Reinventing biological life, reinventing 'the human' (2010)
Journal Article
Johnson, E. R. (2010). Reinventing biological life, reinventing 'the human'. Ephemera, 10(2), 177-193

The techno-scientific framework known as biomimicry ‘reverse-engineers’ animal life to develop technologies and tactics that solve social and environmental problems. Its advocates have promised that it will spark a technological, environmental, and e... Read More about Reinventing biological life, reinventing 'the human'.

Hunting with Polar Bears: Problems with the Passive Properties of the Commons (2010)
Journal Article
Schmidt, J. J., & Dowsley, M. (2010). Hunting with Polar Bears: Problems with the Passive Properties of the Commons. Human Ecology, 38(3), 377-387. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10745-010-9328-0

Inuit in Canada’s Arctic conceptualize both human hunters and their polar bear prey as active participants in the hunt and as part of a larger socio-economic system requiring the involvement of both humans and animals. Although often treated through... Read More about Hunting with Polar Bears: Problems with the Passive Properties of the Commons.

Plot-scale effects on runoff and erosion along a slope degradation gradient (2010)
Journal Article
Moreno-de las Heras, M., Nicolau, J., Merino-Martín, L., & Wilcox, B. (2010). Plot-scale effects on runoff and erosion along a slope degradation gradient. Water Resources Research, 46(4), Article W04503. https://doi.org/10.1029/2009wr007875

[1] In Earth and ecological sciences, an important, crosscutting issue is the relationship between scale and the processes of runoff and erosion. In drylands, understanding this relationship is critical for understanding ecosystem functionality and d...

Morale and the Affective Geographies of the 'War on Terror' (2010)
Journal Article
Anderson, B. (2010). Morale and the Affective Geographies of the 'War on Terror'. cultural geographies, 17(2), 219-236. https://doi.org/10.1177/1474474010363849

This paper focuses on the relations between affect and military and security geographies. It argues that recent work on spaces of affect and emotion should be supplemented by research on how affects are known, rendered actionable and intervened on. T...

Tackling the wider social determinants of health and health inequalities: evidence from systematic reviews (2010)
Journal Article
Bambra, C., Gibson, M., Sowden, A., Wright, K., Whitehead, M., & Petticrew, M. (2010). Tackling the wider social determinants of health and health inequalities: evidence from systematic reviews. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 64(4), 284-291. https://doi.org/10.1136/jech.2008.082743

Background There is increasing pressure to tackle the wider social determinants of health through the implementation of appropriate interventions. However, turning these demands for better evidence about interventions around the social determinants o...

Micromorphological characteristics of glacimarine sediments: implications for distinguishing genetic processes of massive diamicts (2010)
Journal Article
Kilfeather, A., Ó Cofaigh, C., Dowdeswell, J., van der Meer, J., & Evans, D. (2010). Micromorphological characteristics of glacimarine sediments: implications for distinguishing genetic processes of massive diamicts. Geo-Marine Letters, 30(2), 77-97. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00367-009-0160-8

Glacimarine diamicts are produced by diverse processes, and genetic differentiation is often problematic using macro-sedimentological criteria alone. Micromorphology offers a potentially helpful tool in such investigations. Macroscopically massive di...

The evolution of the subglacial landscape of Antarctica (2010)
Journal Article
Jamieson, S., Sugden, D., & Hulton, N. (2010). The evolution of the subglacial landscape of Antarctica. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 293(1-2), 1-27. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2010.02.012

The aim is to investigate the evolution of the subglacial landscape of Antarctica using an ice sheet and erosion model. We identify different stages of continental glaciation and model the erosion processes associated with each stage. The model links...
