Border Theatre: On the arts of security and resistance (2010)
Journal Article
Amoore, L., & Hall, A. (2010). Border Theatre: On the arts of security and resistance. cultural geographies, 17(3), 299-319. https://doi.org/10.1177/1474474010368604

This essay addresses the conditions and limits of artistic interventions in the contemporary landscape of border security. It argues that the theatrical rituals of border security — scanning, screening, verifying identity — have become domesticated a...

Reconstructing recent relative sea-level changes in West Greenland: local diatom-based transfer functions are superior to regional models (2010)
Journal Article
Woodroffe, S., & Long, A. (2010). Reconstructing recent relative sea-level changes in West Greenland: local diatom-based transfer functions are superior to regional models. Quaternary International, 222(1-2), 91-103. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2009.06.005

We present the results of an investigation into the potential of salt marshes in the Aasiaat area, West Greenland, for recent relative sea-level (RSL) reconstruction. We use 64 modern diatom samples to develop a transfer function that has a RMSEP of...

Employability initiatives are becoming increasingly popular in government discourse as a means of tackling worklessness. Here we discuss the findings of a small-scale, qualitative study which mapped the impacts of a multi-intervention programme on pa...

Hydrology, erosion and nutrient transfers over a transition from semi-arid grassland to shrubland in the South-Western USA: A modelling assessment (2010)
Journal Article
Turnbull, L., Wainwright, J., & Brazier, R. (2010). Hydrology, erosion and nutrient transfers over a transition from semi-arid grassland to shrubland in the South-Western USA: A modelling assessment. Journal of Hydrology, 388(3-4), 258-272. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2010.05.005

Land degradation in arid and semi-arid areas, as a consequence of the invasion of grasslands by shrubs, is often associated with an increase in runoff and erosion and a change in nutrient transport. Modelling of nutrient transport during runoff event...
