Journal Article
Stowell, P., Fargher, S., Thompson, L., Brown, A., & Chadwick, P. (2022). Gadolinium loaded Cherenkov detectors for neutron monitoring in high energy air showers. Journal of Instrumentation, 17(02), https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-0221/17/02/t02005

Monitoring of high energy cosmic ray neutrons is of particular interest for cosmic ray water Cherenkov detectors as intense bundles of delayed neutrons have been found to arrive after the initial passage of a high energy air shower. In this paper we... Read More about Gadolinium loaded Cherenkov detectors for neutron monitoring in high energy air showers.

In recent years, much of the public discourse regarding conflict in the Middle East has pondered the possibility of military intervention, but far less attention has been paid to the optimal mechanisms for conflict mediation. There remains considerab... Read More about Political Fragility and the Timing of Conflict Mediation.

Application of suction monitoring for cyclic triaxial testing of compacted soils (2022)
Journal Article

The performance of compacted soils that are used for the construction of railway embankments are impacted by weather-driven suction and water content fluctuations. Hence, the accurate measurement of the water retention properties of soil during cycli... Read More about Application of suction monitoring for cyclic triaxial testing of compacted soils.

Perceived access to PrEP as a critical step in engagement: A qualitative analysis and discrete choice experiment among young men who have sex with men (2022)
Journal Article

Perceived access to PrEP as a critical step in engagement: A qualitative analysis and discrete choice experiment among young men who have sex with men. PLoS ONE, 17(1), Article e0258530. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0258530

Young Men who have Sex with Men (MSM) continue to face disproportionate HIV risk. Despite its well accepted role in HIV prevention, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake remains below desired goals. Systemic barriers to PrEP access, including insura...

Trinity: An Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope to Search for Ultra-High-Energy Neutrinos (2021)
Conference Proceeding
Brown, A. M., Bagheri, M., Doro, M., Gazda, E., Kieda, D., Lin, C., …Wang, A. (2021). Trinity: An Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescope to Search for Ultra-High-Energy Neutrinos. In A. Kappes, & B. Keilhauer (Eds.), Proceedings of Science: ICRC 2021

Earth-skimming neutrinos are those which travel through the Earth’s crust at a shallow angle. For Ultra-High-Energy (E휈 > 1 PeV; UHE) earth-skimming tau neutrinos, there is a high-probability that the tau lepton created by a neutrino-Earth interacti...

In Search of a Fair Share: Article 112 Norwegian Constitution, International Law and an Emerging Inter-Jurisdictional Discourse in Climate Litigation (2021)
Journal Article
Minnerop, P., & Rostgaard, I. (2021). In Search of a Fair Share: Article 112 Norwegian Constitution, International Law and an Emerging Inter-Jurisdictional Discourse in Climate Litigation. Fordham international law journal, 44(4), 847-922

Climate change is a common sphere where an inter-jurisdictional judicial discourse gradually evolves. Engaging with the reasoning of other courts strengthens controversial judicial pronouncements in a complex area of law and it reduces the risk of be...

Some climate lawsuits qualify as landmark cases, because they either mark an unexpected turning point in environmental jurisprudence, or they introduce a new conceptual analysis of the law vis-à-vis the global challenge of climate change. The decisio... Read More about The Advance Interference-Like Effect of Climate Targets: Fundamental Rights, Intergenerational Equity and the German Federal Constitutional Court.

Volcanic air pollution and human health: recent advances and future directions (2021)
