The prospectivity of a potential shale gas play: An example from the southern Pennine Basin (central England, UK) (2017)
Journal Article
Hennissen, J. A., Hough, E., Vane, C. H., Leng, M. J., Kemp, S. J., & Stephenson, M. H. (in press). The prospectivity of a potential shale gas play: An example from the southern Pennine Basin (central England, UK). Marine and Petroleum Geology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marpetgeo.2017.06.033

During the Serpukhovian (late Mississippian) Stage, the Pennine Basin, now underlying much of northern England, consisted of a series of interlinked sub-basins that developed in response to the crustal extension north of the Hercynic orogenic zone. F... Read More about The prospectivity of a potential shale gas play: An example from the southern Pennine Basin (central England, UK).

State rescaling, policy experimentation and path dependency in post-Mao China: a dynamic analytical framework (2017)
Journal Article
Lim, K. F. (in press). State rescaling, policy experimentation and path dependency in post-Mao China: a dynamic analytical framework. Regional Studies, 51(10), https://doi.org/10.1080/00343404.2017.1330539

This paper evaluates the applicability of the state rescaling framework for framing politico-economic evolution in China. It then presents an analytical framework that examines institutional change as driven by the dynamic entwinement of state rescal...

Human–nature connection: a multidisciplinary review (2017)
Journal Article
Ives, C. D., Giusti, M., Fischer, J., Abson, D. J., Klaniecki, K., Dorninger, C., Laudan, J., Barthel, S., Abernethy, P., Martín-López, B., Raymond, C. M., Kendal, D., & Von Wehrden, H. (2017). Human–nature connection: a multidisciplinary review. Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability, 26-27, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cosust.2017.05.005

In sustainability science calls are increasing for humanity to (re-)connect with nature, yet no systematic synthesis of the empirical literature on human–nature connection (HNC) exists. We reviewed 475 publications on HNC and found that most research... Read More about Human–nature connection: a multidisciplinary review.

Water scarcity hotspots travel downstream due to human interventions in the 20th and 21st century (2017)
Journal Article
Veldkamp, T., Wada, Y., Aerts, J., Döll, P., Gosling, S. N., Liu, J., Masaki, Y., Oki, T., Ostberg, S., Pokhrel, Y., Satoh, Y., Kim, H., & Ward, P. J. (in press). Water scarcity hotspots travel downstream due to human interventions in the 20th and 21st century. Nature Communications, 8, Article 15697. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms15697

Water scarcity is rapidly increasing in many regions. In a novel, multi-model assessment, we examine how human interventions (HI: land use and land cover change, man-made reservoirs and human water use) affected monthly river water availability and w...

The crime of choice: abortion border crossings from Chile to Peru (2017)
Journal Article
Freeman, C. (in press). The crime of choice: abortion border crossings from Chile to Peru. Gender, Place and Culture, 24(6), https://doi.org/10.1080/0966369X.2017.1339020

Since 1989 abortion in Chile has been illegal in every single circumstance. This means that tens of thousands of women every year undergo clandestine abortions at great risk to their health. Class directly influences Chilean women’s relationships to... Read More about The crime of choice: abortion border crossings from Chile to Peru.

Functional attributes of epilithic diatoms for palaeoenvironmental interpretations in South-West Greenland lakes (2017)
Journal Article
McGowan, S., Gunn, H. V., Whiteford, E. J., Anderson, N. J., Jones, V. J., & Law, A. C. (in press). Functional attributes of epilithic diatoms for palaeoenvironmental interpretations in South-West Greenland lakes. Journal of Paleolimnology, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-017-9968-9

Benthic diatoms are commonly used for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction in Arctic regions, but interpretation of their ecology remains challenging. We studied epilithic diatom assemblages from the shallow margins of 19 lakes from three areas (coast-...

Existing frameworks for analysing interactions between social and natural systems (e.g. Social-Ecological Systems framework, Ecosystem Services concept) do not sufficiently consider and operationalize the dynamic interactions between people's values,...
