Assessing a temporal change strategy for sub-pixel land cover change mapping from multi-scale remote sensing imagery (2016)
Journal Article

Remotely sensed imagery is an attractive source of information for mapping and monitoring land cover. Fine spatial resolution imagery is typically acquired infrequently, but fine temporal resolution systems commonly provide coarse spatial resolution...

Osmium isotope evidence for two pulses of increased continental weathering linked to Early Jurassic volcanism and climate change (2016)
Journal Article

Large igneous provinces (LIPs) are proposed to have caused a number of episodes of abrupt environmental change by increasing atmospheric CO2 levels, which were subsequently alleviated by drawdown of CO2 via enhanced continental weathering and burial... Read More about Osmium isotope evidence for two pulses of increased continental weathering linked to Early Jurassic volcanism and climate change.

Picturing the future-conditional: montage and the global geographies of climate change (2016)
Journal Article

A growing body of work has explored the effects of visual imagery on shifting forms of environmental consciousness and politics. Circulating images of, for example, the ‘whole Earth’ have been ascribed agency in the emergence of new forms of planetar...

Sex and the city: branding, gender and the commodification of sex consumption in contemporary retailing (2016)
Journal Article

This paper explores the changing spatiality of the sex retail industry in England and Wales, from highly regulated male orientated sex shops, pushed to the legislative margins of the city and social respectability, towards the emergence of unregulate...

What can participant-generated drawing add to health geography’s qualitative palette? (2016)
Book Chapter

Deploying participant-generated drawing as a research method presented me with two new challenges. The first is rather personal. Although I am convinced that drawing is a valuable method and stand by what I have written in this chapter, I wrestled wi...

Comparing the relationship between knowledge and support for hydraulic fracturing between residents of the United States and the United Kingdom (2016)
Journal Article

Our work examines the relationship between knowledge/familiarity with shale gas development in a comparative context. The United States (US) and United Kingdom (UK) represent very different cases of shale gas development, with development relatively...

Modelling and the nation: institutionalising climate prediction in the UK, 1988–92 (2016)
Journal Article

How climate models came to gain and exercise epistemic authority has been a key concern of recent climate change historiography. Using newly released archival materials and recently conducted interviews with key actors, we reconstruct negotiations be...

Identification and analysis of low molecular weight dissolved organic carbon in subglacial basal ice ecosystems by ion chromatography (2016)
Journal Article

© Author(s) 2015. Glacial runoff is an important source of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) for downstream heterotrophic activity, despite the low overall DOC concentrations. This is because of the abundance of bioavailable, low molecular weight (LMW)...

Identification and analysis of low-molecular-weight dissolved organic carbon in subglacial basal ice ecosystems by ion chromatography (2016)
Journal Article

Determining the concentration and composition of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in glacial ecosystems is important for assessments of in situ microbial activity and contributions to wider biogeochemical cycles. Nonetheless, there is limited knowledge... Read More about Identification and analysis of low-molecular-weight dissolved organic carbon in subglacial basal ice ecosystems by ion chromatography.

Amazon forest response to repeated droughts (2016)
Journal Article

©2016. American Geophysical Union. All Rights Reserved. The Amazon Basin has experienced more variable climate over the last decade, with a severe and widespread drought in 2005 causing large basin-wide losses of biomass. A drought of similar climato...

Developing Frameworks to Understand Disaster Causation: From Forensic Disaster Investigation to Risk Root Cause Analysis (2016)
Journal Article

The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 calls for science to support policy move toward more holistic solutions to disaster risk. This paper outlines an original framework to promote inter-disciplinary research into disaster causat...

Topography-driven isolation, speciation and a global increase of endemism with elevation (2016)
Journal Article

Aim: Higher-elevation areas on islands and continental mountains tend to be separated by longer distances, predicting higher endemism at higher elevations; our study is the first to test the generality of the predicted pattern. We also compare it emp... Read More about Topography-driven isolation, speciation and a global increase of endemism with elevation.

Mid Pleistocene foraminiferal mass extinction coupled with phytoplankton evolution (2016)
Journal Article

Understanding the interaction between climate and biotic evolution is crucial for deciphering the sensitivity of life. An enigmatic mass extinction occurred in the deep oceans during the Mid Pleistocene, with a loss of over 100 species (20%) of sea f...

A viscous cycle: low motility amongst Phnom Penh’s highly mobile cyclo riders (2016)
Journal Article

This paper uses the concept of viscosity to highlight how structural impediments to movement affect not only populations and individuals characterised by low (or no) mobility but also highly mobile groups. Using the ‘cyclo’ riding paratransit workers... Read More about A viscous cycle: low motility amongst Phnom Penh’s highly mobile cyclo riders.
