & Algar, A. C. (2024). Unoccupied aerial vehicles as a tool to map lizard operative temperature in tropical environments. Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, https://doi.org/10.1002/rse2.393

To understand how ectotherms will respond to warming temperatures, we require information on thermal habitat quality at spatial resolutions and extents relevant to the organism. Measuring thermal habitat quality is either limited to small spatial ext... Read More about Unoccupied aerial vehicles as a tool to map lizard operative temperature in tropical environments.

InSAR-measured permafrost degradation of palsa peatlands in northern Sweden (2024)
Journal Article
Valman, S., Siewert, M. B., Boyd, D., Ledger, M., Gee, D., de la Barreda-Bautista, B., …Sjögersten, S. (2024). InSAR-measured permafrost degradation of palsa peatlands in northern Sweden. Cryosphere, 18(4), 1773-1790. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-18-1773-2024

Climate warming is degrading palsa peatlands across the circumpolar permafrost region. Permafrost degradation may lead to ecosystem collapse and potentially strong climate feedbacks, as this ecosystem is an important carbon store and can transition t...

Understanding the effects of spatially variable riparian tree planting strategies to target water temperature reductions in rivers (2024)
Journal Article
Dugdale, S. J., Malcolm, I. A., & Hannah, D. M. (2024). Understanding the effects of spatially variable riparian tree planting strategies to target water temperature reductions in rivers. Journal of Hydrology, 635, Article 131163. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2024.131163

Climate change is increasing river temperature globally, altering the thermal suitability for iconic cold-water adapted fishes. In regions with low tree cover, the impacts of projected climate change on river temperature will be particularly pronounc...
