Human settlement of East Polynesia earlier, incremental, and coincident with prolonged South Pacific drought (2020)
Journal Article
Sear, D. A., Allen, M. S., Hassall, J. D., Maloney, A. E., Langdon, P. G., Morrison, A. E., …Pearson, E. (2020). Human settlement of East Polynesia earlier, incremental, and coincident with prolonged South Pacific drought. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 117(16), 8813-8819. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1920975117

The timing of human colonization of East Polynesia, a vast area lying between Hawai‘i, Rapa Nui, and New Zealand, is much debated and the underlying causes of this great migration have been enigmatic. Our study generates evidence for human dispersal... Read More about Human settlement of East Polynesia earlier, incremental, and coincident with prolonged South Pacific drought.

‘All that is Solid … ’ (2020)
Journal Article
Knuth, S. (2020). ‘All that is Solid … ’. City: analysis of urban trends, culture, theory, policy, action, 24(1-2), 65-75. https://doi.org/10.1080/13604813.2020.1739903

As critical urbanists confront climate change, and prospective climate responses, we must ask crucial questions about the ‘lifetime’ of today’s urban fabrics and metropolitan forms. How durable or ephemeral will existing urban geographies prove in th... Read More about ‘All that is Solid … ’.

The glacial landsystem of Fjallsjökull, Iceland: Spatial and temporal evolution of process-form regimes at an active temperate glacier (2020)

The glacial landsystem of Fjallsjökull, Iceland: Spatial and temporal evolution of process-form regimes at an active temperate glacier. Geomorphology, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2020.107192

This study assesses the spatial and temporal evolution of the glacial landsystem signature at Fjallsjökull, southeast Iceland, using (a) mapping of the glacial geomorphology and surficial geology and (b) repeat uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) surveys....

Salt-marsh foraminiferal distributions from mainland northern Georgia, USA: an assessment of their viability for sea-level studies (2020)
Journal Article
Chen, H., Shaw, T., Wang, J., Engelhart, S., Nikitina, D., Pilarczyk, J., …Horton, B. (2020). Salt-marsh foraminiferal distributions from mainland northern Georgia, USA: an assessment of their viability for sea-level studies. Open Quaternary, 6(1), 1-19. https://doi.org/10.5334/oq.80

We investigated foraminiferal distributions from two salt-marsh sites at Thunderbolt and Georgetown, in mainland northern Georgia, U.S. Atlantic coast. We analyzed modern epifaunal foraminiferal assemblages across multiple transects consisting of 54...

Intermittent structural weakening and acceleration of the Thwaites Glacier Tongue between 2000 and 2018 (2020)
Journal Article
Miles, B., Stokes, C., Jenkins, A., Jordan, J., Jamieson, S., & Gudmundsson, G. (2020). Intermittent structural weakening and acceleration of the Thwaites Glacier Tongue between 2000 and 2018. Journal of Glaciology, 66(257), 485-495. https://doi.org/10.1017/jog.2020.20

Evolving conditions at the terminus of Thwaites Glacier will be important in determining the rate of its future sea-level contribution over the coming decades. Here, we use remote-sensing observations to investigate recent changes (2000–2018) in the...

Hong Kong citizens’ fierce and evolving struggles, developing from the summer of 2019 onwards, have spawned countless stories, protest tactics, sacrifices, and debates in Hong Kong society and beyond. In this article, we probe Hong Kong’s condition,... Read More about CityPsyche—Hong Kong.

Controls on jökulhlaup-transported buried ice melt-out at Skeiðarársandur, Iceland: Implications for the evolution of ice-marginal environments (2020)
Journal Article
Blauvelt, D. J., Russell, A. J., Large, A. R., Tweed, F. S., Hiemstra, J. F., Kulessa, B., …Waller, R. I. (2020). Controls on jökulhlaup-transported buried ice melt-out at Skeiðarársandur, Iceland: Implications for the evolution of ice-marginal environments. Geomorphology, 360, Article 107164. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2020.107164

High-magnitude jökulhlaups, glacier margin position and ice-thickness have been identified as key controls on sandur evolution. Existing models however have focused primarily on observations made during short windows of time and often do not account...

De/re-densification: a relational geography of urban density (2020)
Journal Article

In this article, I set out an approach to cities and urbanization through a relational geography of urban density. While density has long been central to the urban question, I argue for a focus on the relationship between densification, de-densificat...
