Anticipating fatness: childhood, affect and the pre-emptive 'war on obesity' (2010)
Journal Article
Evans, B. (2010). Anticipating fatness: childhood, affect and the pre-emptive 'war on obesity'. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 35(1), 21-38. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-5661.2009.00363.x

This paper draws together recent geographical work on fatness, pre-emptive biopolitics, affect and childhood in order to question the spatiotemporalities of obesity policy in the UK. Through analysis of key policy documents and associated media cover... Read More about Anticipating fatness: childhood, affect and the pre-emptive 'war on obesity'.

Evolution of a debris-charged glacier landsystem, Kvíárjökull, Iceland (2010)
Journal Article

The Antarctic palaeo record and its role in improving predictions of future Antarctic Ice Sheet change (2010)
Journal Article
Bentley, M. (2010). The Antarctic palaeo record and its role in improving predictions of future Antarctic Ice Sheet change. Journal of Quaternary Science, 25(1), 5-18. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.1287

This paper reviews the ways in which the palaeo record of Antarctic Ice Sheet change can be used to improve understanding of contemporary ice sheet behaviour, and thus enhance predictions of future sea-level change. The main areas where the palaeo ic... Read More about The Antarctic palaeo record and its role in improving predictions of future Antarctic Ice Sheet change.
