Holocene glacier and ice cap fluctuations in southwest Greenland inferred from two lake records (2020)
Journal Article
Larocca, L. J., Axford, Y., Woodroffe, S. A., Lasher, G. E., & Gawin, B. (2020). Holocene glacier and ice cap fluctuations in southwest Greenland inferred from two lake records. Quaternary Science Reviews, 246, Article 106529. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2020.106529

Glaciers and ice caps (GICs) respond rapidly to changes in temperature and precipitation. Thus, records of their past fluctuations yield valuable information on past climate. However, relatively little is known about the long-term, Holocene history o... Read More about Holocene glacier and ice cap fluctuations in southwest Greenland inferred from two lake records.

UAV-based training for fully fuzzy classification of Sentinel-2 fluvial scenes (2020)
Journal Article
Carbonneau, P., Belletti, B., Micotti, M., Lastoria, B., Casaioli, M., Mariani, S., …Bizzi, S. (2020). UAV-based training for fully fuzzy classification of Sentinel-2 fluvial scenes. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 45(13), 3120-3140. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4955

An estimated 76% of global stream area is occupied by channels with widths above 30 meters. Sentinel‐2 imagery with resolutions of 10m could supply information about the composition of river corridors at national and global scales. Fuzzy classificati...

Governing people, governing places: advancing the Protean Environmental State in China (2020)
Journal Article
Flynn, A., Xie, L., & Hacking, N. (2020). Governing people, governing places: advancing the Protean Environmental State in China. Journal of Environmental Policy and Planning, 22(5), 724-744. https://doi.org/10.1080/1523908x.2020.1806048

Since the 1990s, the unprecedented rate of economic change in China has created a series of critical policy challenges for both central and subnational states. How these policy challenges are conceived will determine how and when they can be solved.... Read More about Governing people, governing places: advancing the Protean Environmental State in China.

Hacker-engineers and their economies: The political economy of decentralised networks and ‘cryptoeconomics’ (2020)
Journal Article
Brekke, J. (2021). Hacker-engineers and their economies: The political economy of decentralised networks and ‘cryptoeconomics’. New Political Economy, 26(4), 646-659. https://doi.org/10.1080/13563467.2020.1806223

Research by political economists typically highlights policymakers, regulators, economists and consultants as the makers of economies. This paper foregrounds a different actor entirely, what I call the ‘hacker-engineer’ as an important protagonist in...

Deglaciation of Pope Glacier implies widespread early Holocene ice sheet thinning in the Amundsen Sea sector of Antarctica (2020)
Journal Article
Johnson, J., Roberts, S., Rood, D., Pollard, D., Schaefer, J., Whitehouse, P., …Smith, J. (2020). Deglaciation of Pope Glacier implies widespread early Holocene ice sheet thinning in the Amundsen Sea sector of Antarctica. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 548, Article 116501. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2020.116501

The Amundsen Sea sector of the Antarctic ice sheet presently dominates the contribution from Antarctica to sea level rise. Several large ice streams that currently drain the sector have experienced rapid flow acceleration, grounding line retreat and...

Modelling water levels of northwestern India in response to improved irrigation use efficiency (2020)
Journal Article
Shekhar, S., Kumar, S., Densmore, A., van Dijk, W., Sinha, R., Kumar, M., …Kumar, D. (2020). Modelling water levels of northwestern India in response to improved irrigation use efficiency. Scientific Reports, 10, Article 13452. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-70416-0

The groundwater crisis in northwestern India is the result of over-exploitation of groundwater resources for irrigation. The Government of India has targeted a 20 percent improvement in irrigation groundwater use efficiency. In this perspective, and...

Cosmogenic exposure dating reveals limited long-term variability in erosion of a rocky coastline (2020)
Journal Article
Swirad, Z. M., Rosser, N. J., Brain, M. J., Rood, D. H., Hurst, M. D., Wilcken, K. M., & Barlow, J. (2020). Cosmogenic exposure dating reveals limited long-term variability in erosion of a rocky coastline. Nature Communications, 11, Article 3804. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17611-9

Predicted sea-level rise and increased storminess are anticipated to lead to increases in coastal erosion. However, assessing if and how rocky coasts will respond to changes in marine conditions is difficult due to current limitations of monitoring a...

Emergent characteristics of rockfall inventories captured at a regional scale (2020)
Journal Article
Benjamin, J., Rosser, N., & Brain, M. (2020). Emergent characteristics of rockfall inventories captured at a regional scale. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 45(12), 2773-2787. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4929

High-resolution rockfall inventories captured at a regional scale are scarce. This is partly owing to difficulties in measuring the range of possible rockfall volumes with sufficient accuracy and completeness, and at a scale exceeding the influence o...
