Green infrastructure: The future of urban flood risk management? (2021)
Journal Article
Green, D., O'Donnell, E., Johnson, M., Slater, L., Thorne, C., Zheng, S., …Boothroyd, R. J. (2021). Green infrastructure: The future of urban flood risk management?. Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 8(6), Article e1560. https://doi.org/10.1002/wat2.1560

Urban flooding is a key global challenge which is expected to become exacerbated under global change due to more intense rainfall and flashier runoff regimes over increasingly urban landscapes. Consequently, many cities are rethinking their approach... Read More about Green infrastructure: The future of urban flood risk management?.

Microplastic pollution in Chinese urban rivers: The influence of urban factors (2021)
Journal Article
Xu, Y., Chan, F. K. S., Johnson, M., Stanton, T., He, J., Jia, T., …Yu, X. (2021). Microplastic pollution in Chinese urban rivers: The influence of urban factors. Resources, Conservation and Recycling, 173, Article 105686. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.resconrec.2021.105686

Microplastics are being widely discussed as an emerging global environmental contaminant. Microplastic pollution usually originates from land-based sources, which are then mainly transported through hydrological and atmospheric pathways and accumulat...

Values influence public perceptions of flood management schemes (2021)
Journal Article
D'Souza, M., Johnson, M. F., & Ives, C. D. (2021). Values influence public perceptions of flood management schemes. Journal of Environmental Management, 291, Article 112636. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112636

Natural Flood Management (NFM) is now well established as a paradigm for reducing flood risk. It is characterised by adopting a catchment-wide hydrological perspective and implementing solutions that work with natural processes such as wetlands, ripa...

Microplastic pollution of freshwaters is known to be a great concern in China and these pollutants can be discharged into the coastal environment through fluvial processes, posing threats to the global marine ecosystem. This paper reviewed the litera... Read More about Synthesis of dominant plastic microfibre prevalence and pollution control feasibility in Chinese freshwater environments.
