DAMP: a protocol for contextualising goodness-of-fit statistics in sediment-discharge data-driven modelling (2011)
Journal Article

The decision sequence which guides the selection of a preferred data-driven modelling solution is usually based solely on statistical assessment of fit to a test dataset, and lacks the incorporation of essential contextual knowledge and understanding...

Servicing the super-rich: new financial elites and the rise of the private wealth management retail ecology (2011)
Journal Article

The ways in which individuals' everyday lives have become increasingly tied into the international financial system has become a widely studied dimension of research on financialization. However, the ways in which financial elites consume financial s... Read More about Servicing the super-rich: new financial elites and the rise of the private wealth management retail ecology.

The benefits of quantifying climate model uncertainty in climate change impacts assessment: An example with heat-related mortality change estimates (2011)
Journal Article

The majority of climate change impacts assessments account for climate change uncertainty by adopting the scenario-based approach. This typically involves assessing the impacts for a small number of emissions scenarios but neglecting the role of clim...

Towards corporate professionalization: The case of project management, management consultancy and executive search (2011)
Journal Article

This article explores patterns of professionalization in a number of 'new' knowledge-based occupations: management consultancy, project management and executive headhunters. Against a general assumption in the literature that such occupations are unw...

Trans-local academic credentials and the (re)production of financial elites (2011)
Journal Article

This paper examines the ways in which credentials from a range of education providers are used to (re)produce transnational financial elites in London's international financial district. Extant research has examined the long-standing relationship bet... Read More about Trans-local academic credentials and the (re)production of financial elites.

A review of recent developments in climate change science. Part I: Understanding of future change in the large-scale climate system (2011)
Journal Article

Geographies of money and finance II: Financialization and financial subjects (2011)
Journal Article

In this report, I examine the growing interest in financial subjects within economic geography and the wider social sciences. I begin by locating this literature within work on financialization and earlier geographical research on money and finance....

Poo gurus? Researching the threats and opportunities presented by human waste (2011)
Journal Article

There is huge geographical variation in the extent to which excrement represents a threat to human and environmental health. In the UK, we tend to think little of such risks. By contrast, 52% of all people in Asia have no access to basic sanitation a... Read More about Poo gurus? Researching the threats and opportunities presented by human waste.

Journal Article

Simulating current global river runoff with a global hydrological model: Model revisions, validation, and sensitivity analysis (2011)
Journal Article

Global hydrological models (GHMs) model the land surface hydrologic dynamics of continental-scale river basins. Here we describe one such GHM, the Macro-scale-Probability-Distributed Moisture model.09 (Mac-PDM.09). The model has undergone a number of...

Geographies of shit: spatial and temporal variations in attitudes towards human waste (2011)
Journal Article

Taboos surrounding human waste have resulted in a lack of attention to spatial inequalities in access to sanitation and the consequences of this for human, environmental and economic health. This paper explores spaces where urgent environmental healt... Read More about Geographies of shit: spatial and temporal variations in attitudes towards human waste.
