River temperature research and practice: Recent challenges and emerging opportunities for managing thermal habitat conditions in stream ecosystems (2020)
Journal Article

There is growing evidence that river temperatures are increasing under climate change, which is expected to be exacerbated by increased abstractions to satisfy human water demands. Water temperature research has experienced crucial advances, both in...

The Platform Political Economy of FinTech: Reintermediation, Consolidation and Capitalisation (2020)
Journal Article

‘FinTech’ is the digital sector of retail money and finance widely proclaimed to be transforming banking in the global North and ‘banking the unbanked’ in the global South.

Relating root causes to local risk conditions: A comparative study of the institutional pathways to small-scale disasters in three urban flood contexts (2020)
Journal Article

The continued rise of global disaster losses pushes our attention yet further to the causal factors that drive risks, beyond the frame of standardised risk assessment models. A key gap in our understanding of the causality of disasters remains establ...

Diatoms in a sediment core from a flood pulse wetland in Malaysia record strong responses to human impacts and hydro‐climate over the past 150 years (2020)
Journal Article

Rapid development and climate change in southeast Asia is placing unprecedented pressures on freshwater ecosystems, but long term records of the ecological consequences are rare. Here we examine one basin of Tasik Chini (Malaysia), a UNESCO?designate...

Imperial Internationalism: The Round Table Conference and the Making of India in London, 1930–1932 (2020)
Journal Article

This paper argues that we can view the Round Table Conference (three sittings between 1930-32) as an international organisation that re-assembled the technology of the colonial Indian state. The conference is traditionally associated with colonial an... Read More about Imperial Internationalism: The Round Table Conference and the Making of India in London, 1930–1932.

The impacts of intensive mining on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems: A case of sediment pollution and calcium decline in cool temperate Tasmania, Australia (2020)
Journal Article

Mining causes extensive damage to aquatic ecosystems via acidification, heavy metal pollution, sediment loading, and Ca decline. Yet little is known about the effects of mining on freshwater systems in the Southern Hemisphere. A case in point is the...

Anabiosis and the liminal geographies of de/extinction (2020)
Journal Article

The spectacle of de-extinction is often forward facing at the interface of science fiction and speculative fact, haunted by extinction’s pasts. Missing from this discourse, however, is a robust theorization of de-extinction in the present. This artic... Read More about Anabiosis and the liminal geographies of de/extinction.

Can rock-rubble groynes support similar intertidal ecological communities to natural rocky shores? (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 by the authors. Despite the global implementation of rock-rubble groyne structures, there is limited research investigating their ecology, much less than for other artificial coastal structures. Here we compare the intertidal ecology of urban... Read More about Can rock-rubble groynes support similar intertidal ecological communities to natural rocky shores?.

Hurricane effects on Neotropical lizards span geographic and phylogenetic scales (2020)
Journal Article

Extreme climate events such as droughts, cold snaps, and hurricanes can be powerful agents of natural selection, producing acute selective pressures very different from the everyday pressures acting on organisms. However, it remains unknown whether t... Read More about Hurricane effects on Neotropical lizards span geographic and phylogenetic scales.

Marine resource abundance drove pre-agricultural population increase in Stone Age Scandinavia (2020)
Journal Article

How climate and ecology affect key cultural transformations remains debated in the context of long-term socio-cultural development because of spatially and temporally disjunct climate and archaeological records. The introduction of agriculture trigge... Read More about Marine resource abundance drove pre-agricultural population increase in Stone Age Scandinavia.

‘Where is the space for continuum?’ Gyms and the visceral "stickiness" of binary gender (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This paper develops a visceral feminist geography of the gym to expand our understanding of how everyday physical activity environments are implicated in the gendered context of physical...

Towards the conservation of Borneo’s freshwater mussels: rediscovery of the endemic Ctenodesma borneensis and first record of the non-native Sinanodonta lauta (2020)
Journal Article

The freshwater mussel fauna of Borneo is highly endemic, with at least 11 species being unique to that island. Most of these species have not been recorded for at least 50 years owing to a lack of sampling effort and large-scale habitat destruction a...

Use of automated change detection and VGI sources for identifying and validating urban land use change (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, by the authors. Land use and land cover (LULC) mapping is often undertaken by national mapping agencies, where these LULC products are used for different types of monitoring and reporting applications. Updating of LULC databases is often done... Read More about Use of automated change detection and VGI sources for identifying and validating urban land use change.

Freshwater microplastic concentrations vary through both space and time (2020)
Journal Article

Plastic pollution represents one of the most salient indicators of society’s impact on the environment. The microplastic component of this is ubiquitous, however, microplastic studies are seldom representative of the locations they sample. Over 12 mo...

Historical and future changes in global flood magnitude - evidence from a model-observation investigation (2020)
Journal Article

© Author(s) 2020. To improve the understanding of trends in extreme flows related to flood events at the global scale, historical and future changes of annual maxima of 7 d streamflow are investigated, using a comprehensive streamflow archive and six...

Journal Article

1. The freshwater mussel (Unionida) fauna of the Yangtze River is among the most diverse on Earth. In recent decades, human activities have caused habitat degradation in the river, and previous studies estimated that up to 80% of the mussel specie...
