Knowledge makes the money go round: Conflicts of interest and corporate finance in London's financial district (2007)
Journal Article
Hall, S. (2007). Knowledge makes the money go round: Conflicts of interest and corporate finance in London's financial district. Geoforum, 38(4), 710-719. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2006.11.023

This paper argues that the conflicts of interest cases brought against Wall Street investment banks in the early 2000s were neither geographically nor institutionally isolated events. Rather, by combining recent work on financial knowledges in both e... Read More about Knowledge makes the money go round: Conflicts of interest and corporate finance in London's financial district.

Book Chapter
Legg, S. (2007). Beyond the European province: Foucault and postcolonialism. In S. Elden, & J. Crampton (Eds.), Space, knowledge and power: Foucault and geography. Ashgate. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315610146

The colonization of most of the free world between the 16th and 21st centuries has brought not only territorial but also epistemic and historiographical violence and domination. The end of formal occupation has not signalled the withdrawal of colonia... Read More about Beyond the European province: Foucault and postcolonialism.

One-class classification for monitoring a specific land cover class: SVDD classification of fenland (2007)
Journal Article
Sanchez-Hernandez, C., Boyd, D. S., & Foody, G. M. (2007). One-class classification for monitoring a specific land cover class: SVDD classification of fenland. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 45(4), https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2006.890414

Remote sensing is a major source of land cover information. Commonly, interest focuses on a single land cover class. Although a conventional multi-class classifier may be used to provide a map depicting the class of interest the analysis is not focus...

Diatom oxygen isotopes: evidence of a species effect in the sediment record (2007)
Journal Article
Swann, G. E., Leng, M. J., Sloane, H. J., Maslin, M. A., & Onodera, J. (2007). Diatom oxygen isotopes: evidence of a species effect in the sediment record. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 8(6), Article Q06012. https://doi.org/10.1029/2006GC001535

Diatom oxygen isotope measurements are commonly made on bulk mixed species assemblages due to the difficulty in purifying and separating individual taxa. As such, it is essential to understand processes in diatoms which may lead to isotope offsets bo... Read More about Diatom oxygen isotopes: evidence of a species effect in the sediment record.

Biogenic Silica (BSi) has been one of the most important proxies for determining the palaeoclimate from Lake Baikal over glacial-interglacial cycles. Concentrations (calculated through a 1% Na2CO3 wet-alkaline digestion) at a site in the north basin,...

Establishing a time frame for the development of the modern halocline and stratified water column in the subarctic North Pacific has significant paleoclimatic implications. Here we present a d18O(diatom) record consisting of only two species that rep...
