Pore Structure-Transport Relationships in Bowland Shale (2022)
Book Chapter
Pitcher, E. G., Fletcher, R. S., Large, D. J., & Rigby, S. P. (2023). Pore Structure-Transport Relationships in Bowland Shale. In The Bowland Shale Formation, UK: Processes and Resources. Geological Society. https://doi.org/10.1144/sp534-2021-97

Shale rocks are highly structurally and chemically heterogeneous, such that the pore structure-transport relationship is complex. Shales typically have porosity over many length-scales from the molecular up to macroscopic fractures. This work utilize... Read More about Pore Structure-Transport Relationships in Bowland Shale.

Effects of Wording and Gendered Voices on Acceptability of Voice Assistants in Future Autonomous Vehicles (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Jestin, I., Fischer, J., Galvez Trigo, M. J., Large, D. R., & Burnett, G. (2022). Effects of Wording and Gendered Voices on Acceptability of Voice Assistants in Future Autonomous Vehicles. In CUI '22: Proceedings of the 4th Conference on Conversational User Interfaces (1-11). https://doi.org/10.1145/3543829.3543836

Voice assistants in future autonomous vehicles may play a major role in supporting the driver during periods of a transfer of control with the vehicle (handover and handback). However, little is known about the effects of different qualities of the v...

Identification of typical ecohydrological behaviours using InSAR allows landscape-scale mapping of peatland condition (2022)
Journal Article
Bradley, A. V., Andersen, R., Marshall, C., Sowter, A., & Large, D. J. (2022). Identification of typical ecohydrological behaviours using InSAR allows landscape-scale mapping of peatland condition. Earth Surface Dynamics, 10(2), 261-277. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-10-261-2022

Better tools for rapid and reliable assessment of global peatland extent and condition are urgently needed to support action to prevent further decline of peatlands. Peatland surface motion is a response to changes in the water and gas content of a p...

Multiscale Variability and the Comparison of Ground and Satellite Radar Based Measures of Peatland Surface Motion for Peatland Monitoring (2022)
Journal Article
Marshall, C., Sterk, H. P., Gilbert, P. J., Andersen, R., Bradley, A. V., Sowter, A., …Large, D. J. (2022). Multiscale Variability and the Comparison of Ground and Satellite Radar Based Measures of Peatland Surface Motion for Peatland Monitoring. Remote Sensing, 14(2), Article 336. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs14020336

Peatland surface motion is highly diagnostic of peatland condition. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) can measure this at the landscape scale but requires ground validation. This necessitates upscaling from point to areal measures (80...
