Exploring the spatialities of technological and user re-scripting: the case of decision support tools in UK agriculture (2018)
Journal Article
Rose, D. C., Morris, C., Lobley, M., Winter, M., Sutherland, W. J., & Dicks, L. V. (2018). Exploring the spatialities of technological and user re-scripting: the case of decision support tools in UK agriculture. Geoforum, 89, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2017.12.006

The use of decision support tools on-farm may help to deliver evidence-based guidance to farmers, helping to improve productivity and prevent environmental degradation. While much research has sought to increase the uptake of decision support tools i...

"Live” (stained) benthic foraminiferal living depths, stable isotopes, and taxonomy offshore South Georgia, Southern Ocean: implications for calcification depths (2018)
Journal Article
Dejardin, R., Kender, S., Allen, C. S., Leng, M. J., Swann, G. E., & Peck, V. L. (2018). "Live” (stained) benthic foraminiferal living depths, stable isotopes, and taxonomy offshore South Georgia, Southern Ocean: implications for calcification depths. Journal of Micropalaeontology, 37(1), 25-71. https://doi.org/10.5194/jm-37-25-2018

It is widely held that benthic foraminifera exhibit species-specific calcification depth preferences, with their tests recording sediment pore water chemistry at that depth (i.e. stable isotope and trace metal compositions). This assumed depth habita...

Changing climates affect human societies differently depending on societal structures, cultural perceptions and their relative vulnerability and resilience. In this study, we explore the complex relationship between climate, conflict and society in n...
