Green infrastructure: The future of urban flood risk management? (2021)
Journal Article

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?.

Intergenerational inequities in exposure to climate extremes (2021)
Journal Article

Under continued global warming, extreme events such as heat waves will continue to rise in frequency, intensity, duration, and spatial extent over the next decades (1–4). Younger generations are therefore expected to face more such events across thei... Read More about Intergenerational inequities in exposure to climate extremes.

Northward shift of the southern westerlies during the Antarctic Cold Reversal (2021)
Journal Article

Inter-hemispheric asynchrony of climate change through the last deglaciation has been theoretically linked to latitudinal shifts in the southern westerlies via their influence over CO2 out-gassing from the Southern Ocean. Proxy-based reconstructions... Read More about Northward shift of the southern westerlies during the Antarctic Cold Reversal.

Validity of estimating flood and drought characteristics under equilibrium climates from transient simulations (2021)
Journal Article

Future flood and drought risks have been predicted to transition from moderate to high levels at global warmings of 1.5°C and 2.0°C above pre-industrial levels, respectively. However, these results were obtained by approximating the equilibrium clima...

A new genus and two new, rare freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionidae) species endemic to Borneo are threatened by ongoing habitat destruction (2021)
Journal Article

1. Most of the Bornean endemic freshwater mussel (Unionida) species known to date have not been recorded by science for the past 50 years or more, owing to a lack of research effort and presumed population losses. 2. This study assessed current pa... Read More about A new genus and two new, rare freshwater mussel (Bivalvia: Unionidae) species endemic to Borneo are threatened by ongoing habitat destruction.

Monitoring high spatiotemporal water dynamics by fusing MODIS, Landsat, water occurrence data and DEM (2021)
Journal Article

Monitoring the spatiotemporal dynamics of surface water from remote sensing imagery is essential for understanding water's impact on the global ecosystem and climate change. There is often a tradeoff between the spatial and temporal resolutions of im... Read More about Monitoring high spatiotemporal water dynamics by fusing MODIS, Landsat, water occurrence data and DEM.

A quantitative evaluation of the issue of drought definition: A source of disagreement in future drought assessments (2021)
Journal Article

Droughts are anticipated to intensify in many parts of the world due to climate change. However, the issue of drought definition, namely the diversity of drought indices, makes it difficult to compare drought assessments. This issue is widely known,...

Remote Monitoring of Ground Motion Hazards in High Mountain Terrain Using InSAR: A Case Study of the Lake Sarez Area, Tajikistan (2021)
Journal Article

High mountain terrains, with steep slopes and deep valleys, are generally challenging areas to monitor using satellite earth observation techniques since the terrain creates perspective distortions and differences in illumination that can occlude or...

Which Biomass Stove(s) Capable of Reducing Household Air Pollution Are Available to the Poorest Communities Globally? (2021)
Journal Article

Globally, household and ambient air pollution (HAAP) leads to approximately seven million premature deaths per year. One of the main sources of household air pollution (HAP) is the traditional stove. So-called improved cookstoves (ICS) do not reduce... Read More about Which Biomass Stove(s) Capable of Reducing Household Air Pollution Are Available to the Poorest Communities Globally?.

Catastrophic bushfires, indigenous fire knowledge and reframing science in Southeast Australia (2021)
Journal Article

The catastrophic 2019/2020 Black Summer bushfires were the worst fire season in the recorded history of Southeast Australia. These bushfires were one of several recent global conflagrations across landscapes that are homelands of Indigenous peoples,...

Challenging the financial inclusion-decent work nexus: evidence from Cambodia’s over-indebted internal migrants (2021)
Journal Article

In this paper, we question the promotion of financial inclusion, and microfinance specifically, as a means to achieve ‘Decent Work’ (DW) under the International Labor Organization’s (ILO) programme. Drawing upon original research findings from two ty... Read More about Challenging the financial inclusion-decent work nexus: evidence from Cambodia’s over-indebted internal migrants.

Making Dalmatia green again: reforestation at the ‘horrible edge’ of Empire 1870–1918 (2021)
Journal Article

Reforestation has been one of the main forestry activities in the karst terrain of Dalmatia, Croatia, for more than a century. This paper examines the history behind reforestation schemes in Dalmatia, a kingdom at the periphery of the Austro-Hungaria...

No-till alley cropping using leguminous trees biomass: a farmer- and eco-friendly sustainable alternative to shifting cultivation in the Amazonian periphery? (2021)
Journal Article

Agricultural growth is essential for both alleviating poverty and feeding the population of the Brazilian Amazonian periphery, where slash-and-burn agriculture continues to support the livelihoods of between 3.5 and 4 million people. We developed a n... Read More about No-till alley cropping using leguminous trees biomass: a farmer- and eco-friendly sustainable alternative to shifting cultivation in the Amazonian periphery?.

Risk of forced labour embedded in the US fruit and vegetable supply (2021)
Journal Article

Sustainable food consumption studies have largely focused on promoting human health within ecological limits. Less attention has been paid to social sustainability, in part because of limited data and models. Globally, agriculture has one of the high...
