Robotic photosieving from low-cost multirotor sUAS: A proof-of-concept (2018)
Journal Article
Carbonneau, P., Bizzi, S., & Marchetti, G. (2018). Robotic photosieving from low-cost multirotor sUAS: A proof-of-concept. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 43(5), 1160-1166. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4298

Measurement of riverbed material grainsizes is now a routine part of fieldwork in fluvial geomorphology and lotic ecology. In the last decade, several authors have proposed remote sensing approaches of grain size measurements based on terrestrial and...

Better models are more effectively connected models (2018)
Journal Article
Nunes, J. P., Wainwright, J., Bielders, C. L., Darboux, F., Fiener, P., Finger, D., & Turnbull, L. (2018). Better models are more effectively connected models. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 43(6), 1355-1360. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4323

Water- and sediment-transfer models are commonly used to explain or predict patterns in the landscape at scales different from those at which observations are available. These patterns are often the result of emergent properties that occur because pr... Read More about Better models are more effectively connected models.

Microtopography of bare peat: a conceptual model and objective classification from high-resolution topographic survey data (2018)
Journal Article
Smith, M., & Warburton, J. (2018). Microtopography of bare peat: a conceptual model and objective classification from high-resolution topographic survey data. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 43(8), 1557-1574. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4336

Peatlands globally are at risk of degradation through increased susceptibility to erosion as a result of climate change. Quantification of peat erosion and an understanding of the processes responsible for their degradation is required if eroded peat...

Historical Nankai-Suruga megathrust earthquakes recorded by tsunami and terrestrial mass movement deposits on the Shirasuka coastal lowlands, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan (2018)
Journal Article
Garrett, E., Fujiwara, O., Riedesel, S., Walstra, J., Deforce, K., Yokoyama, Y., …QuakeRecNankai team, T. (2018). Historical Nankai-Suruga megathrust earthquakes recorded by tsunami and terrestrial mass movement deposits on the Shirasuka coastal lowlands, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan. Holocene, 28(6), 968-983. https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683617752844

Geological investigations of coastal sediment sequences play a key role in verifying earthquake and tsunami characteristics inferred from historical records. In this paper, we present a multi-proxy investigation of a coastal lowland site facing the N...

Bureaucratic territory: First Nations, private property, and “turn-key” colonialism in Canada (2018)
Journal Article
Schmidt, J. J. (2018). Bureaucratic territory: First Nations, private property, and “turn-key” colonialism in Canada. Annals of the American Association of Geographers, 108(4), 901-916. https://doi.org/10.1080/24694452.2017.1403878

Since 2006, successive Canadian governments have worked to create private property regimes on lands reserved for First Nations. This article examines how the state framed the theory and history of Aboriginal property rights to achieve this goal. It t...

Negotiating energy democracy in practice: governance processes in community energy projects (2018)
Journal Article
van Veelen, B. (2018). Negotiating energy democracy in practice: governance processes in community energy projects. Environmental Politics, 27(4), 644-665. https://doi.org/10.1080/09644016.2018.1427824

There is a growing ‘energy democracy’ (ED) movement which regards the transition to renewable energy as an opportunity for socio-economic transformation, as well as technological innovation. The literature on ED tends to associate greater democratic... Read More about Negotiating energy democracy in practice: governance processes in community energy projects.

Satellite-based emergency mapping using optical imagery: experience and reflections from the 2015 Nepal earthquakes (2018)
Journal Article
Williams, J., Rosser, N., Kincey, M., Benjamin, J., Oven, K., Densmore, A., …Dijkstra, T. (2018). Satellite-based emergency mapping using optical imagery: experience and reflections from the 2015 Nepal earthquakes. Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 18, 185-205. https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-18-185-2018

Landslides triggered by large earthquakes in mountainous regions contribute significantly to overall earthquake losses and pose a major secondary hazard that can persist for months or years. While scientific investigations of coseismic landsliding ar... Read More about Satellite-based emergency mapping using optical imagery: experience and reflections from the 2015 Nepal earthquakes.

The folds of social finance: Making markets, remaking the social (2018)
Journal Article
Langley, P. (2020). The folds of social finance: Making markets, remaking the social. Environment and Planning A, 52(1), 130-147. https://doi.org/10.1177/0308518x17752682

The global financial crisis acted as a spur to ‘social finance’, a loose grouping of markets demarcated on the grounds of their ostensible social purpose. This article’s critical analysis of social finance contributes to cultural economy research int... Read More about The folds of social finance: Making markets, remaking the social.
