The Politics of Injury: Debilitation and the Right to Maim at the EU Border (2024)
Journal Article
Davies, T., Isakjee, A., & Obradovic-Wochnik, J. (2024). The Politics of Injury: Debilitation and the Right to Maim at the EU Border. Geopolitics, 1-29. https://doi.org/10.1080/14650045.2024.2339894

Borders are sites of mass injury. This article questions the necro-consensus that has emerged within migration studies, and explores the political role that less-than-deadly violence plays at contemporary borders. By withholding from outright killing... Read More about The Politics of Injury: Debilitation and the Right to Maim at the EU Border.

Value pluralism, religious particularity, and environmental policy in pursuit of a sustainable future (2023)
Journal Article
Ives, C. D. (2023). Value pluralism, religious particularity, and environmental policy in pursuit of a sustainable future. Reviews in Science, Religion and Theology, 2(4), 4-26

Science has presented a clear picture about global environmental destabilisation and the need for dramatic solutions to ensure a safe and flourishing future. Current policy approaches are grossly insufficient to reverse the decline in key indicators...

Understanding the functioning of urban climate finance through topologies of reach (2023)
Journal Article
Grafe, F. J., Forino, G., Fraser, A., Hilbrandt, H., & Morris, J. H. (2025). Understanding the functioning of urban climate finance through topologies of reach. City, 29(1-2), 203-218. https://doi.org/10.1080/13604813.2023.2284383

Urban climate action is increasingly understood through the lens of finance: through financial agendas, interests, and practical tools which enable ‘bankable’ or profitable interventions. While the literature is rife with criticism of the normative f... Read More about Understanding the functioning of urban climate finance through topologies of reach.

An AI approach to operationalise global daily PlanetScope satellite imagery for river water masking (2023)
Journal Article
Valman, S. J., Boyd, D. S., Carbonneau, P. E., Johnson, M. F., & Dugdale, S. J. (2024). An AI approach to operationalise global daily PlanetScope satellite imagery for river water masking. Remote Sensing of Environment, 301, Article 113932. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2023.113932

Monitoring rivers is vital to manage the invaluable ecosystem services they provide, and also to mitigate the risks they pose to property and life through flooding and drought. Due to the vast extent and dynamic nature of river systems, Earth Observa... Read More about An AI approach to operationalise global daily PlanetScope satellite imagery for river water masking.

Public perceptions of rainwater harvesting (RWH): comparing users and non-users of RWH systems (2023)
Journal Article
Snelling, A. M., Lamond, J., Everett, G., O’Donnell, E. C., Ahilan, S., & Thorne, C. (2023). Public perceptions of rainwater harvesting (RWH): comparing users and non-users of RWH systems. Urban Water Journal, 21(2), 181-189. https://doi.org/10.1080/1573062x.2023.2281310

The UK’s abundant municipal water supply has resulted in slow progress with the uptake of rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems within the home. Research has indicated that exploring public preferences for domestic RWH are necessary for increasing deman...

Rethinking “surplus populations” Theory from the peripheries (2023)
Journal Article
Cowan, T., Campbell, S., & Kalb, D. (2023). Rethinking “surplus populations” Theory from the peripheries. Focaal, 2023(97), 7-21. https://doi.org/10.3167/fcl.2023.970102

Critical scholarship on twenty-first century capitalist development has called attention to certain structural limits on employment growth. Large populations excluded from formal employment are seen to eke out a precarious subsistence in informal eco... Read More about Rethinking “surplus populations” Theory from the peripheries.

A prominent hypothesis in ecology is that larger species ranges are found in more variable climates because species develop broader environmental tolerances, predicting a positive range size-temperature variability relationship. However, this overloo... Read More about Diurnal temperature range as a key predictor of plants’ elevation ranges globally.
