Comparison of the impacts of elevated CO2 soil gas concentrations on selected European terrestrial environments (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Natural Environment Research Council. Selected European studies have illustrated the impacts of elevated CO2 concentrations in shallow soils on pasture. For the first time, general unified conclusions can be made, providing CO2 thresholds wher...

Geographies of marketisation in English higher education: territorial and relational markets and the case of undergraduate student fees (2015)
Journal Article

In this paper, I use the case of the marketisation of higher education in England to contribute to the growing interest in placing markets, and processes of market making, more centrally within economic geographical research agendas. In particular, m... Read More about Geographies of marketisation in English higher education: territorial and relational markets and the case of undergraduate student fees.

Journal Article

This paper concerns the nature of structured begging migration in Phnom Penh, as well as its impact and meaning in sender communities. It interrogates a popular myth known throughout Cambodia concerning the supernatural motivation of ‘rich’ beggars,... Read More about The Village of the Damned? Myths and Realities of Structured Begging Behaviour in and Around Phnom Penh.

An assessment of citizen contributed ground reference data for land cover map accuracy assessment (2015)
Journal Article

It is now widely accepted that an accuracy assessment should be part of a thematic mapping programme. Authoritative good or best practices for accuracy assessment have been defined but are often impractical to implement. Key reasons for this situatio...

Occupying wide open spaces? Late Pleistocene hunter–gatherer activities in the Eastern Levant (2015)
Journal Article

With a specific focus on eastern Jordan, the Epipalaeolithic Foragers in Azraq Project explores changing hunter-gatherer strategies, behaviours and adaptations to this vast area throughout the Late Pleistocene. In particular, we examine how lifeways... Read More about Occupying wide open spaces? Late Pleistocene hunter–gatherer activities in the Eastern Levant.

Evaluation of the performance of different atmospheric chemical transport models and inter-comparison of nitrogen and sulphur deposition estimates for the UK (2015)
Journal Article

An evaluation has been made of a number of contrasting atmospheric chemical transport models, of varying complexity, applied to estimate sulphur and nitrogen deposition in the UK. The models were evaluated by comparison with annually averaged measure...

Eastern Mediterranean hydroclimate over the late glacial and Holocene, reconstructed from the sediments of Nar lake, central Turkey, using stable isotopes and carbonate mineralogy (2015)
Journal Article

There is a lack of high-resolution records of hydroclimate variability in the Eastern Mediterranean from the late glacial and early Holocene. More knowledge of the speed of climate shifts and the degree to which they were synchronous with changes in...

Late Holocene climate reorganisation and the North American Monsoon (2015)
Journal Article

The North America Monsoon (NAM) provides the majority of rainfall for central and northern Mexico as well as parts of the south west USA. The controls over the strength of the NAM in a given year are complex, and include both Pacific and Atlantic sys...

BHPMF - a hierarchical Bayesian approach to gap-filling and trait prediction for macroecology and functional biogeography (2015)
Journal Article

& Sons Ltd. Aim: Functional traits of organisms are key to understanding and predicting biodiversity and ecological change, which motivates continuous collection of traits and their integration into global databases. Such trait matrices are inherent... Read More about BHPMF - a hierarchical Bayesian approach to gap-filling and trait prediction for macroecology and functional biogeography.

Human impact on the hydroenvironment of Lake Parishan, SW Iran, through the late-Holocene (2015)
Journal Article

A multiproxy record from Lake Parishan, SW Iran, shows human impact on the lake and its catchment over the last 4000 years. The Parishan record provides evidence of changes in lake hydrology, from ostracod, diatom and isotope analyses, that are direc...

Geographical perspectives on epidemic transmission of cholera in Haiti, October 2010 through March 2013 (2015)
Journal Article

The current epidemic of El Tor cholera in the Caribbean republic of Haiti is one of the largest single outbreaks of the disease ever recorded. The prospects are that the epidemic will continue to present challenges to workers in public health medicin...

Gendered priorities for ‘improved’ sanitation: insights from Kisumu Kenya (2015)
Conference Proceeding

This paper explores how official concepts of ‘improved’ sanitation often fail to reflect the priorities of female users. As the health benefits associated with improved sanitation cannot be fully realised until all potential user groups habitually ut...

‘This restless enemy of all fertility’: exploring paradigms of coastal dune management in Western Europe over the last 700 years (2015)
Journal Article

Drifting sand has inundated settlements and damaged agricultural land along the coasts of Western Europe for the last 700 years. The need to control sand migration has been an important driver of the management of coastal sand dunes and here we analy...

Area, climate heterogeneity, and the response of climate niches to ecological opportunity in island radiations of Anolis lizards (2015)
Journal Article

Aim Rates of climate niche evolution underlie numerous fundamental ecological processes and patterns. However, while climate niche conservatism varies markedly among regions and clades, the source of this variation remains poorly understood. We te...
