Sub-decadal variations in outlet glacier terminus positions in Victoria Land, Oates Land and George V Land, East Antarctica (1972-2013) (2017)
Journal Article
Lovell, A., Stokes, C., & Jamieson, S. (2017). Sub-decadal variations in outlet glacier terminus positions in Victoria Land, Oates Land and George V Land, East Antarctica (1972-2013). Antarctic Science, 29(5), 468-483. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0954102017000074

Recent work has highlighted the sensitivity of marine-terminating glaciers to decadal-scale changes in the ocean–climate system in parts of East Antarctica. However, compared to Greenland, West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula, little is known...

Are spherulitic lacustrine carbonates an expression of large-scale mineral carbonation? A case study from the East Kirkton Limestone, Scotland (2017)
Journal Article
Rogerson, M., Mercedes-Martin, R., Brasier, A., McGill, R., Prior, T., Vonhof, H., …Pedley, M. (2017). Are spherulitic lacustrine carbonates an expression of large-scale mineral carbonation? A case study from the East Kirkton Limestone, Scotland. Gondwana Research, 48, 101-109. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gr.2017.04.007

Lacustrine carbonate deposits with spherulitic facies are poorly understood, but are key to understanding the economically important “Pre-Salt” Mesozoic strata of the South Atlantic. A major barrier to research into these unique and spectacular facie... Read More about Are spherulitic lacustrine carbonates an expression of large-scale mineral carbonation?

Analysis of the synoptic winter mortality climatology in five regions of England: Searching for evidence of weather signals (2017)
Journal Article
Paschalidou, A., Kassomenos, P., & McGregor, G. (2017). Analysis of the synoptic winter mortality climatology in five regions of England: Searching for evidence of weather signals. Science of the Total Environment, 598, 432-444. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2017.03.276

Although heat-related mortality has received considerable research attention, the impact of cold weather on public health is less well-developed, probably due to the fact that physiological responses to cold weather can vary substantially among indiv...

A numerical investigation into the importance of bed permeability on determining flow structures over river dunes (2017)
Journal Article
Sinha, S., Hardy, R., Blois, G., Best, J., & Sambrook Smith, G. (2017). A numerical investigation into the importance of bed permeability on determining flow structures over river dunes. Water Resources Research, 53(4), 3067-3086. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016wr019662

Although permeable sediments dominate the majority of natural environments past work concerning bedform dynamics has considered the bed to be impermeable, and has generally neglected flow between the hyporheic zone and boundary layer. Herein, we pres... Read More about A numerical investigation into the importance of bed permeability on determining flow structures over river dunes.

Quaternary International, 480, 118-131. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2017.03.049

The use of Acheulean (handaxe) typology as a cultural and temporal marker has been a topic of controversy in recent decades, with many archaeologists continuing to reject such an approach out of hand. Much of the controversy stems, however, from diff...
