The Holocene history of the North American Monsoon: 'known knowns' and 'known unknowns' in understanding its spatial and temporal complexity (2015)
Journal Article

Evidence for climatic change across the North American Monsoon (NAM) and adjacent areas is reviewed, drawing on continental and marine records and the application of climate models. Patterns of change at 12,000, 9000, 6000 and 4000 cal yr BP are pre...

Seeing the landscape for the trees: metrics to guide riparian shade management in river catchments (2015)
Journal Article

Rising water temperature (Tw) due to anthropogenic climate change may have serious consequences for river ecosystems. Conservation and/or expansion of riparian shade could counter warming and buy time for ecosystems to adapt. However, sensitivity of...

Enhancing the spatial resolution of satellite-derived land surface temperature mapping for urban areas (2015)
Journal Article

Land surface temperature (LST) is an important environmental variable for urban studies such as those focused on the urban heat island (UHI). Though satellite-derived LST could be a useful complement to traditional LST data sources, the spatial resol...

Conferencing the international at the World Pacifist Meeting in India, 1949 (2015)
Journal Article

This paper considers how the act of conferencing was central to imagining, negotiating and contesting post-war pacifism as an internationalist project. The paper contends that internationalism and the international conference are inexorably entwined.... Read More about Conferencing the international at the World Pacifist Meeting in India, 1949.

Innovative technologies for terrestrial remote sensing (2015)
Journal Article

[In lieu of abstract, extract from first page] Characterizing and monitoring terrestrial, or land, surface features, such as forests, deserts, and cities, are fundamental and continuing goals of Earth Observation (EO). EO imagery and related technol... Read More about Innovative technologies for terrestrial remote sensing.

Usability of VGI for validation of land cover maps (2015)
Journal Article

Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) represents a growing source of potentially valuable data for many applications, including land cover map validation. It is still an emerging field and many different approaches can be used to take value from V... Read More about Usability of VGI for validation of land cover maps.

Acceleration of cyanobacterial dominance in north temperate-subarctic lakes during the Anthropocene (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 John Wiley & Sons Ltd/CNRS. Increases in atmospheric temperature and nutrients from land are thought to be promoting the expansion of harmful cyanobacteria in lakes worldwide, yet to date there has been no quantitative synthesis of long-term...

Desert Journeys: From exploration to covert operations (2015)
Journal Article

This paper explores the entangled relationship between geographical knowledge and covert warfare through a study of soldier and desert explorer Ralph Bagnold. On Italy's declaration of war in 1940 the British military became engaged in a process of t... Read More about Desert Journeys: From exploration to covert operations.

Airborne LiDAR for the detection of archaeological vegetation marks using biomass as a proxy (2015)
Journal Article

In arable landscapes, the airborne detection of archaeological features is often reliant on using the properties of the vegetation cover as a proxy for sub-surface features in the soil. Under the right conditions, the formation of vegetation marks al... Read More about Airborne LiDAR for the detection of archaeological vegetation marks using biomass as a proxy.

What else do managers need to know about warming rivers? A United Kingdom perspective: Managing warming rivers (2015)
Journal Article

River flow and water temperature are fundamental controls of freshwater ecosystems. Hence, future warming could impact valued habitats and species, particularly those with cold water preferences (such as salmonids). Warming could also exacerbate exis...

Valuing map validation: the need for rigorous land cover map accuracy assessment in economic valuations of ecosystem services (2015)
Journal Article

Valuations of ecosystem services often use data on land cover class areal extent. Area estimates from land cover maps may be biased by misclassification error resulting in flawed assessments and inaccurate valuations. Adjustment for misclassification...
