Changing levels of local crime and mental health: a natural experiment using self-reported and service use data in Scotland (2020)
Journal Article
Baranyi, G., Cherrie, M., Curtis, S. E., Dibben, C., & Pearce, J. (2020). Changing levels of local crime and mental health: a natural experiment using self-reported and service use data in Scotland. Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, 74(10), 806-814. https://doi.org/10.1136/jech-2020-213837

Background: This study contributes robust evidence on the association between mental health and local crime rates by showing how changing exposure to small area-level crime relates to self-reported and administrative data on mental health. Methods: T... Read More about Changing levels of local crime and mental health: a natural experiment using self-reported and service use data in Scotland.

Mg/Ca-Temperature Calibration of Polar Benthic foraminifera species for reconstruction of bottom water temperatures on the Antarctic shelf (2020)
Journal Article
Mawbey, E. M., Hendry, K. H., Greaves, M. J., Hillenbrand, C., Kuhn, G., Spencer-Jones, C. L., …Smith, J. A. (2020). Mg/Ca-Temperature Calibration of Polar Benthic foraminifera species for reconstruction of bottom water temperatures on the Antarctic shelf. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 283, 54-66. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2020.05.027

Benthic foraminifera Mg/Ca is a well-established bottom water temperature (BWT) proxy used in paleoclimate studies. The relationship between Mg/Ca and BWT for numerous species has been determined using core-top and culturing studies. However, the sca...

A low resource subglacial bedrock sampler: The percussive rapid access isotope drill (P-RAID) (2020)
Journal Article
Timoney, R., Worrall, K., Firstbrook, D., Harkness, P., Rix, J., Ashurst, D., …Bentley, M. J. (2020). A low resource subglacial bedrock sampler: The percussive rapid access isotope drill (P-RAID). Cold Regions Science and Technology, 177, Article 103113. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coldregions.2020.103113

The paleoclimate community has an interest in distributed subglacial bedrock sampling but, while capable drill systems do exist, they are often incompatible with Twin Otter logistics. To address this issue, a design built on the existing low footprin... Read More about A low resource subglacial bedrock sampler: The percussive rapid access isotope drill (P-RAID).

Long-term patterns of hillslope erosion by earthquake-induced landslides shape mountain landscapes (2020)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Howarth, J. D., McClymont, E. L., Densmore, A. L., Fitzsimons, S. J., Croissant, T., …Hilton, R. G. (2020). Long-term patterns of hillslope erosion by earthquake-induced landslides shape mountain landscapes. Science Advances, 6(23), Article eaaz6446. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.aaz6446

Widespread triggering of landslides by large storms or earthquakes is a dominant mechanism of erosion in mountain landscapes. If landslides occur repeatedly in particular locations within a mountain range, then they will dominate the landscape evolut...

An Assessment of Global Forest Change Datasets for National Forest Monitoring and Reporting (2020)
Journal Article
Galiatsatos, N., Donoghue, D., Watt, P., Bholanath, P., Pickering, J., Hansen, M., & Mahmood, A. (2020). An Assessment of Global Forest Change Datasets for National Forest Monitoring and Reporting. Remote Sensing, 12(11), Article 1790. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs12111790

Global Forest Change datasets have the potential to assist countries with national forest measuring, reporting and verification (MRV) requirements. This paper assesses the accuracy of the Global Forest Change data against nationally derived forest ch...

The deglaciation of the western sector of the Irish Ice Sheet from the inner continental shelf to its terrestrial margin (2020)
Journal Article
Roberts, D., Ó Cofaigh, C., Ballantyne, C., Burke, M., Chiverrell, R., Evans, D., …Callard, S. (2020). The deglaciation of the western sector of the Irish Ice Sheet from the inner continental shelf to its terrestrial margin. Boreas: An International Journal of Quaternary Research, 49(3), 438-460. https://doi.org/10.1111/bor.12448

This paper provides a new deglacial chronology for retreat of the Irish Ice Sheet from the continental shelf of western Ireland to the adjoining coastline, a region where the timing and drivers of ice recession have never been fully constrained. Prev... Read More about The deglaciation of the western sector of the Irish Ice Sheet from the inner continental shelf to its terrestrial margin.

Efficient preservation of young terrestrial organic carbon in sandy turbidity current deposits (2020)
Journal Article
Hage, S., Galy, V., Cartigny, M., Acikalin, S., Clare, M., Gröcke, D., …Talling, P. (2020). Efficient preservation of young terrestrial organic carbon in sandy turbidity current deposits. Geology, 48(9), 882-887. https://doi.org/10.1130/g47320.1

Burial of terrestrial biospheric particulate organic carbon in marine sediments removes CO2 from the atmosphere, regulating climate over geologic time scales. Rivers deliver terrestrial organic carbon to the sea, while turbidity currents transport ri...
