Developing predictive equations to model the visual demand of in-vehicle touchscreen HMIs (2017)
Journal Article

Touchscreen HMIs are commonly employed as the primary control interface and touch-point of vehicles. However, there has been very little theoretical work to model the demand associated with such devices in the automotive domain. Instead, touchscreen...

Quality not quantity: organic matter composition controls of CO?and CH?fluxes in neotropical peat profiles (2016)
Journal Article

Tropical peatlands represent an important source of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) to the atmosphere. However, we do not know where in the peat profile these gases are produced and how controlling factors, such as substrate quality, which can...

A driving simulator study to explore the effects of text size on the visual demand of in-vehicle displays (2016)
Journal Article

Modern vehicles increasingly utilise a large display within the centre console, often with touchscreen capability, to enable access to a wide range of driving and non-driving-related functionality. The text provided on such displays can vary consider... Read More about A driving simulator study to explore the effects of text size on the visual demand of in-vehicle displays.

Crowdsourcing good landmarks for in-vehicle navigation systems (2016)
Journal Article

Augmenting navigation systems with landmarks has been posited as a method of improving the effectiveness of the technology and enhancing drivers’ engagement with the environment. However, good navigational landmarks are both laborious to collect and... Read More about Crowdsourcing good landmarks for in-vehicle navigation systems.

Driving without wings: the effect of different digital mirror locations on the visual behaviour, performance and opinions of drivers (2016)
Journal Article

Drivers' awareness of the rearward road scene is critical when contemplating or executing lane-change manoeuvres, such as overtaking. Preliminary investigations have speculated on the use of rear-facing cameras to relay images to displays mounted ins...

Coal-derived rates of atmospheric dust deposition during the Permian (2015)
Journal Article

Despite widespread evidence for atmospheric dust deposition prior to the Quaternary, quantitative rate data remains sparse. As dust influences both climate and biological productivity, the absence of quantitative dust data limits the comprehensivenes...
