Journal Article
Adams, C., Muir, S., & Hoque, Z. (2014). Measurement of sustainability performance in the public sector. Sustainability Accounting, Management and Policy Journal, 5(1), 46-67. https://doi.org/10.1108/sampj-04-2012-0018

Purpose – This article identifies current performance measurement practice within state, territory and federal government departments in Australia with a particular emphasis on the importance of sustainability performance measures. Whilst voluntary s... Read More about Measurement of sustainability performance in the public sector..

Recent retreat of major outlet glaciers on Novaya Zemlya, Russian Arctic, influenced by fjord geometry and sea-ice conditions (2014)
Journal Article
Carr, J., Stokes, C., & Vieli, A. (2014). Recent retreat of major outlet glaciers on Novaya Zemlya, Russian Arctic, influenced by fjord geometry and sea-ice conditions. Journal of Glaciology, 60(219), 155-170. https://doi.org/10.3189/2014jog13j122

Substantial ice loss has occurred in the Russian High Arctic during the past decade, predominantly on Novaya Zemlya, yet the region has been studied relatively little. Consequently, the factors forcing mass loss and the relative contribution of ice d...

Increased channelization of subglacial drainage during deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet (2014)
Journal Article
Storrar, R., Stokes, C., & Evans, D. (2014). Increased channelization of subglacial drainage during deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet. Geology, 42(3), 239-242. https://doi.org/10.1130/g35092.1

The configuration of subglacial meltwater is a critical control on ice sheet dynamics, and the presence of pressurized water distributed across the bed can induce dynamic instabilities. However, this process can be offset by efficient evacuation of w... Read More about Increased channelization of subglacial drainage during deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.

A Semi-analytical solution for consolidation around a spherical cavity in an elasto-plastic medium and its potential application for tunneling (2014)
Journal Article
Osman, A., & Rouainia, M. (2014). A Semi-analytical solution for consolidation around a spherical cavity in an elasto-plastic medium and its potential application for tunneling. International Journal of Computational Methods, 11(02), Article 1342010. https://doi.org/10.1142/s0219876213420103

An analytical solution for consolidation around spherical cavity contraction is developed. This solution has the potential to evaluate consolidation around tunnel heads. The initial excess pore water pressure immediately after the creation of the cav...

Healthy land? An examination of the area-level association between brownfield land and morbidity and mortality in England (2014)
Journal Article
Bambra, C., Robertson, S., Kasim, A., Smith, J., Cairns-Nagi, J., Copeland, A., …Johnson, K. (2014). Healthy land? An examination of the area-level association between brownfield land and morbidity and mortality in England. Environment and Planning A, 46(2), 433-454. https://doi.org/10.1068/a46105

It is increasingly understood that the physical environment remains an important determinant of area-level health and spatial and socioeconomic health inequalities. Existing research has largely focused on the health effects of differential access to... Read More about Healthy land? An examination of the area-level association between brownfield land and morbidity and mortality in England.
