Holocene relative sea-level change along the tectonically active Chilean coast (2020)
Journal Article
Garrett, E., Melnick, D., Dura, T., Cisternas, M., Ely, L. L., Wesson, R. L., …Whitehouse, P. L. (2020). Holocene relative sea-level change along the tectonically active Chilean coast. Quaternary Science Reviews, 236, Article 106281. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2020.106281

We present a comprehensive relative sea-level (RSL) database for north, central, and south-central Chile (18.5°S – 43.6°S) using a consistent, systematic, and internationally comparable approach. Despite its latitudinal extent, this coastline has rec... Read More about Holocene relative sea-level change along the tectonically active Chilean coast.

Direct evidence of a high-concentration basal layer in a submarine turbidity current (2020)
Journal Article
Wang, Z., Xu, J., Talling, P. J., Cartigny, M. J., Simmons, S. M., Gwiazda, R., …Parsons, D. R. (2020). Direct evidence of a high-concentration basal layer in a submarine turbidity current. Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers, 161, Article 103300. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dsr.2020.103300

Submarine turbidity currents are one of the most important sediment transfer processes on earth. Yet the fundamental nature of turbidity currents is still debated; especially whether they are entirely dilute and turbulent, or a thin and dense basal l...

A spatial total nitrogen budget for Great Britain (2020)
Journal Article
Fan, X., Worrall, F., Baldini, L. M., & Burt, T. P. (2020). A spatial total nitrogen budget for Great Britain. Science of the Total Environment, 728, Article 138864. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.138864

Understanding nutrient budgets makes it possible to predict where and by how much nutrients are accumulating in the environment. Previous studies have considered this problem for nitrogen (N) but have limited themselves to reactive N species (i.e. ex... Read More about A spatial total nitrogen budget for Great Britain.

Reproducible topographic analysis (2020)
Book Chapter
Grieve, S. W., Clubb, F. J., & Mudd, S. M. (2020). Reproducible topographic analysis. In P. Tarolli, & S. M. Mudd (Eds.), Remote sensing of geomorphology (339-367). Elsevier. https://doi.org/10.1016/b978-0-444-64177-9.00012-6

The ability to reproduce the results of an experiment is a fundamental component of the scientific method. However, precisely what is meant by the terms replicable and reproducible often varies between and within disciplines. Here, we present clear d... Read More about Reproducible topographic analysis.

A global database of Holocene paleotemperature records (2020)
Journal Article
Kaufman, D., McKay, N., Routson, C., Erb, M., Davis, B., Heiri, O., …Zhilich, S. (2020). A global database of Holocene paleotemperature records. Scientific Data, 7(1), Article 115. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41597-020-0445-3

A comprehensive database of paleoclimate records is needed to place recent warming into the longer-term context of natural climate variability. We present a global compilation of quality-controlled, published, temperature-sensitive proxy records exte... Read More about A global database of Holocene paleotemperature records.

Identifying Flow Pathways for Phosphorus Transport Using Observed Event Forensics and the CRAFT (Catchment Runoff Attenuation Flux Tool) (2020)
Journal Article
Adams, R., Quinn, P., Barber, N., & Burke, S. (2020). Identifying Flow Pathways for Phosphorus Transport Using Observed Event Forensics and the CRAFT (Catchment Runoff Attenuation Flux Tool). Water, 12(4), Article 1081. https://doi.org/10.3390/w12041081

Identifying key flow pathways is critical in order to understand the transport of Phosphorus (P) from agricultural headwater catchments. High frequency/resolution datasets from two such catchments in Northwest England enabled individual events to be...

Human settlement of East Polynesia earlier, incremental, and coincident with prolonged South Pacific drought (2020)
Journal Article
Sear, D. A., Allen, M. S., Hassall, J. D., Maloney, A. E., Langdon, P. G., Morrison, A. E., …Pearson, E. (2020). Human settlement of East Polynesia earlier, incremental, and coincident with prolonged South Pacific drought. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 117(16), 8813-8819. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1920975117

The timing of human colonization of East Polynesia, a vast area lying between Hawai‘i, Rapa Nui, and New Zealand, is much debated and the underlying causes of this great migration have been enigmatic. Our study generates evidence for human dispersal... Read More about Human settlement of East Polynesia earlier, incremental, and coincident with prolonged South Pacific drought.

‘All that is Solid … ’ (2020)
Journal Article
Knuth, S. (2020). ‘All that is Solid … ’. City: analysis of urban trends, culture, theory, policy, action, 24(1-2), 65-75. https://doi.org/10.1080/13604813.2020.1739903

As critical urbanists confront climate change, and prospective climate responses, we must ask crucial questions about the ‘lifetime’ of today’s urban fabrics and metropolitan forms. How durable or ephemeral will existing urban geographies prove in th... Read More about ‘All that is Solid … ’.
