Contrasting Response of West and East Antarctic Ice Sheets to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (2021)
Journal Article
Coulon, V., Bulthuis, K., Whitehouse, P. L., Sun, S., Haubner, K., Zipf, L., & Pattyn, F. (2021). Contrasting Response of West and East Antarctic Ice Sheets to Glacial Isostatic Adjustment. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 126(7), Article e2020JF006003. https://doi.org/10.1029/2020jf006003

The Antarctic ice sheet (AIS) lies on a solid Earth that displays large spatial variations in rheological properties, with a thin lithosphere and low-viscosity upper mantle (weak Earth structure) beneath West Antarctica and an opposing structure bene...

Towards a geography of voice-hearing (2021)
Journal Article
Nieuwenhuis, M., & Knoll, E. (2021). Towards a geography of voice-hearing. Emotion, Space and Society, 40(August), Article 100812. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.emospa.2021.100812

The social psychiatrists Marius Romme and Sandra Escher argue that boundaries are of critical importance in the therapeutic treatment of so-called ‘auditory verbal hallucinations’ (AVH), or, what is better known as, ‘hearing voices’. Limiting voices... Read More about Towards a geography of voice-hearing.

Roughness Calibration to Improve Flow Predictions in Coarse‐Bed Streams (2021)
Journal Article
Ferguson, R. I. (2021). Roughness Calibration to Improve Flow Predictions in Coarse‐Bed Streams. Water Resources Research, 57(6), Article e2021WR029979. https://doi.org/10.1029/2021wr029979

Logarithmic and variable-power equations that use the bed D84 grain size as a roughness metric reproduce the general trend of flow resistance in streams with coarse beds, but they are unreliable for predictions in individual reaches. For site-specifi... Read More about Roughness Calibration to Improve Flow Predictions in Coarse‐Bed Streams.

Archaeal Intact Polar Lipids in Polar Waters: A Comparison Between the Amundsen and Scotia Seas (2021)
Journal Article
Spencer-Jones, C. L., McClymont, E. L., Bale, N., Hopmans, E., Schouten, S., Muller, J., …Smith, J. (2021). Archaeal Intact Polar Lipids in Polar Waters: A Comparison Between the Amundsen and Scotia Seas. Biogeosciences, 18(11), 3485-3504. https://doi.org/10.5194/bg-18-3485-2021

The West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) is one of the largest potential sources of future sea-level rise, with glaciers draining the WAIS thinning at an accelerating rate over the past 40 years. Due to complexities in calibrating palaeoceanographic proxi... Read More about Archaeal Intact Polar Lipids in Polar Waters: A Comparison Between the Amundsen and Scotia Seas.

Repopulating density: Covid-19 and the politics of urban value (2021)
Journal Article
McFarlane, C. (2023). Repopulating density: Covid-19 and the politics of urban value. Urban Studies, 60(9), 1548-1569. https://doi.org/10.1177/00420980211014810

How might concepts of ‘value’ and ‘population’ illuminate the present and future of urban density? The Covid-19 pandemic prompted a public debate on density in the city. While some initially blamed density for the spread of the virus, others rightly... Read More about Repopulating density: Covid-19 and the politics of urban value.

Ancient DNA, lipid biomarkers and palaeoecological evidence reveals construction and life on early medieval lake settlements (2021)
Journal Article
Brown, A., Van Hardenbroek, M., Fonville, T., Davies, K., Mackay, H., Murray, E., …Alsos, I. (2021). Ancient DNA, lipid biomarkers and palaeoecological evidence reveals construction and life on early medieval lake settlements. Scientific Reports, 11(1), Article 11807. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-91057-x

Direct evidence of ancient human occupation is typically established through archaeological excavation. Excavations are costly and destructive, and practically impossible in some lake and wetland environments. We present here an alternative approach,...

Glacial landforms and sediments (landsystem) of the Smoking Hills area, NWT, Canada: implications for regional Pliocene-Pleistocene Laurentide Ice Sheet dynamics (2021)
Journal Article
Evans, D., Smith, I., Gosse, J., & Galloway, J. (2021). Glacial landforms and sediments (landsystem) of the Smoking Hills area, NWT, Canada: implications for regional Pliocene-Pleistocene Laurentide Ice Sheet dynamics. Quaternary Science Reviews, 262, 1-50. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2021.106958

The Smoking Hills area in the western Canadian Arctic was purported to contain a regionally rare Quaternary stratigraphic section with multiple, local ice cap-derived tills and a long chronology constrained by palaeomagnetic markers. We present a fun... Read More about Glacial landforms and sediments (landsystem) of the Smoking Hills area, NWT, Canada: implications for regional Pliocene-Pleistocene Laurentide Ice Sheet dynamics.

Exploring controls of the early and stepped deglaciation on the western margin of the British Irish Ice Sheet. Journal of Quaternary Science, 36(5), 833 - 870. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3315

New optically stimulated luminescence dating and Bayesian models integrating all legacy and BRITICE-CHRONO geochronology facilitated exploration of the controls on the deglaciation of two former sectors of the British–Irish Ice Sheet, the Donegal Bay...

Experiences of first-generation scholars at a highly selective UK university (2021)
Journal Article
Hindle, C., McEwan, C., Boliver, V., Maclarnon, A., Simpson, B., & Brown, H. (2021). Experiences of first-generation scholars at a highly selective UK university. Learning and Teaching, 14(2), 1-31. https://doi.org/10.3167/latiss.2021.140202

Targets set by the UK Office for Students require highly academically selective UK universities to enrol a greater percentage of students identified as least likely to participate in higher education. Such students are typically at a disadvantage in... Read More about Experiences of first-generation scholars at a highly selective UK university.
