Everyday Brexits (2017)
Journal Article
Anderson, B., & Wilson, H. (2018). Everyday Brexits. Area, 50(2), 291-295. https://doi.org/10.1111/area.12385

In this commentary we explore how geographers might respond to the event of ‘Brexit’ – the decision and process of the United Kingdom to leave the European Union after the referendum of 23 June 2016. Although it is necessary to understand the ways in... Read More about Everyday Brexits.

Scale-dependent erosional patterns in steady-state and transient-state landscapes (2017)
Journal Article
Tejedor, A., Singh, A., Zaliapin, I., Densmore, A., & Foufoula-Georgiou, E. (2017). Scale-dependent erosional patterns in steady-state and transient-state landscapes. Science Advances, 3(9), Article e1701683. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.1701683

Landscape topography is the expression of the dynamic equilibrium between external forcings (for example, climate and tectonics) and the underlying lithology. The magnitude and spatial arrangement of erosional and depositional fluxes dictate the evol... Read More about Scale-dependent erosional patterns in steady-state and transient-state landscapes.

Diatom distribution in an alpine basin (central China) in relation to environmental factors and substrata (2017)
Journal Article
Chen, X., Stevenson, M. A., Zeng, L., & Qiao, Q. (2017). Diatom distribution in an alpine basin (central China) in relation to environmental factors and substrata. Diatom Research, 32(3), 251-262. https://doi.org/10.1080/0269249x.2017.1371082

This study examines the habitat preferences of diatom species for bogs, ponds and streams, and explores the effects of environmental variables and substrata on diatom distribution in an alpine basin (Dajiuhu Basin, central China). Ponds and streams w... Read More about Diatom distribution in an alpine basin (central China) in relation to environmental factors and substrata.

Submarine landform assemblages and sedimentary processes in front of Spitsbergen tidewater glaciers (2017)
Journal Article
Streuff, K., Ó Cofaigh, C., Noormets, R., & Lloyd, J. (2018). Submarine landform assemblages and sedimentary processes in front of Spitsbergen tidewater glaciers. Marine Geology, 402, 209-227. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2017.09.006

New swath-bathymetric data from the inner parts of the three Svalbard fjords Ymerbukta, Trygghamna, and Magdalenefjorden reveal the landform assemblages deposited in front of tidewater glaciers in west and northwest Spitsbergen. Overridden moraines i... Read More about Submarine landform assemblages and sedimentary processes in front of Spitsbergen tidewater glaciers.

Rapid post-earthquake modelling of coseismic landsliding intensity and distribution for emergency response decision support (2017)
Journal Article
Robinson, T., Rosser, N., Densmore, A., Williams, J., Kincey, M., Benjamin, J., & Bell, H. (2017). Rapid post-earthquake modelling of coseismic landsliding intensity and distribution for emergency response decision support. Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 17(9), 1521-1540. https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-17-1521-2017

Current methods to identify coseismic landslides immediately after an earthquake using optical imagery are too slow to effectively inform emergency response activities. Issues with cloud cover, data collection and processing, and manual landslide ide...

Highly variable Pliocene sea surface conditions in the Norwegian Sea (2017)
Journal Article
Bachem, P. E., Risebrobakken, B., De Schepper, S., & McClymont, E. L. (2017). Highly variable Pliocene sea surface conditions in the Norwegian Sea. Climate of the Past, 13(9), 1153-1168. https://doi.org/10.5194/cp-13-1153-2017

The Pliocene was a time of global warmth with small sporadic glaciations, which transitioned towards the larger-scale Pleistocene glacial–interglacial variability. Here, we present high-resolution records of sea surface temperature (SST) and ice-raft... Read More about Highly variable Pliocene sea surface conditions in the Norwegian Sea.

Exceptional retreat of Novaya Zemlya's marine-terminating outlet glaciers between 2000 and 2013 (2017)
Journal Article
Carr, J. R., Bell, H., Killick, R., & Holt, T. (2017). Exceptional retreat of Novaya Zemlya's marine-terminating outlet glaciers between 2000 and 2013. The Cryosphere, 11(5), 2149-2174. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-11-2149-2017

Novaya Zemlya (NVZ) has experienced rapid ice loss and accelerated marine-terminating glacier retreat during the past 2 decades. However, it is unknown whether this retreat is exceptional longer term and/or whether it has persisted since 2010. Invest...

Baffin Bay paleoenvironments in the LGM and HS1: Resolving the ice-shelf question (2017)
Journal Article
Jennings, A., Andrews, J., Ó Cofaigh, C., St-Onge, G., Belt, S., Cabedo-Sanz, P., …Campbell, C. (2018). Baffin Bay paleoenvironments in the LGM and HS1: Resolving the ice-shelf question. Marine Geology, 402, 5-16. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2017.09.002

Core HU2008029-12PC from the Disko trough mouth fan on the central West Greenland continental slope is used to test whether an ice shelf covered Baffin Bay during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and at the onset of the deglaciation. We use benthic and... Read More about Baffin Bay paleoenvironments in the LGM and HS1: Resolving the ice-shelf question.

A record of aerobic methane oxidation in tropical Africa over the last 2.5 Ma (2017)
Journal Article
Spencer-Jones, C., Wagner, T., & Talbot, H. (2017). A record of aerobic methane oxidation in tropical Africa over the last 2.5 Ma. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 218, 27-39. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2017.08.042

Methane and CO2 are climatically active greenhouse gases (GHG) and are powerful drivers of rapid global warming. Comparable to the Arctic, the tropics store large volumes of labile sedimentary carbon that is vulnerable to climate change. However, lit...
