Can ?18O help indicate the causes of recent lake area expansion on the western Tibetan Plateau? A case study from Aweng Co (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, Springer Nature B.V. Glacier-fed lakes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) have undergone rapid expansions since the late 1990s, concurrent with the changing climate. However, the dominant cause(s) of lake area increases is still debated. To identify... Read More about Can ?18O help indicate the causes of recent lake area expansion on the western Tibetan Plateau?

Evaluation of the effectiveness, implementation and cost-effectiveness of the Stay One Step Ahead home safety promotion intervention for pre-school children: a study protocol (2020)
Journal Article

Background: Unintentional injuries in children under the age of 5 years commonly occur in the home and disproportionately affect those living in disadvantaged circumstances. Targeted home safety promotion should be offered to families most at risk bu...

A randomised feasibility study assessing an intervention to keep adults physically active after falls management exercise programmes end (2020)
Journal Article

Background: Physical inactivity contributes to disability and falls in older adults. Falls prevention exercise (FaME) programmes improve physical activity, physical function and reduce falling rates. Improvements in physical function reduce, and fall...

The Iso2k Database: A global compilation of paleo-δ18O and δ2H records to aid understanding of Common Era climate (2020)
Working Paper

Reconstructions of global hydroclimate during the Common Era (CE; the past ~ 2000 years) are important for providing context for current and future global environmental change. Stable isotope ratios in water are quantitative indicators of hydroclimat...

A major hydrobiological change in Dasht-e Arjan Wetland (SW Iran) during the late glacial-early Holocene transition revealed by subfossil chironomids (2019)
Journal Article

The late glacial-early Holocene transition is a key period in the Earth’s history. However, although this transition is well studied in Europe, it is not well constrained in the Middle East and palaeohydrological records with robust chronologies rema...

20,000 years of societal vulnerability and adaptation to climate change in southwest Asia (2019)
Journal Article

The Fertile Crescent, its hilly flanks and surrounding drylands has been a critical region for studying how climate has influenced societal change, and this review focuses on the region over the last 20,000 years. The complex social, economic and env... Read More about 20,000 years of societal vulnerability and adaptation to climate change in southwest Asia.

A 6,000-year record of environmental change from the eastern Pacific margin of central Mexico (2018)
Journal Article

The transition from the mid- to late-Holocene in MesoAmerica saw increasing complexity in spatial patterns of change. Records from the western part of the region are sparse, with lacustrine sequences affected by long term anthropogenic disturbance or...

Global-scale proxy system modeling of oxygen isotopes in lacustrine carbonates: 2 new insights from isotope-enabled-model proxy-data comparison (2018)
Journal Article

Proxy System Modelling (PSM) is now recognised as a crucial step in comparing climate model output with proxy records of past environmental change. PSMs filter the climate signal from the model, or from meteorological data, based on the physical, che...

A dynamic, modifiable model for estimating cost-effectiveness of smoking cessation interventions in pregnancy: application to an RCT of self-help delivered by text message (2018)
Journal Article

Background/Aims: Previous evaluations of smoking cessation interventions in pregnancy have several limitations. Our solution to these limitations is the Economics of Smoking in Pregnancy (ESIP) model which estimates the lifetime cost-effectiveness of...

Quantitative reconstruction of early Holocene ad last glacial climate on the Balkan Peninsula using coupled hydrlogical and isotope mass balance modelling (2018)
Journal Article

We investigate the modern hydrology of Lake Ohrid (Macedonia/Albania) using a combined hydrological and isotope-based modelling approach and present a new evaluation of contemporary water balance and palaeoclimate estimates. The combined model is ab...
