Fungible Space: Competition and Volatility in the Global Logistics Network (2018)
Journal Article
Danyluk, M. (2019). Fungible Space: Competition and Volatility in the Global Logistics Network. International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, 43(1), 94-111. https://doi.org/10.1111/1468-2427.12675

This article examines an emerging form of interspatial competition premised on attracting cargo traffic and value‐added logistics activities. Against the backdrop of economic globalization and the revolution in logistics, place‐based actors are incre...

Subjects of truth: resisting governmentality in Foucault’s 1980s (2018)
Journal Article
Legg, S. (2019). Subjects of truth: resisting governmentality in Foucault’s 1980s. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 37(1), 27-45. https://doi.org/10.1177/0263775818801957

Responding to ongoing concerns that Michel Foucault’s influential governmentality analytics fail to enable the study of “resistance”, this paper analyses his last two lecture courses on “parrhesia” (risky and courageous speech). While Foucault resist... Read More about Subjects of truth: resisting governmentality in Foucault’s 1980s.

Spatial assessment of the distribution and potential of bioenergy resources in Kazakhstan (2018)
Journal Article
Koshim, A., Karatayev, M., Clarke, M. L., & Nock, W. (2018). Spatial assessment of the distribution and potential of bioenergy resources in Kazakhstan. Advances in Geosciences, 45, 217-225. https://doi.org/10.5194/adgeo-45-217-2018

Kazakhstan is naturally rich in fossil fuels and its economy is strongly linked to oil and gas exports. Significant coal reserves have led to an energy mix that is dominated by aging and polluting thermal power plants. Yet Kazakhstan comprises mainly...

Journal Article
Dicks, L., Rose, D., Ang, F., Aston, S., Birch, A., Boatman, N., Bowles, . L., Chadwick, D., Dinsdale, A., Durham, S., Elliott, J., Firbank, L., Humphreys, S., Jarvis, P., Jones, D., Kindred, D., Knight, S., Lee, M., Leifert, C., Lobley, M., …Sutherland, W. (2019). What agricultural practices are most likely to deliver ‘sustainable intensification’ in the UK?. Food and Energy Security, 8(1), Article e00148. https://doi.org/10.1002/fes3.148

Sustainable intensification is a process by which agricultural productivity is enhanced whilst also creating environmental and social benefits. We aimed to identify practices likely to deliver sustainable intensification, currently available for UK f...

Climate impact on the development of Pre-Classic Maya civilisation (2018)
Journal Article
Nooren, K., Hoek, W. Z., Dermody, B. J., Galop, D., Metcalfe, S., Islebe, G., & Middelkoop, H. (2018). Climate impact on the development of Pre-Classic Maya civilisation. Climate of the Past, 14(8), 1253-1273. https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-14-1253-2018

The impact of climate change on the development and disintegration of Maya civilisation has long been debated. The lack of agreement among existing palaeoclimatic records from the region has prevented a detailed understanding of regional-scale climat...

Journal Article
van Hardenbroek, M., Chakraborty, A., Davies, K., Harding, P., Heiri, O., Henderson, A., Holmes, J., Lasher, G., Leng, M., Panizzo, V., Roberts, L., Schilder, J., Trueman, C., & Wooller, M. (2018).

Quaternary Science Reviews, 196, 154-176. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.08.003

This paper provides an overview of stable isotope analysis (H, C, N, O, Si) of the macro and microscopic remains from aquatic organisms found in lake sediment records and their application in (palaeo)environmental science. Aquatic organisms, includin... Read More about The stable isotope composition of organic and inorganic fossils in lake sediment records: current understanding, challenges, and future directions.

Introduction: Turbulent circulation: building a critical engagement with logistics (2018)
Journal Article
Chua, C., Danyluk, M., Cowen, D., & Khalili, L. (2018). Introduction: Turbulent circulation: building a critical engagement with logistics. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 36(4), 617-629. https://doi.org/10.1177/0263775818783101

Since the mid-20th century, logistics has evolved into a wide-ranging science of circulation involved in planning and managing flows of innumerable kinds. In this introductory essay, we take stock of the ascendancy and proliferation of logistics, pro... Read More about Introduction: Turbulent circulation: building a critical engagement with logistics.

Does daily climate variation have an effect on species’ elevational range size? (2017)
Journal Article
Qian, H., Field, R., Zhang, J., & Zhang, Y. (2017). Does daily climate variation have an effect on species’ elevational range size?. Journal of Biogeography, 44(10), 2432-2436. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.13065

In their recent paper published in Science (2016, 351, 1437–1439), Chan et al. analysed 137 montane gradients, concluding that they found a novel pattern—a negative relationship between mean elevational range size of species and daily temperature var...

A 1000-yr record of environmental change in NE China indicated by diatom assemblages from maar lake Erlongwan (2012)
Journal Article
Wang, L., Rioual, P., Panizzo, V. N., Lu, H., Gu, Z., Chu, G., Yang, D., Han, J., Liu, J., & Mackay, A. W. (2012). A 1000-yr record of environmental change in NE China indicated by diatom assemblages from maar lake Erlongwan. Quaternary Research, 78(1), 24-34. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yqres.2012.03.006

Past environmental changes based on diatom relative abundances have been inferred from the maar Lake Erlongwan in northeast China. The limnology of Lake Erlongwan is affected by the strongly seasonal regional climate. The composition of diatom assemb...
