Antimicrobial resistance in dairy slurry tanks: a critical point for measurement and control. Environment International, 169, Article 107516. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2022.107516

Waste from dairy production is one of the largest sources of contamination from antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ARB) and genes (ARGs) in many parts of the world. However, studies to date do not provide necessary evidence to inform antimicrobial res...

Anthropause environmentalisms: Noticing natures with the Self‐Isolating Bird Club (2022)
Journal Article
Turnbull, J., Searle, A., & Lorimer, J. (2023). Anthropause environmentalisms: Noticing natures with the Self‐Isolating Bird Club. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 48(2), 232-248. https://doi.org/10.1111/tran.12569

This paper offers a detailed empirical account of how human–environment relations were reconfigured in the UK and Ireland during the 2020–2021 COVID‐19 lockdowns, a period which natural scientists defined as the COVID‐19 Anthropause. Bringing this sc... Read More about Anthropause environmentalisms: Noticing natures with the Self‐Isolating Bird Club.

In flux: Annual transport and deposition of suspended heavy metals and trace elements in the urbanised, tropical Red River Delta, Vietnam (2022)
Journal Article
Roberts, L. R., Do, N. T., Panizzo, V. N., Taylor, S., Watts, M., Hamilton, E., …Salgado, J. (2022). In flux: Annual transport and deposition of suspended heavy metals and trace elements in the urbanised, tropical Red River Delta, Vietnam. Water Research, 224, Article 119053. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2022.119053

Due to the depositional environment, river deltas are said to act as filters and sinks for pollutants. However, many deltas are also densely populated and rapidly urbanizing, creating new and increased sources of pollutants. These sources pose the ri...

Identification of Thermal Refuges and Water Temperature Patterns in Salmonid-Bearing Subarctic Rivers of Northern Quebec (2022)
Journal Article
Fakhari, M., Raymond, J., Martel, R., Dugdale, S. J., & Bergeron, N. (2022). Identification of Thermal Refuges and Water Temperature Patterns in Salmonid-Bearing Subarctic Rivers of Northern Quebec. Geographies, 2(3), 528-548. https://doi.org/10.3390/geographies2030032

In summer, salmonids can experience thermal stress during extreme weather conditions. This may affect their growth and even threaten their survival. Cool water zones in rivers constitute thermal refuges, allowing fish to be more comfortable to grow a...

Global patterns of vascular plant alpha diversity (2022)
Journal Article
Sabatini, F. M., Jiménez-Alfaro, B., Jandt, U., Chytrý, M., Field, R., Kessler, M., …Bruelheide, H. (2022). Global patterns of vascular plant alpha diversity. Nature Communications, 13(1), Article 4683. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-022-32063-z

Global patterns of regional (gamma) plant diversity are relatively well known, but whether these patterns hold for local communities, and the dependence on spatial grain, remain controversial. Using data on 170,272 georeferenced local plant assemblag... Read More about Global patterns of vascular plant alpha diversity.

Tracking the spread of Covid-19 (2022)
Journal Article
Smallman-Raynor, M., & Jewitt, S. (2022). Tracking the spread of Covid-19. Geography Review Magazine, 36(1), 26-30

Communicable diseases are capitalising on our highly connected world to spread as global pandemics. COVID-19 is the most recent example. This article tracks the early stages of the global diffusion of the COVID-19 pandemic, and assesses its rate of s... Read More about Tracking the spread of Covid-19.

The digital peregrine: A technonatural history of a cosmopolitan raptor (2022)
Journal Article
Searle, A., Turnbull, J., & Adams, W. M. (2023). The digital peregrine: A technonatural history of a cosmopolitan raptor. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 48(1), 195-212. https://doi.org/10.1111/tran.12566

Humans, non-human animals, and technologies are increasingly entangled. Using the peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus) as an illustrative example, we propose ‘technonatural history’ as a theoretical and methodological approach for observing, describin...

Activating faith: pro-environmental responses to a Christian text on sustainability (2022)
Journal Article
Ives, C. D., Buys, C., Ogunbode, C., Palmer, M., Rose, A., & Valerio, R. (2022). Activating faith: pro-environmental responses to a Christian text on sustainability. Sustainability Science, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11625-022-01197-w

With growing attention on the importance of values, beliefs and worldviews in shaping environmental outcomes, there remains little research on religion and sustainability transformations. We explored the impact of the Archbishop of Canterbury’s envir... Read More about Activating faith: pro-environmental responses to a Christian text on sustainability.

Widespread occurrence of microplastics in marine bays with diverse drivers and environmental risk (2022)
Journal Article
Liu, D., Guo, Z. F., Xu, Y. Y., Ka Shun Chan, F., Xu, Y. Y., Johnson, M., & Zhu, Y. G. (2022). Widespread occurrence of microplastics in marine bays with diverse drivers and environmental risk. Environment International, 168, Article 107483. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envint.2022.107483

Microplastic contamination in the sediment of marine bays has attracted widespread attention, whereas the distribution, sedimentation, morphology and risk of microplastics at regional scale remain poorly understood. By introducing a data mining frame... Read More about Widespread occurrence of microplastics in marine bays with diverse drivers and environmental risk.
