Improving representation of riparian vegetation shading in a regional stream temperature model using LiDAR data (2017)
Journal Article

Modelling river temperature at the catchment scale is needed to understand how aquatic communities may adapt to current and projected climate change. In small and medium rivers, riparian vegetation can greatly reduce maximum water temperature by prov...

Culture, tradition, and taboo: understanding the social shaping of fuel choices and cooking practices in Nigeria (2017)
Journal Article

Wood fuel remains the most widely used domestic fuel amongst resource poor groups in many low-income countries, despite the environmental and health problems associated with exposure to wood smoke. Studies on household air pollution concentrate predo... Read More about Culture, tradition, and taboo: understanding the social shaping of fuel choices and cooking practices in Nigeria.

Applying geomorphological principles and engineering science to develop a phased sediment management plan for Mount St Helens, Washington (2017)
Journal Article

Thirty-seven years post-eruption, erosion of the debris avalanche at Mount St. Helens continues to supply sediment to the Toutle-Cowlitz River system in quantities that have the potential to lower the Level of Protection (LoP) against flooding unacce...

Soil and land use research in Europe: lessons learned from INSPIRATION bottom-up strategic research agenda setting (2017)
Journal Article

We introduce the INSPIRATION bottom-up approach for the development of a strategic research agenda for spatial planning, land use and soil-sediment-water-system management in Europe. Research and innovation needs were identified by more than 500 Euro...

Invasive cordgrass (Spartina spp.) in south-eastern Australia induces island formation, salt marsh development, and carbon storage (2017)
Journal Article

Invasive vegetation species can lead to major changes in the geomorphology of coastal systems. Within temperate estuaries in the southern hemisphere, especially Australia and New Zealand, the cordgrass Spartina spp. has become established. These spec...

Remotely sensed spatial heterogeneity as an exploratory tool for taxonomic and functional diversity study (2017)
Journal Article

Assessing biodiversity from field-based data is difficult for a number of practical reasons: (i) establishing the total number of sampling units to be investigated and the sampling design (e.g. systematic, random, stratified) can be difficult; (ii) t...

Assessing the impacts of 1.5°C global warming -- simulation protocol of the Inter-Sectoral Impact Model Intercomparison Project (ISIMIP2b) (2017)
Journal Article

In Paris, France, December 2015, the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) invited the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to provide a special report in 2018 on the impacts...

Effects of dam construction and increasing pollutants on the ecohydrological evolution of a shallow freshwater lake in the Yangtze floodplain (2017)
Journal Article

Large river-floodplain systems which provide a variety of societal, economic and biological benefits are undergoing extensive and intensive human disturbance. However, floodplain lakes responses to multiple stressors are poorly understood. The Yangtz...

Learning and Action Alliance framework to facilitate stakeholder collaboration and social learning in urban flood risk management (2017)
Journal Article

Flood and water management governance may be enhanced through partnership working, intra- and cross-organisational collaborations, and wide stakeholder participation. Nonetheless, barriers associated with ineffective communication, fragmented respons...

Connecting qualitative research on exercise and environment to public health agendas requires an equity lens (2017)
Journal Article

In this commentary, I respond to the special section in Health & Place (vol. 46) on “Exercise and environment: new qualitative work to link popular practice and public health” edited by Hitchings and Latham. I argue that if qualitative research is to... Read More about Connecting qualitative research on exercise and environment to public health agendas requires an equity lens.
