Rethinking expeditions: On critical expeditionary practice (2018)
Journal Article
Leshem, N., & Pinkerton, A. (2019). Rethinking expeditions: On critical expeditionary practice. Progress in Human Geography, 43(3), 496-514. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309132518768413

The expedition’s complicity in the imperial project of conquest, extraction and settlement has placed it as an object of critique, but largely discredited its significance as a valid research method in the critical social sciences. Yet dismissing the... Read More about Rethinking expeditions: On critical expeditionary practice.

Dissolved Mn(III) in Water Treatment Works: Prevalence and Significance (2018)
Journal Article
Johnson, K., McCann, C., Wilkinson, J., Jones, M., Tebo, B., West, M., …Hudson-Edwards, K. (2018). Dissolved Mn(III) in Water Treatment Works: Prevalence and Significance. Water Research, 140, 181-190. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.watres.2018.04.038

Dissolved Mn(III) has been identified at all stages throughout a Water Treatment Works (WTW) receiving inflow from a peaty upland catchment in NE England. Ninety percent of the influent total manganese into the WTW is particulate Mn, in the form of M... Read More about Dissolved Mn(III) in Water Treatment Works: Prevalence and Significance.

Digital Territories: Google Maps as a Political Technique in the Re-making of Urban Informality (2018)
Journal Article
Luque-Ayala, A., & Neves Maia, F. (2019). Digital Territories: Google Maps as a Political Technique in the Re-making of Urban Informality. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 37(3), 449-467. https://doi.org/10.1177/0263775818766069

This article examines the mobilisation of spatial media technologies for digitally mapping informal settlements. It argues that digital mapping operates politically through a re-configuration of circulation, power, and territorial formations. Drawing...

Digital Interface Design and Power: Friction, Threshold, Transition (2018)
Journal Article
Ash, J., Anderson, B., Gordon, R., & Langley, P. (2018). Digital Interface Design and Power: Friction, Threshold, Transition. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 36(3), 1136-1153. https://doi.org/10.1177/0263775818767426

This paper draws upon the example of High-Cost Short-Term Credit products accessed via digital interfaces and devices to examine practices of interface design and the operation of digitally mediated power. Utilising interviews with High-Cost Short-Te... Read More about Digital Interface Design and Power: Friction, Threshold, Transition.

Microbial oxidation of lithospheric organic carbon in rapidly eroding tropical mountain soils (2018)
Journal Article
Hemingway, J., Hilton, R., Hovius, N., Eglinton, T., Haghipour, N., Wacker, L., …Galy, V. (2018). Microbial oxidation of lithospheric organic carbon in rapidly eroding tropical mountain soils. Science, 360(6385), 209-212. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.aao6463

Lithospheric organic carbon (“petrogenic”; OCpetro) is oxidized during exhumation and subsequent erosion of mountain ranges. This process is a considerable source of carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere over geologic time scales, but the mechanisms...

Relative sea‐level changes and crustal movements in Britain and Ireland since the Last Glacial Maximum (2018)
Journal Article
Shennan, I., Bradley, S., & Edwards, R. (2018). Relative sea‐level changes and crustal movements in Britain and Ireland since the Last Glacial Maximum. Quaternary Science Reviews, 188, 143-159. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.03.031

The new sea-level database for Britain and Ireland contains >2100 data points from 86 regions and records relative sea-level (RSL) changes over the last 20 ka and across elevations ranging from ∼+40 to −55 m. It reveals radically different patterns o... Read More about Relative sea‐level changes and crustal movements in Britain and Ireland since the Last Glacial Maximum.

Anomalously weak Labrador Sea convection and Atlantic overturning during the past 150 years (2018)
Journal Article
Thornalley, D. J., Oppo, D. W., Ortega, P., Robson, J. I., Brierley, C. M., Davis, R., …Keigwin, L. D. (2018). Anomalously weak Labrador Sea convection and Atlantic overturning during the past 150 years. Nature, 556(7700), 227-230. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-018-0007-4

The Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) is a system of ocean currents that has an essential role in Earth’s climate, redistributing heat and influencing the carbon cycle1, 2. The AMOC has been shown to be weakening in recent years1; th... Read More about Anomalously weak Labrador Sea convection and Atlantic overturning during the past 150 years.

Oceanographic and climatic evolution of the southeastern subtropical Atlantic over the last 3.5 Ma (2018)
Journal Article
Petrick, B., McClymont, E., Littler, K., Rosell-Melé, A., Clarkson, M., Maslin, M., …Pancost, R. (2018). Oceanographic and climatic evolution of the southeastern subtropical Atlantic over the last 3.5 Ma. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 492, 12-21. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2018.03.054

The southeast Atlantic Ocean is dominated by two major oceanic systems: the Benguela Upwelling System, one of the world's most productive coastal upwelling cells and the Agulhas Leakage, which is important for transferring warm salty water from the I...
