What Happened to the Second World? Earthquakes and Postsocialism in Kazakhstan (2019)
Journal Article
Bankoff, G., & Oven, K. (2019). What Happened to the Second World? Earthquakes and Postsocialism in Kazakhstan. Disasters, https://doi.org/10.1111/disa.12362

There is an assumption that with the disintegration of the USSR the Second World ceased to exist. Yet the demise of the Communist bloc as a geopolitical reality did not mean that it ceased to exert a defining influence over how people think and behav...

Reconstruction of daily rainfall data using the concepts of networks: Accounting for spatial connections in neighborhood selection (2019)
Journal Article
Tiwari, S., Kumar Jha, S., & Sivakumar, B. (2019). Reconstruction of daily rainfall data using the concepts of networks: Accounting for spatial connections in neighborhood selection. Journal of Hydrology, 579, Article 124185. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2019.124185

Accurate and reliable rainfall data is one of the fundamental prerequisites in hydrological modelling. The rainfall data at a desired location can be reconstructed using interpolation methods, such as Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW), which is freque...

Benchmarking the predictive capability of hydrological models for river flow and flood peak predictions across over 1000 catchments in Great Britain (2019)
Journal Article
Lane, R. A., Coxon, G., Freer, J. E., Wagener, T., Johnes, P. J., Bloomfield, J. P., …Reaney, S. M. (2019). Benchmarking the predictive capability of hydrological models for river flow and flood peak predictions across over 1000 catchments in Great Britain. Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 23(10), 4011-4032. https://doi.org/10.5194/hess-23-4011-2019

Benchmarking model performance across large samples of catchments is useful to guide model selection and future model development. Given uncertainties in the observational data we use to drive and evaluate hydrological models, and uncertainties in th...

Amenazas de origen natural y exposición de obras de conectividad estratégica en territorios extremos. Fiordo Comau, Norpatagonia de Chile (2019)
Journal Article
Soto, M. V., Arratia, P., Cabello, M., Moreno, R., & Whyndam, K. (in press). Amenazas de origen natural y exposición de obras de conectividad estratégica en territorios extremos. Fiordo Comau, Norpatagonia de Chile. Revista de geografía Norte Grande (En línea), https://doi.org/10.4067/s0718-34022019000200057

The conditions of natural hazards and exposure of economic activities in a norpatagonic fjord, an extreme territory in continental Chiloé, was analyzed due to the lack of terrestrial communication routes. Although the population is scarce, not the ec... Read More about Amenazas de origen natural y exposición de obras de conectividad estratégica en territorios extremos.

Cross-currents and undertows: A response (2019)
Journal Article
Steinberg, P., & Peters, K. (2019). Cross-currents and undertows: A response. Dialogues in Human Geography, 9(3), 333-338. https://doi.org/10.1177/2043820619879521

In our response, we address two themes that appear in several of the commentaries. First, we elaborate on our decision to maintain a focus on the ocean, rather than turning to a term that speaks more clearly to geographic categories (e.g. the sea), e...

New flow relaxation mechanism explains scour fields at the end of submarine channels (2019)
Journal Article
Pohl, F., Eggenhuisen, J., Tilston, M., & Cartigny, M. (2019). New flow relaxation mechanism explains scour fields at the end of submarine channels. Nature Communications, 10(1), Article 4425. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-12389-x

Particle-laden gravity flows, called turbidity currents, flow through river-like channels across the ocean floor. These submarine channels funnel sediment, nutrients, pollutants and organic carbon into ocean basins and can extend for over 1000’s of k...

The transport and mass balance of fallout radionuclides in Brotherswater, Cumbria (UK) (2019)
Journal Article
Appleby, P., Semertzidou, P., Piliposian, G., Chiverrell, R., Schillereff, D., & Warburton, J. (2019). The transport and mass balance of fallout radionuclides in Brotherswater, Cumbria (UK). Journal of Paleolimnology, 62(4), 389-407. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-019-00095-z

This paper investigates the role of intervening transport processes on lake sediment records of the atmospherically deposited radionuclides 210Pb and 137Cs. Brotherswater is of particular interest to this issue in that its large catchment/lake area r...

Widespread distribution of supraglacial lakes around the margin of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (2019)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Sanderson, J., Miles, B., Jamieson, S., & Leeson, A. (2019). Widespread distribution of supraglacial lakes around the margin of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. Scientific Reports, 9, Article 13823. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-019-50343-5

Supraglacial lakes are important to ice sheet mass balance because their development and drainage has been linked to changes in ice flow velocity and ice shelf disintegration. However, little is known about their distribution on the world’s largest i... Read More about Widespread distribution of supraglacial lakes around the margin of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
