A multiproxy record from Lake Parishan, SW Iran, shows human impact on the lake and its catchment over the last 4000 years. The Parishan record provides evidence of changes in lake hydrology, from ostracod, diatom and isotope analyses, that are direc...

Gendered priorities for ‘improved’ sanitation: insights from Kisumu Kenya (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jewitt, S., & Ryley, H. Gendered priorities for ‘improved’ sanitation: insights from Kisumu Kenya. Presented at 38th WEDC International Conference

This paper explores how official concepts of ‘improved’ sanitation often fail to reflect the priorities of female users. As the health benefits associated with improved sanitation cannot be fully realised until all potential user groups habitually ut...

‘This restless enemy of all fertility’: exploring paradigms of coastal dune management in Western Europe over the last 700 years (2015)
Journal Article
Clarke, M. L., & Rendell, H. M. (2015). ‘This restless enemy of all fertility’: exploring paradigms of coastal dune management in Western Europe over the last 700 years. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 40(3), https://doi.org/10.1111/tran.12067

Drifting sand has inundated settlements and damaged agricultural land along the coasts of Western Europe for the last 700 years. The need to control sand migration has been an important driver of the management of coastal sand dunes and here we analy...

Area, climate heterogeneity, and the response of climate niches to ecological opportunity in island radiations of Anolis lizards (2015)
Journal Article
Algar, A. C., & Mahler, D. L. (2016). Area, climate heterogeneity, and the response of climate niches to ecological opportunity in island radiations of Anolis lizards. Global Ecology and Biogeography, 25(7), 781-791. https://doi.org/10.1111/geb.12327

Aim

Rates of climate niche evolution underlie numerous fundamental ecological processes and patterns. However, while climate niche conservatism varies markedly among regions and clades, the source of this variation remains poorly understood. We te...
