Improving representation of riparian vegetation shading in a regional stream temperature model using LiDAR data (2017)
Journal Article
Loicq, P., Moatar, F., Jullian, Y., Dugdale, S. J., & Hannah, D. M. (2018). Improving representation of riparian vegetation shading in a regional stream temperature model using LiDAR data. Science of the Total Environment, 624, 480-490. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.12.129

Modelling river temperature at the catchment scale is needed to understand how aquatic communities may adapt to current and projected climate change. In small and medium rivers, riparian vegetation can greatly reduce maximum water temperature by prov...

Towards an international standard: the ISO/DIS 18504 Sustainable remediation (2017)
Journal Article
Nathanail, C. P., Bakker, L. M., Bardos, P., Furukawa, Y., Nardella, A., Smith, G., …Goestsche, G. (in press). Towards an international standard: the ISO/DIS 18504 Sustainable remediation. Remediation Journal, 28(1), https://doi.org/10.1002/rem.21538

Sustainable remediation is the elimination and/or control of unacceptable risks in a safe and timely manner while optimizing the environmental, social, and economic value of the work. Forthcoming International Organization for Standardization (ISO) S... Read More about Towards an international standard: the ISO/DIS 18504 Sustainable remediation.

Culture, tradition, and taboo: understanding the social shaping of fuel choices and cooking practices in Nigeria (2017)
Journal Article
Akintan, O., Jewitt, S., & Clifford, M. (2018). Culture, tradition, and taboo: understanding the social shaping of fuel choices and cooking practices in Nigeria. Energy Research and Social Science, 40, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2017.11.019

Wood fuel remains the most widely used domestic fuel amongst resource poor groups in many low-income countries, despite the environmental and health problems associated with exposure to wood smoke. Studies on household air pollution concentrate predo... Read More about Culture, tradition, and taboo: understanding the social shaping of fuel choices and cooking practices in Nigeria.

Applying geomorphological principles and engineering science to develop a phased sediment management plan for Mount St Helens, Washington (2017)
Journal Article
Sclafani, P., Nygaard, C., & Thorne, C. R. (2018). Applying geomorphological principles and engineering science to develop a phased sediment management plan for Mount St Helens, Washington. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 43(5), https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4277

Thirty-seven years post-eruption, erosion of the debris avalanche at Mount St. Helens continues to supply sediment to the Toutle-Cowlitz River system in quantities that have the potential to lower the Level of Protection (LoP) against flooding unacce...

Soil and land use research in Europe: lessons learned from INSPIRATION bottom-up strategic research agenda setting (2017)
Journal Article
Bartke, S., Boekhold, A. E., Brils, J., Grimski, D., Ferber, U., Gorgon, J., …Schröter-Schlaack, C. (2018). Soil and land use research in Europe: lessons learned from INSPIRATION bottom-up strategic research agenda setting. Science of the Total Environment, 622-623, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.11.335

We introduce the INSPIRATION bottom-up approach for the development of a strategic research agenda for spatial planning, land use and soil-sediment-water-system management in Europe. Research and innovation needs were identified by more than 500 Euro...

Supervised methods of image segmentation accuracy assessment in land cover mapping (2017)
Journal Article
Costa, H., Foody, G. M., & Boyd, D. S. (2018). Supervised methods of image segmentation accuracy assessment in land cover mapping. Remote Sensing of Environment, 205, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2017.11.024

Land cover mapping via image classification is sometimes realized through object-based image analysis. Objects are typically constructed by partitioning imagery into spatially contiguous groups of pixels through image segmentation and used as the bas...

Africa's urban adaptation transition under a 1.5° climate (2017)
Journal Article
Pelling, M., Leck, H., Pasquini, L., Ajibade, I., Osuteye, E., Parnell, S., …Boubacar, S. (2018). Africa's urban adaptation transition under a 1.5° climate. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 31, 10-15. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cosust.2017.11.005

For cities in sub-Saharan Africa a 1.5 °C increase in global temperature will bring forward the urgency of meeting basic needs in sanitation, drinking water and land-tenure, and underlying governance weaknesses. The challenges of climate sensitive ma... Read More about Africa's urban adaptation transition under a 1.5° climate.
