Water retention and characteristic curves representing tropical clay soils from Africa (2020)
Conference Proceeding
Alhaj, K., Biscontin, G., Elshafie, M., & Osman, A. (2020). Water retention and characteristic curves representing tropical clay soils from Africa. In R. Cardoso, C. Jommi, & E. Romero (Eds.), 4th European Conference on Unsaturated Soils (E-UNSAT 2020) proceedings. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202019501019

Soil water retention curves (SWRCs) form an essential component of frameworks coupling the hydromechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. The curves describe how suction changes with variables such as degree of saturation, void ratio and volumetric/...

The ABC of Soil Literacy - Evidence from Ghana, South Africa and Zimbabwe (2020)
Report
Johnson, K., Philip, D., & Engels, C. (2020). The ABC of Soil Literacy - Evidence from Ghana, South Africa and Zimbabwe. [No known commissioning body]

Climate change and soil health are intimately linked, as reflected in the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15. Land degradation is responsible for a significant proportion of all global greenhouse gas emissions (WGII, IPCC, 2007), t...

Sea Change: The World Ocean Circulation Experiment and the Productive Limits of Ocean Variability (2020)
Journal Article
Lehman, J. (2021). Sea Change: The World Ocean Circulation Experiment and the Productive Limits of Ocean Variability. Science, Technology, & Human Values, 46(4), 839-862. https://doi.org/10.1177/0162243920949932

The ability to quantify the relationship between the ocean and the atmosphere is an enduring challenge for global-scale science. This paper analyzes the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE, 1990–2002), an international oceanographic program that...

Characteristics and Mechanisms of Pb(II) Sorption onto Fe-rich waste Water Treatment Residue (WTR): A potential sustainable Pb immobilisation technology for soils (2020)
Journal Article
Findlay, N. C., Peacock, C. L., Hudson-Edwards, K. A., & Johnson, K. L. (2021). Characteristics and Mechanisms of Pb(II) Sorption onto Fe-rich waste Water Treatment Residue (WTR): A potential sustainable Pb immobilisation technology for soils. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 402, Article 123433. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2020.123433

Pb contamination of soils is a global problem. This paper discusses the ability of an Fe-rich waste, water treatment residual (WTR), to adsorb Pb(II). This was investigated using batch sorption experiments, X-ray diffraction, electron microprobe micr...

Timing of Little Ice Age maxima and subsequent glacier retreat in northern Troms and western Finnmark, northern Norway (2020)
Journal Article
Leigh, J., Stokes, C., Evans, D., Carr, R., & Andreassen, L. (2020). Timing of Little Ice Age maxima and subsequent glacier retreat in northern Troms and western Finnmark, northern Norway. Arctic, Antarctic, and Alpine Research, 52(1), 281-311. https://doi.org/10.1080/15230430.2020.1765520

Glaciers are important indicators of climate change, and recent observations worldwide document increasing rates of mountain glacier recession. Here we present approximately 200 years of change in mountain glacier extent in northern Troms and western...

Asset Securitizations and Bank Stability:Evidence from Different Banking Systems (2020)
Journal Article
Abdelsalam, O., Elnahass, M., Ahmed, H., & Williams, J. (2022). Asset Securitizations and Bank Stability:Evidence from Different Banking Systems. Global Finance Journal, 51, Article 100551. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gfj.2020.100551

The impact of asset securitization on the risk and performance (i.e. financial stability) of banks, both individually and systemically, is the subject of substantial debate by financial regulators and practitioners. This paper is the first to empiric... Read More about Asset Securitizations and Bank Stability:Evidence from Different Banking Systems.

The National Value of UNESCO Designations to the United Kingdom (2020)
Report
Fernandes, K., Rabagiliati, M., Fergen, A., & Goumagias, N. (2020). The National Value of UNESCO Designations to the United Kingdom. [No known commissioning body]

The UK’s network of UNESCO designations is adding significant value to our economy and society. With additional support, this value can be enhanced, and the full potential of the UK’s UNESCO designations realised. These are the key findings of this r...
