Journal Article
Davies, S. J., Metcalfe, S. E., Aston, B. J., Byrne, A. R., Champagne, M. R., Jones, M. D., …Noren, A. (2018). A 6,000-year record of environmental change from the eastern Pacific margin of central Mexico. Quaternary Science Reviews, 202, 211-224. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.11.008

The transition from the mid- to late-Holocene in MesoAmerica saw increasing complexity in spatial patterns of change. Records from the western part of the region are sparse, with lacustrine sequences affected by long term anthropogenic disturbance or...

Global-scale proxy system modeling of oxygen isotopes in lacustrine carbonates: 2 new insights from isotope-enabled-model proxy-data comparison (2018)
Journal Article
Jones, M. D., & Dee, S. G. (2018). Global-scale proxy system modeling of oxygen isotopes in lacustrine carbonates: 2 new insights from isotope-enabled-model proxy-data comparison. Quaternary Science Reviews, 202, 19-29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.09.009

Proxy System Modelling (PSM) is now recognised as a crucial step in comparing climate model output with proxy records of past environmental change. PSMs filter the climate signal from the model, or from meteorological data, based on the physical, che...

Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change (2018)
Journal Article
Esquivel-Muelbert, A., Baker, T. R., Dexter, K. G., Lewis, S. L., Brienen, R., Feldpausch, T. R., …van der Heijden, G. (2019). Compositional response of Amazon forests to climate change. Global Change Biology, 25(1), 39-56. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.14413

Most of the planet’s diversity is concentrated in the tropics, which includes many regions undergoing rapid climate change. Yet, while climate-induced biodiversity changes are widely documented elsewhere, few studies have addressed this issue for low...

Models of upland species’ distributions are improved by accounting for geodiversity (2018)
Journal Article
Bailey, J. J., Boyd, D. S., & Field, R. (2018). Models of upland species’ distributions are improved by accounting for geodiversity. Landscape Ecology, 33(12), 2071-2087. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-018-0723-z

Context: Recent research suggests that novel geodiversity data on landforms, hydrology and surface materials can improve biodiversity models at the landscape scale by quantifying abiotic variability more effectively than commonly used measures of spa...

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...

What agricultural practices are most likely to deliver ‘sustainable intensification’ in the UK? (2018)
Journal Article
Dicks, L., Rose, D., Ang, F., Aston, S., Birch, A., Boatman, N., …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...
