Combining participatory mapping with Q-methodology to map stakeholder perceptions of complex environmental problems (2014)
Journal Article
Forrester, J., Cook, B., Bracken, L., Cinderby, S., & Donaldson, A. (2015). Combining participatory mapping with Q-methodology to map stakeholder perceptions of complex environmental problems. Applied Geography, 56, 199-208. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apgeog.2014.11.019

It is readily accepted that understanding socio-environmental challenges requires consideration of multiple stakeholder perspectives and knowledge claims. But a largely ignored question is ‘how best to analyse those competing perspectives and claims?...

Sediment connectivity: a framework for understanding sediment transfer at multiple scales (2014)
Journal Article
Bracken, L., Turnbull, L., Wainwright, J., & Bogaart, P. (2015). Sediment connectivity: a framework for understanding sediment transfer at multiple scales. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 40(2), 177-188. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3635

A major challenge for geomorphologists is to scale up small-magnitude processes to produce landscape form, yet existing approaches have been found to be severely limited. New ways to scale erosion and transfer of sediment are thus needed. This paper... Read More about Sediment connectivity: a framework for understanding sediment transfer at multiple scales.

Transdisciplinary research: understanding the stakeholder perspective (2014)
Journal Article
Bracken, L., Bulkeley, H., & Whitman, G. (2015). Transdisciplinary research: understanding the stakeholder perspective. Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 58(7), 1291-1308. https://doi.org/10.1080/09640568.2014.921596

It is accepted that the effective uptake of academic research into policy and practice requires the active involvement of stakeholders. However, understanding participation from the perspectives of stakeholders remains poorly understood. We show that...

How to make sense of our rivers: using assemblage to understand angling (2014)
Journal Article
Bracken, L., & Oughton, E. (2014). How to make sense of our rivers: using assemblage to understand angling. Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 1(3), 315-322. https://doi.org/10.1002/wat2.1025

Our freshwater habitats are under threat and governance of these systems is rapidly evolving. It is thus important to examine how we make sense of our rivers and how this understanding can underpin catchment management. Assemblage is one approach tha...

Micro-hydro power in the UK: The role of communities in an emerging energy resource (2014)
Journal Article
Bracken, L., Bulkeley, H., & Maynard, C. (2014). Micro-hydro power in the UK: The role of communities in an emerging energy resource. Energy Policy, 68, 92-101. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enpol.2013.12.046

Research around micro-hydro power is focused on technical aspects with limited understanding of the social organisation and environmental implications. We examine the ways in which micro-hydro is engaged by people and organisations as a means of cont...
