Integrating suspended sediment flux in large alluvial river channels: Application of a synoptic Rouse‐based model to the Irrawaddy and Salween rivers (2020)
Journal Article
Baronas, J. J., Stevenson, E. I., Hackney, C. R., Darby, S. E., Bickle, M. J., Hilton, R. G., …Tipper, E. T. (2020). Integrating suspended sediment flux in large alluvial river channels: Application of a synoptic Rouse‐based model to the Irrawaddy and Salween rivers. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 125(9), https://doi.org/10.1029/2020jf005554

A large portion of freshwater and sediment is exported to the ocean by a small number 22 of major rivers. Many of these mega-rivers are subject to substantial anthropogenic pres23 sures, which are having a major impact on water and sediment delivery...

Montane forest expansion at high elevations drives rapid reduction in non‐forest area, despite no change in mean forest elevation (2020)
Journal Article
Morley, P. J., Donoghue, D. N., Chen, J., & Jump, A. S. (2020). Montane forest expansion at high elevations drives rapid reduction in non‐forest area, despite no change in mean forest elevation. Journal of Biogeography, 47(11), 2405-2416. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.13951

Aim: At the elevational limit of forest distribution, montane forests show diverse responses to environmental change with upward shifts, increased tree density and lateral expansion reported. To enable informed analysis of the consequences forest adv...

The role of innovation in advancing understanding of hydrological processes (2020)
Journal Article
Bracken, L. J., Cockshut, L., Taylor, J., & Cotterill, S. (2020). The role of innovation in advancing understanding of hydrological processes. Hydrological Processes, 34(23), 4404-4416. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.13890

Innovation and understanding hydrological processes are intimately linked. Existing research has demonstrated the role of technological, societal and political drivers in shaping and delivering new understandings in hydrological processes. In this pa...

Middens, Waste Disposal, and Health at Çatalhöyük (2020)
Journal Article
Shillito, L., & Mackay, H. (2020). Middens, Waste Disposal, and Health at Çatalhöyük. Near Eastern Archaeology, 83(3), 168-174. https://doi.org/10.1086/710134

The transition from a mobile hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a settled way of living is one of the most significant processes in human history. There were undeniable benefits to this process, with increased food security and longer lifespans, but there... Read More about Middens, Waste Disposal, and Health at Çatalhöyük.

Being Earthbound: Arendt, Process, and Alienation in the Anthropocene (2020)
Journal Article
Belcher, O., & Schmidt, J. J. (2020). Being Earthbound: Arendt, Process, and Alienation in the Anthropocene. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 39(1), 103-120. https://doi.org/10.1177/0263775820953855

Hannah Arendt developed a twofold account of ‘being earthbound’ directly relevant to Anthropocene debates regarding the political. For Arendt, both senses of ‘being earthbound’ arose as humans began to act into nature, not merely upon it. The first s...

Silver linings and wishful thinking? More than human geographies of the coronavirus (2020)
Journal Article
Royle, C. (2020). Silver linings and wishful thinking? More than human geographies of the coronavirus. Human geography, 13(3), 310-313. https://doi.org/10.1177/1942778620953694

The COVID-19 pandemic and the associated worldwide lockdown measures have several implications for geographical understandings of society–nature relations and of animal life. For some, the temporary lowering of carbon dioxide emissions during the loc... Read More about Silver linings and wishful thinking? More than human geographies of the coronavirus.

Does Arctic warming reduce preservation of organic matter in Barents Sea sediments? (2020)
Journal Article
Faust, J. C., Stevenson, M. A., Abbott, G. D., Knies, J., Tessin, A., Mannion, I., …März, C. (2020). Does Arctic warming reduce preservation of organic matter in Barents Sea sediments?. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 378(2181), Article 20190364. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2019.0364

Over the last few decades, the Barents Sea experienced substantial warming, an expansion of relatively warm Atlantic water and a reduction in sea ice cover. This environmental change forces the entire Barents Sea ecosystem to adapt and restructure an... Read More about Does Arctic warming reduce preservation of organic matter in Barents Sea sediments?.
