The structure of volcanic cristobalite in relation to its toxicity; relevance for the variable crystalline silica hazard (2012)
Journal Article
Horwell, C., Williamson, B., Donaldson, K., Le Blond, J., Damby, D., & Bowen, L. (2012). The structure of volcanic cristobalite in relation to its toxicity; relevance for the variable crystalline silica hazard. Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 9, Article 44. https://doi.org/10.1186/1743-8977-9-44

Background: Respirable crystalline silica (RCS) continues to pose a risk to human health worldwide. Its variable toxicity depends on inherent characteristics and external factors which influence surface chemistry. Significant population exposure to R...

Cost thresholds, cut-offs and sensitivities in stated choice analysis: identification and implications. (2012)
Journal Article
Campbell, D., Hensher, D., & Scarpa, R. (2012). Cost thresholds, cut-offs and sensitivities in stated choice analysis: identification and implications. Resource and Energy Economics, 34(3), 396-411. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.reseneeco.2012.04.001

Within the discrete choice literature, there is growing recognition that some respondents do not process all attributes when evaluating their choice outcomes. Worryingly, the cost attribute is often among those attributes that are likely to be ignore...

Fine-scale regional climate patterns in the Guianas, tropical South America, based on observations and reanalysis data (2012)
Journal Article
Bovolo, C. I., Pereira, R., Parkin, G., Kilsby, C., & Wagner, T. (2012). Fine-scale regional climate patterns in the Guianas, tropical South America, based on observations and reanalysis data. International Journal of Climatology, 32(11), 1665-1689. https://doi.org/10.1002/joc.2387

The dense, intact rainforests of the Guianas (northern Amazonia) are important for the regulation of the local and regional climate, but preclude easy access so a large data gap exists. The rainforest–savannah boundary may also be particularly suscep...

Investigation of the reduction in uncertainty due to soil variability when conditioning a random field using Kriging (2012)
Journal Article
Lloret-Cabot, M., Hicks, M. A., & van den Eijnden, A. P. (2012). Investigation of the reduction in uncertainty due to soil variability when conditioning a random field using Kriging. Géotechnique Letters, 2(3), 123-127. https://doi.org/10.1680/geolett.12.00022

Spatial variability of soil properties is inherent in soil deposits, whether as a result of natural geological processes or engineering construction. It is therefore important to account for soil variability in geotechnical design in order to represe...
