Time series analysis of long-term river dissolved organic carbon records (2004)
Journal Article
Worrall, F., & Burt, T. (2004). Time series analysis of long-term river dissolved organic carbon records. Hydrological Processes, 18(5), 893-911. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.1321

Two long records of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in river water were examined by a detailed time series analysis in order to shed light on the mechanisms generating observed increases in DOC concentrations across the UK. The records... Read More about Time series analysis of long-term river dissolved organic carbon records.

Regions unbound : towards a new politics of place (2004)
Journal Article
Amin, A. (2004). Regions unbound : towards a new politics of place. Geografiska Annaler: Series B, Human Geography, 86(1), 33-44. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.0435-3684.2004.00152.x

This paper proposes a non-territorial reading of a politics of place. Focusing on the politics of contemporary regionalism, it argues that globalisation and the general rise of a society of transnational flows and networks no longer allow a conceptua...

The evolution of slope failures: mechanisms of rupture propagation (2004)
Journal Article
Petley, D. (2004). The evolution of slope failures: mechanisms of rupture propagation. Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 4(1), 147-152

Forecasting the occurrence of large, catastrophic slope failures remains very problematic. It is clear that in order advance this field a greater understanding is needed of the processes through which failure occurs. In particular, there is a need to...

Recorded music and practices of remembering (2004)
Journal Article
Anderson, B. (2004). Recorded music and practices of remembering. Social and Cultural Geography, 5(1), 3-20. https://doi.org/10.1080/1464936042000181281

Despite a resurgence of work that has begun to examine critically the artefactual mediation of memory, very few accounts have focused upon the interconnections between recorded music and daily acts of remembering. Drawing upon in-depth case study-bas... Read More about Recorded music and practices of remembering.

Tectonic forcing of longitudinal valleys in the Himalaya: morphological analysis of the Ladakh Batholith, North India (2004)
Journal Article
Jamieson, S., Sinclair, H., Kirstein, L., & Purves, R. (2004). Tectonic forcing of longitudinal valleys in the Himalaya: morphological analysis of the Ladakh Batholith, North India. Geomorphology, 58(1-4), 49-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0169-555x%2803%2900185-5

Longitudinal valleys form first order topographic features in many mountain belts. They are commonly located along faults that separate tectonic zones with varying uplift histories. The Indus Valley of Ladakh, northern India, runs northwestwards foll...

River terrace sequences: templates for Quaternary geochronology and marine-terrestrial correlation (2004)
Journal Article
Bridgland, D., Maddy, D., & Bates, M. (2004). River terrace sequences: templates for Quaternary geochronology and marine-terrestrial correlation. Journal of Quaternary Science, 19(2), 203-218. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.819

Fluvial sequences, particularly terrace staircases, represent archives of Quaternary palaeoclimatic fluctuation and can serve as stratigraphical frameworks for geochronology and for correlation with other depositional environments, in particular, the...

Continuous GPS Measurements of Postglacial Adjustment in Fennoscandia, 2. Modeling Results (2004)
Journal Article
Milne, G., Mitrovica, J., Davis, J., Scherneck, H., Johansson, J., Koivula, H., & Vermeer, M. (2004). Continuous GPS Measurements of Postglacial Adjustment in Fennoscandia, 2. Modeling Results. Journal of Geophysical Research, 109, https://doi.org/10.1029/2003jb002619

Data collected under the auspices of the BIFROST GPS project yield a geographically dense suite of estimates of present-day, three-dimensional (3-D) crustal deformation rates in Fennoscandia [ Johansson et al., 2002 ]. A preliminary forward analysis... Read More about Continuous GPS Measurements of Postglacial Adjustment in Fennoscandia, 2. Modeling Results.

On estimating length fluctuations of glaciers caused by changes in climatic forcing (2004)
Journal Article
Leysinger Vieli, G., & Gudmundsson, G. (2004). On estimating length fluctuations of glaciers caused by changes in climatic forcing. Journal of Geophysical Research, 109, https://doi.org/10.1029/2003jf000027

The reaction of alpine glaciers to shifts in the equilibrium line altitude (ELA) is calculated by using a two-dimensional numerical model to solve the full equations for the velocity and stress fields (full-system model) in the absence of basal motio...

The right tool for the job? Modeling, spatial relationships, and styles of scientific practice in the UK foot and mouth crisis (2004)
Journal Article
Bickerstaff, K., & Simmons, P. (2004). The right tool for the job? Modeling, spatial relationships, and styles of scientific practice in the UK foot and mouth crisis. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 22(3), 393-412. https://doi.org/10.1068/d344t

In this paper we explore the expert controversy over the management of a major rural risk issue, the foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreak that affected the United Kingdom in 2001, and in particular the role of predictive epidemiological modeling in...

Mid-Holocene sea-level highstand along the Southeast Coast of China (2004)
Journal Article
Zong, Y. (2004). Mid-Holocene sea-level highstand along the Southeast Coast of China. Quaternary International, 117(1), 55-67. https://doi.org/10.1016/s1040-6182%2803%2900116-2

Various sea-level curves have been proposed for the coast of China in the past two decades. These sea-level curves indicate a complex history of Holocene sea level, and so the debate on whether or not a higher mid-Holocene sea-level highstand exists...
