Using Learning and Action Alliances to build capacity for local flood risk management (2020)
Journal Article

Learning and Action Alliances (LAAs) are becoming an increasingly popular method for overcoming the challenges associated with participatory forms of governance, where decision making requires collaboration between stakeholders. In flood risk managem... Read More about Using Learning and Action Alliances to build capacity for local flood risk management.

Energy and the environment in Sub-Saharan Africa: Household perceptions of improved cookstoves (2020)
Book Chapter

Around 2.7 billion people globally and 80% of households in Sub-Saharan Africa rely on solid biomass fuels for cooking and heating. This results in high levels of exposure to household air pollution (HAP); the second most common cause of death in eas...

Characterising the geomorphological and physicochemical effects of water injection dredging on estuarine systems (2020)
Journal Article

Dredging is a globally important aquatic system management activity, used for navigation improvement, contamination removal, aggregate production and/or flood risk mitigation. Despite widespread application, understanding of the environmental effects...

Diatom-based water-table reconstruction in Sphagnum peatlands of northeastern China (2020)
Journal Article

Peatlands are important ecosystems for biodiversity conservation, global carbon cycling and water storage. Hydrological changes due to climate variability have accelerated the degradation of global and regional ecosystem services of peatlands. Diatom...

Developing the implicit association test to uncover hidden preferences for sustainable drainage systems (2020)
Journal Article

Understanding public perceptions of Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) is critical for addressing barriers to their implementation. Perceptions are typically evaluated using explicit measures (e.g. questionnaires) that are subject to biases and may...

Drivers of future urban flood risk (2020)
Journal Article

Managing urban flood risk is a key global challenge of the 21st Century. Drivers of future UK flood risk were identified and assessed by the Flood Foresight project in 2002-04 and 2008; envisaging flood risk during the 2050s and 2080s under a range o...

Community perception, adaptation and resilience to extreme weather in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico (2020)
Journal Article

© 2020, The Author(s). Perceptions of climate change, the impacts of and responses to climatic variability and extreme weather are explored in three communities in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, in relation to livelihood resilience. These communities... Read More about Community perception, adaptation and resilience to extreme weather in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.

An evaluation of different forest cover geospatial data for riparian shading and river temperature modelling (2020)
Journal Article

Riparian tree planting is increasingly being used as a strategy to shade river corridors and offset the impact of climate change on river temperature. Because the circumstances under which tree planting generates the greatest impact are still largely...

Leverage points for sustainability transformation: a review on interventions in food and energy systems (2020)
Journal Article

© 2019 Elsevier B.V. There is increasing recognition that sustainability science should be solutions orientated and that such solutions will often require transformative change. However, the concrete sustainability interventions are often not clearly... Read More about Leverage points for sustainability transformation: a review on interventions in food and energy systems.

The Iso2k Database: A global compilation of paleo-δ18O and δ2H records to aid understanding of Common Era climate (2020)
Working Paper

Reconstructions of global hydroclimate during the Common Era (CE; the past ~ 2000 years) are important for providing context for current and future global environmental change. Stable isotope ratios in water are quantitative indicators of hydroclimat...

Understanding the co?occurrence of tree loss and modern slavery to improve efficacy of conservation actions and policies (2020)
Journal Article

Locations where populations are most reliant on forests and their ecosystem services for subsistence and development are also areas where modern slavery persists. These issues are noted within the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), both target 15....

Explaining the unsuitability of the kappa coefficient in the assessment and comparison of the accuracy of thematic maps obtained by image classification (2020)
Journal Article

The kappa coefficient is not an index of accuracy, indeed it is not an index of overall agreement but one of agreement beyond chance. Chance agreement is, however, irrelevant in an accuracy assessment and is anyway inappropriately modelled in the cal...
