‘Instead of fetching flowers, the youths brought in flakes of snow’: exploring extreme weather history through English parish registers (2017)
Journal Article
Veale, L., Bowen, J. P., & Endfield, G. H. (2017). ‘Instead of fetching flowers, the youths brought in flakes of snow’: exploring extreme weather history through English parish registers. Archives and Records, https://doi.org/10.1080/23257962.2016.1260531

Parish registers provide organized, dated and located population data and as such, are routinely among the most frequently consulted documents within the holdings of county record offices and archives. Throughout history, extreme weather has had sign...

Using mixed objects in the training of object-based image classifications (2017)
Journal Article
Costa, H., Foody, G. M., & Boyd, D. S. (2017). Using mixed objects in the training of object-based image classifications. Remote Sensing of Environment, 190, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2016.12.017

Image classification for thematic mapping is a very common application in remote sensing, which is sometimes realized through object-based image analysis. In these analyses, it is common for some of the objects to be mixed in their class composition... Read More about Using mixed objects in the training of object-based image classifications.

Cross‐scale intercomparison of climate change impacts simulated by regional and global hydrological models in eleven large river basins (2017)
Journal Article
Hattermann, F., Krysanova, V., Gosling, S. N., Dankers, R., Daggupati, P., Donnelly, C., Flörke, M., Huang, S., Motovilov, Y., Buda, S., Yang, T., Müller, C., Leng, G., Tang, Q., Portmann, F., Hagemann, S., Gerten, D., Wada, Y., Masaki, Y., Alemayehu, T., …Samaniego, L. (2017). Cross‐scale intercomparison of climate change impacts simulated by regional and global hydrological models in eleven large river basins. Climatic Change, 141(3), 561-576. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-016-1829-4

Ideally, the results from models operating at different scales should agree in trend direction and magnitude of impacts under climate change. However, this implies that the sensitivity to climate variability and climate change is comparable for impac...

C/N ratios and carbon isotope composition of organic matter in estuarine environments (2017)
Book Chapter
Leng, M. J., & Lewis, J. P. (2017). C/N ratios and carbon isotope composition of organic matter in estuarine environments. In K. Weckström, K. Saunders, P. Gell, & G. Skilbeck (Eds.), Applications of Paleoenvironmental Techniques in Estuarine Studies. Springer Netherlands. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-024-0990-1_9

The sediments that are preserved in estuarine environments (saltmarsh, riverine estuaries, mangrove habitats, lagoons, isolation basins and fjords) contain organic matter that allows investigation of the provenance of that material. These data can th... Read More about C/N ratios and carbon isotope composition of organic matter in estuarine environments.
