Multisectoral climate impact hotspots in a warming world (2013)
Journal Article

The impacts of global climate change on different aspects of humanity's diverse life-support systems are complex and often difficult to predict. To facilitate policy decisions on mitigation and adaptation strategies, it is necessary to understand, qu... Read More about Multisectoral climate impact hotspots in a warming world.

Multimodel assessment of water scarcity under climate change (2013)
Journal Article

Water scarcity severely impairs food security and economic prosperity in many countries today. Expected future population changes will, in many countries as well as globally, increase the pressure on available water resources. On the supply side, ren...

Constraints and potentials of future irrigation water availability on agricultural production under climate change (2013)
Journal Article

We compare ensembles of water supply and demand projections from 10 global hydrological models and six global gridded crop models. These are produced as part of the Inter-Sectoral Impacts Model Intercomparison Project, with coordination from the Agri...

Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico (2013)
Journal Article

Two sets of well-preserved human footprints have been found in tufa sediments in the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico, and here we present their U-series dates of 10.55±0.03ka and 7.24±0.13ka. The former are the oldest known footprints in Mexico, alth... Read More about Holocene-aged human footprints from the Cuatrociénegas Basin, NE Mexico.

The practice and poetics of fieldwork: Hugh Cott and the study of camouflage (2013)
Journal Article

This paper examines the practice and poetics of the British zoologist Hugh Cott's fieldwork in order to explore the hybrid nature of developments in biological and military camouflage. Specifically focusing on two fieldtrips conducted to the Amazon a... Read More about The practice and poetics of fieldwork: Hugh Cott and the study of camouflage.

Rating crowdsourced annotations: evaluating contributions of variable quality and completeness (2013)
Journal Article

Crowdsourcing has become a popular means to acquire data about the Earth and its environment inexpensively, but the data-sets obtained are typically imperfect and of unknown quality. Two common imperfections with crowdsourced data are the contributio... Read More about Rating crowdsourced annotations: evaluating contributions of variable quality and completeness.

Bayesian networks for raster data (BayNeRD): plausible reasoning from observations (2013)
Journal Article

This paper describes the basis functioning and implementation of a computer-aided Bayesian Network (BN) method that is able to incorporate experts’ knowledge for the benefit of remote sensing applications and other raster data analyses: Bayesian Netw...

Trauma-Related Mortality among Adults in Rural Western Kenya: Characterising Deaths Using Data from a Health and Demographic Surveillance System (2013)
Journal Article

Background Information on trauma-related deaths in low and middle income countries is limited but needed to target public health interventions. Data from a health and demographic surveillance system (HDSS) were examined to characterise such deaths i...

Global multimodel analysis of drought in runofffor the second half of the twentieth century (2013)
Journal Article

During the past decades large-scale models have been developed to simulate global and continental terrestrial water cycles. It is an open question whether these models are suitable to capture hydrological drought, in terms of runoff, on a global scal...

Viewing animal bodies: truths, practical aesthetics and ethical considerability in UK livestock breeding (2013)
Journal Article

This paper focuses on the production of aesthetic ‘truths’ in UK livestock breeding, drawing on detailed qualitative research with breeders and breed societies. It extends emerging interest in the aesthetic in human geographical research, examining h...

The activity of signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) in relation to thermal and hydraulic dynamics of an alluvial stream, UK (2013)
Journal Article

Signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) are an invasive species of global significance because of their detrimental impacts on freshwater environments and native organisms. The movement of signal crayfish was continuously monitored for 150-days th...

Catchment-mediated atmospheric nitrogen deposition drives ecological change in two alpine lakes in SE Tibet (2013)
Journal Article

The south?east margin of Tibet is highly sensitive to global environmental change pressures, in particular, high contemporary reactive nitrogen (Nr) deposition rates (ca. 40 kg ha?1 yr?1), but the extent and timescale of recent ecological change is n...

Fragments from a medieval archive: the life and death of Sir Robert Constable (2013)
Journal Article

This article asks what we can know of historical individuals in pre-Reformation England. While recognizing the challenges of writing medieval biography, it points to the opportunities offered by a range of under-utilized sources for engaging both wit...

Imagining coastal change: reflections on making a film (2013)
Journal Article

Geography has a long, if episodic, relationship with film and film-making. In this essay we reflect on the process of making the short film Imagining Change: Coastal Conversations during the first three months of 2012. We discuss some issues arising...

The predictive state: science, territory and the future of the Indian climate (2013)
Journal Article

Acts of scientific calculation have long been considered central to the formation of the modern nation-state, yet the transnational spaces of knowledge generation and political action associated with climate change seem to challenge territorial modes...

A global assessment of the impact of climate change on water scarcity (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents a global scale assessment of the impact of climate change on water scarcity. Patterns of climate change from 21 Global Climate Models (GCMs) under four SRES scenarios are applied to a global hydrological model to estimate water re...
