The construction of a palaeodischarge time series for use in a study of fluvial system development of the Middle to Late Pleistocene Upper Thames. (2010)
Journal Article
Stemerdink, C., Maddy, D., Bridgland, D., & Veldkamp, A. (2010). The construction of a palaeodischarge time series for use in a study of fluvial system development of the Middle to Late Pleistocene Upper Thames. Journal of Quaternary Science, 25(4), https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.1375

Recently many studies have attempted to model fluvial system development over a variety of geographical and temporal scales. It is generally recognised that one of the main problems, especially in studies over longer timescales (>100 ka), is the reco...

Bulk organic δ13C and C/N as indicators for sediment sources in the Pearl River delta and estuary, southern China (2010)
Journal Article
Yu, F., Zong, Y., Lloyd, J., Huang, G., Leng, M., Kendrick, C., …Yim, W. (2010). Bulk organic δ13C and C/N as indicators for sediment sources in the Pearl River delta and estuary, southern China. Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 87(4), 618-630. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2010.02.018

Preservation of organic matter in estuarine and coastal areas is an important process in the global carbon cycle. This paper presents bulk d13C and C/N of organic matter from source to sink in the Pearl River catchment, delta and estuary, and discuss...

Large-scale reorganization and sedimentation of terrestrial ice streams during late Wisconsinan Laurentide Ice Sheet deglaciation (2010)
Journal Article
Ó Cofaigh, C., Evans, D., & Smith, I. (2010). Large-scale reorganization and sedimentation of terrestrial ice streams during late Wisconsinan Laurentide Ice Sheet deglaciation. GSA Bulletin, 122(5-6), 743-756. https://doi.org/10.1130/b26476.1

Glacial geomorphological mapping of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data from the western Canadian Prairies demonstrates that during the last (late Wisconsinan)deglaciation of the Laurentide Ice Sheet terrestrial ice streams underwent a major...

Diatoms from the Pearl River estuary, China and their suitability as a water salinity indicator for coastal environments (2010)
Journal Article
Zong, Y., Kemp, A., Yu, F., Lloyd, J., Huang, G., & Yim, W. (2010). Diatoms from the Pearl River estuary, China and their suitability as a water salinity indicator for coastal environments. Marine Micropaleontology, 75(1-4), 38-49. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marmicro.2010.02.004

We collected 77 modern diatom samples from sites across the Pearl River estuary, China to analyze the relationship between diatom assemblages and environmental parameters including water salinity, water depth and sediment particle size. Results showe... Read More about Diatoms from the Pearl River estuary, China and their suitability as a water salinity indicator for coastal environments.

Deglacial history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in the Weddell Sea embayment: Constraints on past ice volume change (2010)
Journal Article
Bentley, M., Fogwill, C., Le Brocq, A., Hubbard, A., Sugden, D., Dunai, T., & Freeman, S. (2010). Deglacial history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet in the Weddell Sea embayment: Constraints on past ice volume change. Geology, 38(5), 411-414. https://doi.org/10.1130/g30754.1

The retreat history of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) since the Last Glacial Maximum is important for understanding the process of rapid deglaciation, constraining models that seek to predict the future trajectory of the ice sheet, and for estim...

The Death of Great Ships: photography, politics and waste in the global imaginary (2010)
Journal Article
Crang, M. (2010). The Death of Great Ships: photography, politics and waste in the global imaginary. Environment and Planning A, 42(5), 1084-1102. https://doi.org/10.1068/a42414

The iconic images heralding an age of connectivity are the plane and the trace of digital flows bearing information. However, not far behind has been the cumbrous yet essential 'big box' of containerisation, shipping all manner of goods across the pl...

Reinventing biological life, reinventing 'the human' (2010)
Journal Article
Johnson, E. R. (2010). Reinventing biological life, reinventing 'the human'. Ephemera, 10(2), 177-193

The techno-scientific framework known as biomimicry ‘reverse-engineers’ animal life to develop technologies and tactics that solve social and environmental problems. Its advocates have promised that it will spark a technological, environmental, and e... Read More about Reinventing biological life, reinventing 'the human'.

Hunting with Polar Bears: Problems with the Passive Properties of the Commons (2010)
Journal Article
Schmidt, J. J., & Dowsley, M. (2010). Hunting with Polar Bears: Problems with the Passive Properties of the Commons. Human Ecology, 38(3), 377-387. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10745-010-9328-0

Inuit in Canada’s Arctic conceptualize both human hunters and their polar bear prey as active participants in the hunt and as part of a larger socio-economic system requiring the involvement of both humans and animals. Although often treated through... Read More about Hunting with Polar Bears: Problems with the Passive Properties of the Commons.
