Climate variability and implications for keeping rivers cool in England (2020)
Journal Article
Wilby, R., & Johnson, M. (2020). Climate variability and implications for keeping rivers cool in England. Climate Risk Management, 30, Article 100259. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.crm.2020.100259

Water temperature (Tw) is a primary determinant of river ecosystem health and function that is strongly controlled by climate variability and change but mediated by catchment properties. We apply a nested analysis to: (1) evaluate how annual and seas... Read More about Climate variability and implications for keeping rivers cool in England.

A critical review of microplastic pollution in urban freshwater environments and legislative progress in China: recommendations and insights (2020)
Journal Article
Xu, Y., Ka Shun Chan, F., He, J., Johnson, M., Gibbins, C., Kay, P., …Zhu, Y.-G. (2021). A critical review of microplastic pollution in urban freshwater environments and legislative progress in China: recommendations and insights. Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology, 51(22), 2637-2680. https://doi.org/10.1080/10643389.2020.1801308

Freshwater systems are vitally important, supporting diversity and providing a range of ecosystem services. In China, rapid urbanization (over 800 million urban population) has led to multiple anthropogenic pressures that threaten urban freshwater en...

Freshwater microplastic concentrations vary through both space and time (2020)
Journal Article
Stanton, T., Johnson, M., Nathanail, P., MacNaughtan, W., & Gomes, R. L. (2020). Freshwater microplastic concentrations vary through both space and time. Environmental Pollution, 263, Article 114481. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2020.114481

Plastic pollution represents one of the most salient indicators of society’s impact on the environment. The microplastic component of this is ubiquitous, however, microplastic studies are seldom representative of the locations they sample. Over 12 mo...

Characterising the geomorphological and physicochemical effects of water injection dredging on estuarine systems (2020)
Journal Article
Pledger, A., Johnson, M., Brewin, P., Phillips, J., Martin, S., & Yu, D. (2020). Characterising the geomorphological and physicochemical effects of water injection dredging on estuarine systems. Journal of Environmental Management, 261, Article 110259. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2020.110259

Dredging is a globally important aquatic system management activity, used for navigation improvement, contamination removal, aggregate production and/or flood risk mitigation. Despite widespread application, understanding of the environmental effects...
