Beyond the Walls: Patterns of Child Labour, Forced Labour, and Exploitation in a New Domestic Workers Dataset (2024)
Journal Article

The new Domestic Workers Dataset is the largest single set of surveys (n = 11,759) of domestic workers to date. Our analysis of this dataset reveals features about the lives and work of this “hard-to-find” population in India—a country estimated to h...

Extreme Outrageous And (Un)reliable Navigating Uncertainty In The Development Of Sound-based Fog Signals In Scotland 1860 -1900 (2024)
Journal Article

In the late nineteenth century, engineers at Scotland’s Northern Lighthouse Board developed and managed an increasingly complex network of sound-based fog signals. From only five bell signals in 1873, the Scottish network grew to thirty-seven sound s...

Understanding the effects of spatially variable riparian tree planting strategies to target water temperature reductions in rivers (2024)
Journal Article

Climate change is increasing river temperature globally, altering the thermal suitability for iconic cold-water adapted fishes. In regions with low tree cover, the impacts of projected climate change on river temperature will be particularly pronounc...

Mainstreaming social sciences expertise in UK environment policy and practice organisations: retrospect and prospect (2024)
Journal Article

Building upon the concept of mainstreaming social sciences within conservation, we consider their mainstreaming, and so integration, within UK environment policy and practice (EPP) organisations. The paper responds to increasing calls to recognise th... Read More about Mainstreaming social sciences expertise in UK environment policy and practice organisations: retrospect and prospect.

Reconnecting a stream channel to its floodplain: implications for benthic diatoms and macroinvertebrate trophic structure (2024)
Journal Article

Streams systems draining upland landscapes provide valuable ecosystem services, but they are vulnerable to incision and channelization caused by anthropogenic disturbance. Restoring a degraded stream to its pre‐disturbance condition by reconnecting t...

Integrative phylogenetic, phylogeographic and morphological characterisation of the Unio crassus species complex reveals cryptic diversity with important conservation implications (2024)
Journal Article

The global decline of freshwater mussels and their crucial ecological services highlight the need to understand their phylogeny, phylogeography and patterns of genetic diversity to guide conservation efforts. Such knowledge is urgently needed for Uni...

Notable shifts beyond pre-industrial streamflow and soil moisture conditions transgress the planetary boundary for freshwater change (2024)
Journal Article

Human actions compromise the many life-supporting functions provided by the freshwater cycle. Yet, scientific understanding of anthropogenic freshwater change and its long-term evolution is limited. Here, using a multi-model ensemble of global hydrol...
