The effect of small-scale topography on patterns of endemism within islands (2019)
Journal Article
Cutts, V., Katal, N., Löwer, C., Algar, A. C., Steinbauer, M. J., Irl, S. D., Beierkuhnlein, C., & Field, R. (2019). The effect of small-scale topography on patterns of endemism within islands. Frontiers of Biogeography, 11(4), Article e43737. https://doi.org/10.21425/F5FBG43737

Topography influences evolutionary and ecological processes by isolating populations and by enhancing habitat diversity. While the effects of large-scale topography on patterns of species richness and endemism are increasingly well documented, the di...

Processes of ‘hummocky moraine’ formation in the Gaick, Scotland: insights into the ice‐marginal dynamics of a Younger Dryas plateau icefield (2019)
Journal Article
Chandler, B. M., Lukas, S., & Boston, C. M. (2020). Processes of ‘hummocky moraine’ formation in the Gaick, Scotland: insights into the ice‐marginal dynamics of a Younger Dryas plateau icefield. Boreas, 49(2), 248-268. https://doi.org/10.1111/bor.12426

Younger Dryas ice-marginal (‘hummocky’) moraines in Scotland represent valuable terrestrial archives that can be used to obtain important information on ice-marginal dynamics and glacier thermal regimes during a period of rapid climatic change. In th... Read More about Processes of ‘hummocky moraine’ formation in the Gaick, Scotland: insights into the ice‐marginal dynamics of a Younger Dryas plateau icefield.

Use of Surface Motion Characteristics Determined by InSAR to Assess Peatland Condition (2019)
Journal Article
Alshammari, L., Boyd, D. S., Sowter, A., Marshall, C., Andersen, R., Gilbert, P., Marsh, S., & Large, D. J. (2020). Use of Surface Motion Characteristics Determined by InSAR to Assess Peatland Condition. Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, 125(1), Article e2018JG004953. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018JG004953

Peatland surface motion is a key property of peatland that relates to condition. However, field‐based techniques to measure surface motion are not cost‐effective over large areas and long time periods. An alternative method that can quantify peatland...

Historical Everyday Geopolitics on the Chile-Peru Border (2019)
Journal Article
Freeman, C. (2020). Historical Everyday Geopolitics on the Chile-Peru Border. Bulletin of Latin American Research, 39(4), 439-452. https://doi.org/10.1111/blar.13067

Geopolitics is increasingly seen by scholars as occurring in everyday spaces and performed by ordinary people. This paper extends this idea to historical work to examine how citizens themselves (re)produce geopolitics at the time of historical events...

Filming female desire: queering the gaze of pop music videos (2019)
Journal Article
Freeman, C. (2020). Filming female desire: queering the gaze of pop music videos. Cultural Studies, 34(6), 1007-1032. https://doi.org/10.1080/09502386.2019.1704039

This paper examines the queer gaze within pop music videos. It contends that the contemporary US musician Hayley Kiyoko can be seen as a queer music video auteur who has transformed what the ‘gaze’ can mean in mainstream pop music through directing h...
