Biochar in the British print news media: an analysis of promissory discourse and the creation of expectations about carbon removal (2023)
Journal Article

Biochar is amongst a growing suite of approaches developed to address the climate crisis by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; yet public awareness of biochar is low. In this situation, mass-media reporting plays an important role in making...

Neighbourhood influences on youth mental health and stress levels during the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic (2023)
Journal Article

The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on youth mental health and stress levels warrants urgent attention. In Canada, as elsewhere in the world, public health measures in the early stages of the pandemic dramatically transformed the everyday geographie...

Identifying the controls on nitrate and metabolic state within the Red River delta (Vietnam) with the use of stable isotopes (2023)
Journal Article

In many places around the world, anthropogenic activities have resulted in nitrate (NO3−) pollution and changes in the metabolic state of aquatic ecosystems. Here we combined stable isotope and physico-chemical monitoring to assess the sources of NO3...

Assessment of variability of peat physicochemical properties, subsidence and their interactions within Selangor forests (2023)
Journal Article

Tropical peat swamp forests are carbon-rich ecosystems both above- and belowground, which play a major role in the climate balance of the earth. The majority of the world's tropical peat forest cover is located in Southeast Asia and is increasingly t...

Sea level controls on the provenance of fine-grained sediments in the Xisha Trough, northwestern South China Sea over the last ~30 ka (2023)
Journal Article

The Xisha Trough situated in the northwestern South China Sea (SCS), plays a pivotal role in transporting sediments from the Red River into the deep-sea basin of the SCS, and thus is a critical place to examine variations in source-to-sink process of... Read More about Sea level controls on the provenance of fine-grained sediments in the Xisha Trough, northwestern South China Sea over the last ~30 ka.

Hungry for power: financialization and the concentration of corporate control in the global food system (2023)
Journal Article

The global food system is in crisis. Climate change, ecological degradation, and economic and military conflict have exposed significant vulnerabilities in how the world produces, distributes, and consumes food. While governments aim to address these... Read More about Hungry for power: financialization and the concentration of corporate control in the global food system.

Teens talk vaping: A co-produced participatory study exploring teens’ reflections on vaping experiences and exposures in their everyday environments (2023)
Journal Article

Increasing prevalence of vaping (e-cigarette use) among youth in Canada and elsewhere has become a serious public health concern. The Teens Talk Vaping project sought to co-produce research about teen vaping with teens to generate in-depth qualitativ... Read More about Teens talk vaping: A co-produced participatory study exploring teens’ reflections on vaping experiences and exposures in their everyday environments.

Elementary effects for models with dimensional inputs of arbitrary type and range: Scaling and trajectory generation (2023)
Journal Article

The Elementary Effects method is a global sensitivity analysis approach for identifying (un)important parameters in a model. However, it has almost exclusively been used where inputs are dimensionless and take values on [0, 1]. Here, we consider mode... Read More about Elementary effects for models with dimensional inputs of arbitrary type and range: Scaling and trajectory generation.

Combining Landsat TIR ‐imagery data and ERA5 reanalysis information with different calibration strategies to improve simulations of streamflow and river temperature in the Canadian Subarctic (2023)
Journal Article

Arctic and Subarctic environments are among the most vulnerable regions to climate change. Increases in liquid precipitation and changes in snowmelt onset are cited as the main drivers of change in streamflow and water temperature patterns in some of... Read More about Combining Landsat TIR ‐imagery data and ERA5 reanalysis information with different calibration strategies to improve simulations of streamflow and river temperature in the Canadian Subarctic.

Optical and radar Earth observation data for upscaling methane emissions linked to permafrost degradation in sub-Arctic peatlands in northern Sweden (2023)
Journal Article

Permafrost thaw in Arctic regions is increasing methane (CH4) emissions into the atmosphere, but quantification of such emissions is difficult given the large and remote areas impacted. Hence, Earth observation (EO) data are critical for assessing pe...

Climate and atmospheric circulation during the Early and Mid‐Holocene inferred from lake‐carbonate oxygen‐isotope records from western Ireland (2023)
Journal Article

The Early to Mid‐Holocene experienced marked climate change over the northern hemisphere mid‐latitudes in response to changing insolation and declining ice volume. Oxygen isotopes from lake sediments provide a valuable climate proxy, encoding informa...

Using lake sediments to assess the long-term impacts of anthropogenic activity in tropical river deltas (2023)
Journal Article

Tropical river deltas, and the social-ecological systems they sustain, are changing rapidly due to anthropogenic activity and climatic change. Baseline data to inform sustainable management options for resilient deltas is urgently needed and palaeoli...
