Overcoming uncertainty and barriers to adoption of Blue-Green Infrastructure for urban flood risk management: Uncertainties and barriers to adoption of BGI (2015)
Journal Article
Thorne, C., Lawson, E., Ozawa, C., Hamlin, S., & Smith, L. (2018). Overcoming uncertainty and barriers to adoption of Blue-Green Infrastructure for urban flood risk management: Uncertainties and barriers to adoption of BGI. Journal of Flood Risk Management, 11, S960-S972. https://doi.org/10.1111/jfr3.12218

Blue-Green Infrastructure (BGI) and Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are increasingly recognised as vital components of urban flood risk management. However, uncertainty regarding their hydrologic performance and lack of confidence concerning thei...

Sex-specific responses of phenotypic diversity to environmental variation (2015)
Journal Article
Algar, A. C., & López-Darias, M. (2016). Sex-specific responses of phenotypic diversity to environmental variation. Ecography, 39(8), 715-725. https://doi.org/10.1111/ecog.01696

Identifying the factors generating ecomorphological diversity within species can provide a window into the nascent stages of ecological radiation. Sexual dimorphism is an obvious axis of intraspecific morphological diversity that could affect how env... Read More about Sex-specific responses of phenotypic diversity to environmental variation.

The mineralogy and fabric of 'Brickearths' in Kent, UK and their relationship to engineering behaviour (2015)
Journal Article
Milodowski, A. E., Northmore, K. J., Kemp, S. J., Entwisle, D. C., Gunn, D. A., Jackson, P. D., Boardman, D. I., Zoumpakis, A., Rogers, C. D., Dixon, N., Jefferson, I., Smalley, I. J., & Clarke, M. L. (2015). The mineralogy and fabric of 'Brickearths' in Kent, UK and their relationship to engineering behaviour. Bulletin of Engineering Geology and the Environment, 74(4), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10064-014-0694-5

Mineralogical and petrographical investigation of two loessic brickearth profiles from Ospringe and Pegwell Bay in north Kent, UK have differentiated two types of brickearth fabric that can be correlated with different engineering behaviour. Both seq... Read More about The mineralogy and fabric of 'Brickearths' in Kent, UK and their relationship to engineering behaviour.

Accurate attribute mapping from volunteered geographic information: issues of volunteer quantity and quality (2015)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M., See, L., Fritz, S., van der Velde, M., Perger, C., Schill, C., Boyd, D., & Comber, A. (2015). Accurate attribute mapping from volunteered geographic information: issues of volunteer quantity and quality. Cartographic Journal, 52(4), https://doi.org/10.1080/00087041.2015.1108658

Crowdsourcing is a popular means of acquiring data, but the use of such data is limited by concerns with its quality. This is evident within cartography and geographical sciences more generally, with the quality of volunteered geographic information...

Dreaming Other Worlds: Commodity Culture, Mass Desire, and the Ideology of Inception (2015)
Journal Article
Danyluk, M. (2015). Dreaming Other Worlds: Commodity Culture, Mass Desire, and the Ideology of Inception. Rethinking Marxism, 27(4), 601-610. https://doi.org/10.1080/08935696.2015.1076966

This essay provides a critical reading of the 2010 science fiction film Inception, advancing two theses about contemporary mass culture. First, mainstream cultural products contain certain utopian moments. Yet while they may offer glimpses of a world...

Lianas reduce carbon accumulation and storage in tropical forests (2015)
Journal Article
van der Heijden, G. M., Powers, J. S., & Schnitzer, S. A. (2015). Lianas reduce carbon accumulation and storage in tropical forests. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 112(43), https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1504869112

Tropical forests store vast quantities of carbon, account for a third of the carbon fixed by photosynthesis, and are a major sink in the global carbon cycle. Recent evidence suggests that competition between lianas (woody vines) and trees may reduce... Read More about Lianas reduce carbon accumulation and storage in tropical forests.

Glacial geomorphology of the Skálafellsjökull foreland, Iceland: A case study of ‘annual’ moraines (2015)
Journal Article
Chandler, B. M., Evans, D. J., Roberts, D. H., Ewertowski, M., & Clayton, A. I. (2016). Glacial geomorphology of the Skálafellsjökull foreland, Iceland: A case study of ‘annual’ moraines. Journal of Maps, 12(5), 904-916. https://doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2015.1096216

Small-scale recessional push moraines are a characteristic signature of the active temperate glacial landsystem, and are often clearly linked to annual re-advances. These recessional push moraines represent a potentially valuable terrestrial climate...

This introduction to a special issue on historical geographies of internationalism begins by situating the essays that follow in relation to the on-going refugee crisis in Europe and beyond. This crisis has revealed, once again, both the challenges a... Read More about Introduction: historical geographies of internationalism, 1900-1950.

Comparisons of observed and modelled lake δ18O variability (2015)
Journal Article
Jones, M. D., Cuthbert, M., Leng, M. J., McGowan, S., Mariethoz, G., Arrowsmith, C., Sloane, H. J., Humphrey, K., & Cross, I. (2016). Comparisons of observed and modelled lake δ18O variability. Quaternary Science Reviews, 131(B), 329-340. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.09.012

With the substantial number of lake sediment δ18O records published in recent decades, a quantitative, process-based understanding of these systems can increase our understanding of past climate change. We test mass balance models of lake water δ18O... Read More about Comparisons of observed and modelled lake δ18O variability.
