Social tipping points and Earth systems dynamics (2014)
Journal Article
Bentley, R., Maddison, E., Ranner, P., Bissell, J., Caiado, C., Bhatanacharoen, P., …Garnett, P. (2014). Social tipping points and Earth systems dynamics. Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2, Article 35. https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2014.00035

Recently, Early Warning Signals (EWS) have been developed to predict tipping points in Earth Systems. This discussion highlights the potential to apply EWS to human social and economic systems, which may also undergo similar critical transitions. Soc...

A comparison of three simple approaches to identify critical areas for runoff and dissolved reactive phosphorus losses (2014)
Journal Article
Hahn, C., Prasuhn, V., Stamm, C., Milledge, D., & Schulin, R. (2014). A comparison of three simple approaches to identify critical areas for runoff and dissolved reactive phosphorus losses. Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 18(8), 2975-2991. https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-18-2975-2014

Diffuse phosphorus (P) losses are the main cause for eutrophication of surface waters in many regions. Implementing mitigation measures on critical source areas (CSAs) is seen to be the most effective way to reduce P losses. Thus, tools are needed th...

The positive pharmacy care law: an area-level analysis of the relationship between community pharmacy distribution, urbanity and social deprivation in England (2014)
Journal Article
Todd, A., Copeland, A., Husband, A., Kasim, A., & Bambra, C. (2014). The positive pharmacy care law: an area-level analysis of the relationship between community pharmacy distribution, urbanity and social deprivation in England. BMJ Open, 4(8), Article e005764. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2014-005764

Objectives: To: (1) determine the percentage of the population in England that have access to a community pharmacy within 20 min walk; (2) explore any relationship between the walking distance and urbanity; (3) explore any relationship between the wa...

A systematic review of the effectiveness of individual, community and societal level interventions at reducing socioeconomic inequalities in obesity amongst children (2014)
Journal Article
Hillier-Brown, F., Bambra, C., Cairns, J., Kasim, A., Moore, H., & Summerbell, C. (2014). A systematic review of the effectiveness of individual, community and societal level interventions at reducing socioeconomic inequalities in obesity amongst children. BMC Public Health, 14, Article 834. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2458-14-834

Background: Tackling childhood obesity is one of the major contemporary public health policy challenges and vital in terms of addressing socioeconomic health inequalities. We aimed to systematically review studies of the effectiveness of intervention...

Scenarios help build a shared understanding of potential futures and allow us to engage with how interventions or activities may impact on people and the environment. There are many scenario sets that have been developed at the global and regional le... Read More about Our common future? Cross-scalar scenario analysis for social-ecological sustainability of the Guiana Shield, South America.

Reconstruction of ice-sheet changes in the Antarctic Peninsula since the Last Glacial Maximum (2014)
Journal Article

This paper compiles and reviews marine and terrestrial data constraining the dimensions and configuration of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet (APIS) from the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) through deglaciation to the present day. These data are used to... Read More about Reconstruction of ice-sheet changes in the Antarctic Peninsula since the Last Glacial Maximum.

Pluralising climate change and migration: an argument in favour of open futures (2014)
Journal Article
Baldwin, A. (2014). Pluralising climate change and migration: an argument in favour of open futures. Geography Compass, 8(8), 516-528. https://doi.org/10.1111/gec3.12145

This paper contextualises the relation between climate change and human migration using the concepts of neoliberalism, sovereignty and otherness. The paper is intended to provide a general account of climate change and migration research, which seeks...

Quantifying submerged fluvial topography using hyperspatial resolution UAS imagery and structure from motion photogrammetry (2014)
Journal Article
Woodget, A., Carbonneau, P., Visser, F., & Maddock, I. (2014). Quantifying submerged fluvial topography using hyperspatial resolution UAS imagery and structure from motion photogrammetry. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 40(1), 47-64. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3613

Quantifying the topography of rivers and their associated bedforms has been a fundamental concern of fluvial geomorphology for decades. Such data, acquired at high temporal and spatial resolutions, are increasingly in demand for process-oriented inve...

Everyday terrorism: connecting domestic violence and global terrorism (2014)
Journal Article
Pain, R. (2014). Everyday terrorism: connecting domestic violence and global terrorism. Progress in Human Geography, 38(4), 531-550. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309132513512231

This paper remaps the geographies of terrorism. Everyday terrorism (domestic violence) and global terrorism are related attempts to exert political control through fear. Geographical research on violence neatly reflects the disproportionate recogniti... Read More about Everyday terrorism: connecting domestic violence and global terrorism.
