What controls the location of ice streams? (2010)
Journal Article
Winsborrow, M., Clark, C., & Stokes, C. (2010). What controls the location of ice streams?. Earth-Science Reviews, 103(1-2), 45-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2010.07.003

Ice streams influence ice sheet mass balance and stability but key aspects of their behaviour remain poorly understood. This paper reviews and discusses one very important aspect: what controls their location in an ice sheet? Seven potential controls... Read More about What controls the location of ice streams?.

Ice streaming in the Laurentide Ice Sheet: A first comparison between data-calibrated numerical model output and geological evidence (2010)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., & Tarasov, L. (2010). Ice streaming in the Laurentide Ice Sheet: A first comparison between data-calibrated numerical model output and geological evidence. Geophysical Research Letters, 37(1), Article L01501. https://doi.org/10.1029/2009gl040990

[1] Despite the importance of rapidly-flowing ice streams to ice sheet mass balance, their incorporation into numerical ice sheet models is a major scientific challenge. This introduces large uncertainties in model output and inhibits a more complete...

Erosional processes in the hard rock coastal cliffs at Staithes, North Yorkshire (2010)
Journal Article
Lim, M., Rosser, N., Allison, R., & Petley, D. (2010). Erosional processes in the hard rock coastal cliffs at Staithes, North Yorkshire. Geomorphology, 114(1-2), 12-21. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2009.02.011

The processes of change on near-vertical coastal cliffs have been quantified using terrestrial photogrammetry and laser scanning. The approach allows discrete rockfall geometry to be measured, and source located in three dimensions. This paper presen...

An assessment of fluting and “till esker” formation on the foreland of Sandfellsjökull, Iceland (2010)
Journal Article
Evans, D., Nelson, C., & Webb, C. (2010). An assessment of fluting and “till esker” formation on the foreland of Sandfellsjökull, Iceland. Geomorphology, 114(3), 453-465. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2009.08.016

Intensive sedimentological analysis of tills, parallel-sided flutings, and a conduit fill (till esker) on the recently deglaciated foreland of Sandfellsjökull (a temperate, actively receding piedmont lobe draining the eastern margin of the Mýrdalsjök...

The performance of liquidity in the subprime mortgage crisis (2010)
Journal Article
Langley, P. (2010). The performance of liquidity in the subprime mortgage crisis. New Political Economy, 15(1), 71-89. https://doi.org/10.1080/13563460903553624

‘Liquidity’ is highly significant to representations of the crisis that gripped financial markets from the summer of 2007. A wide-ranging ‘liquidity crisis’ is typically traced to the collapse of prices in markets for assets backed by or derived from...

Inextinguishable fibres: demolition and the vital materialisms of asbestos (2010)
Journal Article
Gregson, N., Watkins, H., & Calestani, M. (2010). Inextinguishable fibres: demolition and the vital materialisms of asbestos. Environment and Planning A, 42(5), 1065-1083. https://doi.org/10.1068/a42123

This paper forwards a performative reading of asbestos in economies of disposal. It argues that materials need to be thought through transformative states, not just stable states, and that materials’ performativity varies according to material states...

The limits of responsibility: a postcolonial politics of academic knowledge production (2010)
Journal Article
Jazeel, T., & McFarlane, C. (2010). The limits of responsibility: a postcolonial politics of academic knowledge production. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 35(1), 109-124. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-5661.2009.00367.x

A range of recent debates in geography have considered responsibility and/or critical practice, including the connections between knowledge production, ethics and politics. Taking our cue from these debates, this paper explores the question and limit... Read More about The limits of responsibility: a postcolonial politics of academic knowledge production.

Researching technoscientific concerns in the making: narrative structures, public responses and emerging nanotechnologies (2010)
Journal Article
Macnaghten, P. (2010). Researching technoscientific concerns in the making: narrative structures, public responses and emerging nanotechnologies. Environment and Planning A, 42(1), 23-37. https://doi.org/10.1068/a41349

In this paper I engage with debates on technoscientific governance, narrative, and emergent public attitudes. Building on a piece of social research addressing public responses to the social and ethical dimensions of emerging nanotechnologies, I deve...

Welfare state regimes and population health: integrating the East Asian welfare states (2010)
Journal Article
Karim, S., Eikemo, T., & Bambra, C. (2010). Welfare state regimes and population health: integrating the East Asian welfare states. Health Policy, 94(1), 45-53. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.healthpol.2009.08.003

Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that population health varies significantly by welfare state regime. However, these studies have focused exclusively on the welfare states of Europe, North America and Australasia. This focus ignores th...
