Introducing global peat-specific temperature and pH calibrations based on brGDGT bacterial lipids (2017)
Journal Article
Naafs, B., Inglis, G., Zheng, Y., Amesbury, M., Biester, H., Bindler, R., …Pancost, R. (2017). Introducing global peat-specific temperature and pH calibrations based on brGDGT bacterial lipids. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 208, 285-301. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2017.01.038

Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs) are membrane-spanning lipids from Bacteria and Archaea that are ubiquitous in a range of natural archives and especially abundant in peat. Previous work demonstrated that the distribution of bacterial bra... Read More about Introducing global peat-specific temperature and pH calibrations based on brGDGT bacterial lipids.

Navigating the city: dialectics of everyday urbanism (2017)
Journal Article
McFarlane, C., & Silver, J. (2017). Navigating the city: dialectics of everyday urbanism. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 42(3), 458-471. https://doi.org/10.1111/tran.12175

How might we conceptualise and research everyday urbanism? By examining the making of everyday life in a low-income neighbourhood in Uganda, we argue that a dialectics of everyday urbanism is a useful approach for understanding urban poverty. This di...

The control of earthquake sequences on hillslope stability (2017)
Journal Article
Brain, M., Rosser, N., & Tunstall, N. (2017). The control of earthquake sequences on hillslope stability. Geophysical Research Letters, 44(2), 865-872. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016gl071879

Earthquakes trigger landslides in mountainous regions. Recent research suggests that the stability of hillslopes during and after a large earthquake is influenced by legacy effects of previous seismic activity. However, the mechanisms that control hi...

Controls on Last Glacial Maximum ice extent in the Weddell Sea embayment, Antarctica (2017)
Journal Article
Whitehouse, P. L., Bentley, M. J., Vieli, A., Jamieson, S. S., Hein, A. S., & Sugden, D. E. (2017). Controls on Last Glacial Maximum ice extent in the Weddell Sea embayment, Antarctica. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 122(1), 371-397. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016jf004121

The Weddell Sea sector of the Antarctic Ice Sheet is hypothesized to have made a significant contribution to sea-level rise since the Last Glacial Maximum. Using a numerical flowline model we investigate the controls on grounding line motion across t...

Capitalizing on the crowd: The monetary and financial ecologies of crowdfunding (2017)
Journal Article
Langley, P., & Leyshon, A. (2017). Capitalizing on the crowd: The monetary and financial ecologies of crowdfunding. Environment and Planning A, 49(5), 1019-1039. https://doi.org/10.1177/0308518x16687556

‘Crowdfunding’ is a method of raising money and finance to capitalize projects of various kinds. Drawing on the networking capabilities of the internet and software platforms, those seeking project funding appeal to potentially diverse audiences who...

A description of interventions promoting healthier ready-to-eat meals (to eat in, to take away, or to be delivered) sold by specific food outlets in England: a systematic mapping and evidence synthesis (2017)
Journal Article
Hillier-Brown, F., Summerbell, C., Moore, H., Wrieden, W., Adams, J., Abraham, C., …Lake, A. (2017). A description of interventions promoting healthier ready-to-eat meals (to eat in, to take away, or to be delivered) sold by specific food outlets in England: a systematic mapping and evidence synthesis. BMC Public Health, 17, Article 93. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-016-3980-2

Background Ready-to-eat meals (to eat in, to take away or to be delivered) sold by food outlets are often more energy dense and nutrient poor compared with meals prepared at home, making them a reasonable target for public health intervention. The ai...

Unusual geologic evidence of coeval seismic shaking and tsunamis shows variability in earthquake size and recurrence in the area of the giant 1960 Chile earthquake (2017)
Journal Article
Cisternas, M., Garrett, E., Wesson, R., Dura, T., & Ely, L. (2017). Unusual geologic evidence of coeval seismic shaking and tsunamis shows variability in earthquake size and recurrence in the area of the giant 1960 Chile earthquake. Marine Geology, 385, 101-113. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2016.12.007

An uncommon coastal sedimentary record combines evidence for seismic shaking and coincident tsunami inundation since AD 1000 in the region of the largest earthquake recorded instrumentally: the giant 1960 southern Chile earthquake (Mw 9.5). The recor... Read More about Unusual geologic evidence of coeval seismic shaking and tsunamis shows variability in earthquake size and recurrence in the area of the giant 1960 Chile earthquake.

Debt space: topologies, ecologies and Ramallah, Palestine (2017)
Journal Article
Harker, C. (2017). Debt space: topologies, ecologies and Ramallah, Palestine. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 35(4), 600-619. https://doi.org/10.1177/0263775816686973

Debt is widely conceived as temporal – present consumption bought with future labour. This paper advances conceptualisations of debt by incorporating the active role space plays in creating, maintaining and undermining debt relations. Debts are topol...
