Domesticating cleaner cookstoves for improved respiratory health: Using approaches from the sanitation sector to explore the adoption and sustained use of improved cooking technologies in Nepal (2022)
Journal Article

Drawing on village-based data from Nepal, this paper explores the transferability of the Integrated Behavioural Model for Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (IBM-WASH) to the clean cooking sector and its potential to elucidate how barriers to improved coo...

From autonomous to autonomist geographies (2022)
Journal Article

Autonomist Marxist ideas and concepts are resurgent and, with their latent spatiality, are well placed to contribute to radical geographical debates. In particular, the methodology of ‘class composition’ analysis provides a rigorous, materialist crit... Read More about From autonomous to autonomist geographies.

Pollen‐based reconstruction reveals the impact of the onset of agriculture on plant functional trait composition (2022)
Journal Article

The onset of agriculture improved the capacity of ecosystems to produce food, but inadvertently altered other vital ecosystem functions. Plant traits play a central role in determining ecosystem properties, therefore we investigated how the onset of...

Globally widespread and increasing violations of environmental flow envelopes (2022)
Journal Article

Human actions and climate change have drastically altered river flows across the world, resulting in adverse effects on riverine ecosystems. Environmental flows (EFs) have emerged as a prominent tool for safeguarding the riverine ecosystems, but at t...

A global synthesis of ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalve molluscs (2022)
Journal Article

Identification of ecosystem services, i.e. the contributions that ecosystems make to human well-being, has proven instrumental in galvanising public and political support for safeguarding biodiversity and its benefits to people. Here we synthesise th... Read More about A global synthesis of ecosystem services provided and disrupted by freshwater bivalve molluscs.

The timing of unprecedented hydrological drought under climate change (2022)
Journal Article

Droughts that exceed the magnitudes of historical variation ranges could occur increasingly frequently under future climate conditions. However, the time of the emergence of unprecedented drought conditions under climate change has rarely been examin...

The Environmental Risk Transition and Changing Health in Low and Middle Income Countries (2022)
Journal Article

Many low and middle income countries continue to experience a transition in the major causes of illness and death as they develop economically. Particularly rapid transitions have been witnessed in some countries of South and Southeast Asia and, to a...

High exposure of global tree diversity to human pressure (2022)
Journal Article

Safeguarding Earth’s tree diversity is a conservation priority due to the importance of trees for biodiversity and ecosystem functions and services such as carbon sequestration. Here, we improve the foundation for effective conservation of global tre... Read More about High exposure of global tree diversity to human pressure.

A possible role for river restoration enhancing biodiversity through interaction with wildfire (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Historically, wildfire regimes produced important landscape-scale disturbances in many regions globally. The “pyrodiversity begets biodiversity” hypothesis suggests that wildfires that generate temporally and spatially heterogeneous mosai...

Nutrient availability in the North Pacific region not primarily driven by climate through the Quaternary (2022)
Journal Article

The subarctic North Pacific Ocean is a relatively understudied region in terms of palaeoclimate, limiting our understanding of how the region has both driven and responded to palaeoenvironmental events. Today, the subarctic North Pacific Ocean is mar... Read More about Nutrient availability in the North Pacific region not primarily driven by climate through the Quaternary.

DNA metabarcoding unravels unknown diversity and distribution patterns of tropical freshwater invertebrates (2022)
Journal Article

Tropical freshwater invertebrate species are becoming extinct without being described, and effective conservation is hampered by a lack of taxonomic and distribution data. DNA metabarcoding is a promising tool for rapid biodiversity assessments that... Read More about DNA metabarcoding unravels unknown diversity and distribution patterns of tropical freshwater invertebrates.

Geographies of ruralisation or ruralities? The death and life of a category (2022)
Journal Article

The rural sphere has suffered from underrepresentation in recent years in part due to growing interest in the urban. A perhaps equally important aspect of the decline has been the troubling of the spatial boundaries that define the rural and urban am... Read More about Geographies of ruralisation or ruralities? The death and life of a category.

Citizen science for Earth Observation (Citzens4EO): understanding current use in the UK (2022)
Journal Article

The role of Earth observation (EO) data in addressing societal problems from environmental through to humanitarian should not be understated. Recent innovation in EO means provision of analysis ready data and data cubes, which allows for rapid use of...

Not quite cooking on gas: Understanding biogas plant failure and abandonment in Northern Tanzania (2022)
Journal Article

The potential for biogas to fulfil an integral role in promoting sustainable energy solutions, particularly in the Global South, is evident, and especially pertinent in the Sustainable Development Goal era. Internationally, multiple initiatives drive... Read More about Not quite cooking on gas: Understanding biogas plant failure and abandonment in Northern Tanzania.

Fluffy Rivers: How Our Clothes Can Harm Rivers and The Oceans (2022)
Journal Article

Microplastics are one of the most well-known types of environmental pollution. A microplastic is any piece of plastic smaller than 5 mm (about the size of one of the circles on top of a Lego® block). Microplastics come in a variety of shapes and they... Read More about Fluffy Rivers: How Our Clothes Can Harm Rivers and The Oceans.

Towards a model of port-based resilience against fisher labour exploitation (2022)

Human health implications from consuming eggs produced near a derelict metalliferous mine: a case study (2022)
Journal Article

Lead pollution from metalliferous mines can have major environmental and health effects long after the mines have closed. Animals living near derelict mine sites can inadvertently ingest lead-contaminated soils, causing them to accumulate lead and po...
