Reimagining energy infrastructures for the 21st century increasingly means choosing between competing economic futures, a dilemma that is now provoking conflicts across many places and realms. In the United States, one critical clash is unfolding amo... Read More about “Breakthroughs” for a Green Economy? Financialization and Clean Energy Transition.

The importance of volunteered geographic information for the validation of flood inundation models (2018)
Journal Article
Rollason, E., Bracken, L., Hardy, R., & Large, A. (2018). The importance of volunteered geographic information for the validation of flood inundation models. Journal of Hydrology, 562, 267-280. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2018.05.002

Two dimensional flood inundation models capable of simulating complex spatially and temporally differentiated floodplain flows are routinely used to model and predict flooding. However, advances in modelling techniques have not been matched by improv... Read More about The importance of volunteered geographic information for the validation of flood inundation models.

Sedimentary records of inorganic elements and pigments over the last 12,000 years are used to assess major changes in limnological conditions of Tiancai Lake (a small treeline lake, SW China), in response to Holocene climate variations. Algal communi... Read More about Direct and indirect effects of Holocene climate variations on catchment and lake processes of a treeline lake, SW China.

Anti-slavery as development: a global politics of rescue (2018)
Journal Article
McGrath, S., & Watson, S. (2018). Anti-slavery as development: a global politics of rescue. Geoforum, 93, 22-31. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2018.04.013

Trafficking, forced labour and ‘slavery’ (TFLS) have become a central cause for our time, but anti-TFLS efforts have also come under forceful criticism. Amidst these ongoing debates, we observe that TFLS is currently being reframed as a problem of an... Read More about Anti-slavery as development: a global politics of rescue.
