Dairy slurry is a major source of environmental contamination with antimicrobial resistant genes and bacteria. We developed mathematical models and conducted on-farm research to explore the impact of wastewater flows and management practices on antim...

This article uses the records the Manvers and Portland estates in Nottinghamshire and north-east Derbyshire to consider the provision and management of licensed premises between the 1860s and 1930s. Using archival materials of land agents and solicit... Read More about Landed estates and the place of public houses: Agricultural and industrial change in the English East Midlands, c.1860–1930.

The Need to Consider Food Systems in Health-Oriented Food Policy and Programs (2024)
Journal Article
Higgins, A. K. (2024). The Need to Consider Food Systems in Health-Oriented Food Policy and Programs. Current Developments in Nutrition, 8(6), Article 103775. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cdnut.2024.103775

Produce prescription programs (PPPs) are place-based interventions at the intersection of public health and local food advocacy. These programs have expanded significantly across the United States since 2010, particularly taking off in the state of W...

Future malaria environmental suitability in Africa is sensitive to hydrology (2024)
Journal Article
Smith, M. W., Willis, T., Mroz, E., James, W. H., Klaar, M. J., Gosling, S. N., & Thomas, C. J. (2024). Future malaria environmental suitability in Africa is sensitive to hydrology. Science, 384(6696), 697-703. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.adk8755

Changes in climate shift the geographic locations that are suitable for malaria transmission because of the thermal constraints on vector Anopheles mosquitos and Plasmodium spp. malaria parasites and the lack of availability of surface water for vect...

Beyond the Walls: Patterns of Child Labour, Forced Labour, and Exploitation in a New Domestic Workers Dataset (2024)
Journal Article
Trodd, Z., Waite, C., Goulding, J., & Boyd, D. S. (2024). Beyond the Walls: Patterns of Child Labour, Forced Labour, and Exploitation in a New Domestic Workers Dataset. Societies, 14(5), Article 62. https://doi.org/10.3390/soc14050062

The new Domestic Workers Dataset is the largest single set of surveys (n = 11,759) of domestic workers to date. Our analysis of this dataset reveals features about the lives and work of this “hard-to-find” population in India—a country estimated to h...

From novel ecosystems to novel natures (2024)
Journal Article
Montana, J., Heger, T., Kelz, R., Bischoff, A., Buitenwerf, R., Eser, U., Kung, K., Sattler, J., Schweiger, A. H., Searle, A., Teixeira, L. H., Travassos-Britto, B., & Higgs, E. (2024). From novel ecosystems to novel natures. GAiA - Ecological Perspectives for Science and Society, 33(1), 146-151. https://doi.org/10.14512/gaia.33.1.6

Ecologists, particularly restoration ecologists, were early to recognise the challenges of historically unprecedented combinations of species and abiotic conditions brought about by human intervention. However, to date, this ecological understanding... Read More about From novel ecosystems to novel natures.

Extreme Outrageous And (Un)reliable Navigating Uncertainty In The Development Of Sound-based Fog Signals In Scotland 1860 -1900 (2024)
Journal Article
Dishington, R. (in press). Extreme Outrageous And (Un)reliable Navigating Uncertainty In The Development Of Sound-based Fog Signals In Scotland 1860 -1900. Technology and Culture,

In the late nineteenth century, engineers at Scotland’s Northern Lighthouse Board developed and managed an increasingly complex network of sound-based fog signals. From only five bell signals in 1873, the Scottish network grew to thirty-seven sound s...

Unoccupied aerial vehicles as a tool to map lizard operative temperature in tropical environments (2024)
Journal Article
Higgins, E. A., Boyd, D. S., Brown, T. W., Owen, S. C., van der Heijden, G. M. F., & Algar, A. C. (2024). Unoccupied aerial vehicles as a tool to map lizard operative temperature in tropical environments. Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, https://doi.org/10.1002/rse2.393

To understand how ectotherms will respond to warming temperatures, we require information on thermal habitat quality at spatial resolutions and extents relevant to the organism. Measuring thermal habitat quality is either limited to small spatial ext... Read More about Unoccupied aerial vehicles as a tool to map lizard operative temperature in tropical environments.

InSAR-measured permafrost degradation of palsa peatlands in northern Sweden (2024)
Journal Article
Valman, S., Siewert, M. B., Boyd, D., Ledger, M., Gee, D., de la Barreda-Bautista, B., Sowter, A., & Sjögersten, S. (2024). InSAR-measured permafrost degradation of palsa peatlands in northern Sweden. Cryosphere, 18(4), 1773-1790. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-18-1773-2024

Climate warming is degrading palsa peatlands across the circumpolar permafrost region. Permafrost degradation may lead to ecosystem collapse and potentially strong climate feedbacks, as this ecosystem is an important carbon store and can transition t...
