Constraints and potentials of future irrigation water availability on agricultural production under climate change (2013)
Journal Article
Elliott, J., Deryng, D., Müller, C., Frieler, K., Konzmann, M., Gerten, D., …Wisser, D. (2014). Constraints and potentials of future irrigation water availability on agricultural production under climate change. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(9), 3239-3244. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1222474110

We compare ensembles of water supply and demand projections from 10 global hydrological models and six global gridded crop models. These are produced as part of the Inter-Sectoral Impacts Model Intercomparison Project, with coordination from the Agri...

Multimodel assessment of water scarcity under climate change (2013)
Journal Article
Schewe, J., Heinke, J., Gerten, D., Haddeland, I., Arnell, N. W., Clark, D. B., …Kabat, P. (2014). Multimodel assessment of water scarcity under climate change. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(9), 3245-3250. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1222460110

Water scarcity severely impairs food security and economic prosperity in many countries today. Expected future population changes will, in many countries as well as globally, increase the pressure on available water resources. On the supply side, ren...

Multisectoral climate impact hotspots in a warming world (2013)
Journal Article
Piontek, F., Müller, C., Pugh, T. A., Clark, D. B., Deryng, D., Elliott, J., …Schellnhuber, H. J. (2014). Multisectoral climate impact hotspots in a warming world. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 111(9), 3233-3238. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1222471110

The impacts of global climate change on different aspects of humanity's diverse life-support systems are complex and often difficult to predict. To facilitate policy decisions on mitigation and adaptation strategies, it is necessary to understand, qu... Read More about Multisectoral climate impact hotspots in a warming world.

Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico (2013)
Journal Article
Felstead, N. J., Gonzalez, S., Huddart, D., Noble, S. R., Hoffmann, D. L., Metcalfe, S. E., …Jimenez-Lopez, J. C. (2014). Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico. Journal of Archaeological Science, 42, 250-259. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2013.11.010

Two sets of well-preserved human footprints have been found in tufa sediments in the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico, and here we present their U-series dates of 10.55±0.03ka and 7.24±0.13ka. The former are the oldest known footprints in Mexico, alth... Read More about Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico.

The practice and poetics of fieldwork: Hugh Cott and the study of camouflage (2013)
Journal Article
Forsyth, I. (2014). The practice and poetics of fieldwork: Hugh Cott and the study of camouflage. Journal of Historical Geography, 43, 128-137. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhg.2013.10.002

This paper examines the practice and poetics of the British zoologist Hugh Cott's fieldwork in order to explore the hybrid nature of developments in biological and military camouflage. Specifically focusing on two fieldtrips conducted to the Amazon a... Read More about The practice and poetics of fieldwork: Hugh Cott and the study of camouflage.

Bayesian networks for raster data (BayNeRD): plausible reasoning from observations (2013)

Rating crowdsourced annotations: evaluating contributions of variable quality and completeness (2013)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M. (2014). Rating crowdsourced annotations: evaluating contributions of variable quality and completeness. International Journal of Digital Earth, 7(8), 650-670. https://doi.org/10.1080/17538947.2013.839008

Crowdsourcing has become a popular means to acquire data about the Earth and its environment inexpensively, but the data-sets obtained are typically imperfect and of unknown quality. Two common imperfections with crowdsourced data are the contributio... Read More about Rating crowdsourced annotations: evaluating contributions of variable quality and completeness.

Trauma-Related Mortality among Adults in Rural Western Kenya: Characterising Deaths Using Data from a Health and Demographic Surveillance System (2013)
Journal Article
Odhiambo, F. O., Beynon, C. M., Ogwang, S., Hamel, M. J., Howland, O., van Eijk, A. M., …Phillips-Howard, P. A. (2013). Trauma-Related Mortality among Adults in Rural Western Kenya: Characterising Deaths Using Data from a Health and Demographic Surveillance System. PLoS ONE, 8(11), Article e79840. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0079840

Background Information on trauma-related deaths in low and middle income countries is limited but needed to target public health interventions. Data from a health and demographic surveillance system (HDSS) were examined to characterise such deaths i...

Global multimodel analysis of drought in runofffor the second half of the twentieth century (2013)
Journal Article
van Huijgevoort, M., Hazenberg, P., van Lanen, H., Teuling, A., Clark, D., Folwell, S., …Uijlenhoet, R. (2013). Global multimodel analysis of drought in runofffor the second half of the twentieth century. Journal of Hydrometeorology, 14(5), 1535-1552. https://doi.org/10.1175/JHM-D-12-0186.1

During the past decades large-scale models have been developed to simulate global and continental terrestrial water cycles. It is an open question whether these models are suitable to capture hydrological drought, in terms of runoff, on a global scal...
