Core Cities’ strong growth in the 2010s: Were they ‘leaving behind’ the rest of their regions? (2020)
Journal Article
Townsend, A., & Champion, T. (2020). Core Cities’ strong growth in the 2010s: Were they ‘leaving behind’ the rest of their regions?. Local Economy, 35(6), https://doi.org/10.1177/0269094220970913

Second-order cities are generally seen as disadvantaged places in the literature on globalisation, but in recent years they have staged a revival in several countries. This article uses two data sources to examine the employment change recorded by Br... Read More about Core Cities’ strong growth in the 2010s: Were they ‘leaving behind’ the rest of their regions?.

Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Forest Edge Degradation: Gold Mining in Guyana as a Case Study (2020)
Journal Article
Brown, S., Mahmood, A. R., Goslee, K. M., Pearson, T. R., Sukhdeo, H., Donoghue, D. N., & Watt, P. (2020). Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Forest Edge Degradation: Gold Mining in Guyana as a Case Study. Forests, 11(12), Article 1307. https://doi.org/10.3390/f11121307

Background and Methods: Degradation of forests in developing countries results from multiple activities and is perceived to be a key source of greenhouse gas emissions, yet there are not reliable methodologies to measure and monitor emissions from al...

Applying Citizen Science for Sustainable Development: Rainfall Monitoring in Western Nepal (2020)
Journal Article
Paul, J. D., Cieslik, K., Sah, N., Shakya, P., Parajuli, B. P., Paudel, S., …Buytaert, W. (2020). Applying Citizen Science for Sustainable Development: Rainfall Monitoring in Western Nepal. Frontiers in Water, 2, Article 581375. https://doi.org/10.3389/frwa.2020.581375

We introduce a case-study agnostic framework for the application of citizen science in a sustainable development context. This framework is tested against an activity in two secondary schools in western Nepal. While the purpose of this activity is to...

21st century response of Petermann Glacier, northwest Greenland to ice shelf loss (2020)
Journal Article
Hill, E., Gudmundsson, G., Carr, J., Stokes, C., & King, H. (2021). 21st century response of Petermann Glacier, northwest Greenland to ice shelf loss. Journal of Glaciology, 67(261), 147-157. https://doi.org/10.1017/jog.2020.97

Ice shelves restrain flow from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. Climate-ocean warming could force thinning or collapse of floating ice shelves and subsequently accelerate flow, increase ice discharge and raise global mean sea levels. Petermann...

Disappearing reeds on Chongming Island: An environmental microhistory of Chinese eco-development (2020)
Journal Article
Xie, L., Mauch, C., Tan-Mullins, M., & Cheshmehzangi, A. (2022). Disappearing reeds on Chongming Island: An environmental microhistory of Chinese eco-development. Environment and Planning E: Nature and Space, 5(1), 225-249. https://doi.org/10.1177/2514848620974375

This paper critically examines current ecological development planning and practice in China through an environmental microhistory approach. By tracing the gradual disappearance of an indigenous plant – the common reed (Phragmites australis) – on Cho...

Arctic chironomids of the northwest North Atlantic reflect environmental and biogeographic gradients (2020)
Journal Article
Medeiros, A. S., Milošević, Đ., Francis, D. R., Maddison, E., Woodroffe, S., Long, A., …Axford, Y. (2021). Arctic chironomids of the northwest North Atlantic reflect environmental and biogeographic gradients. Journal of Biogeography, 48(3), 511-525. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14015

Aim: While we understand broad climate drivers of insect distributions throughout the Arctic, less is known about the role of spatial processes in determining these relationships. As such, there is a need to understand how spatial controls may influe... Read More about Arctic chironomids of the northwest North Atlantic reflect environmental and biogeographic gradients.

Multi-profile fine-resolution palynology of Late Mesolithic to Bronze Age peat at Cat Stones, Rishworth Moor, Central Pennines, UK (2020)
Journal Article
Albert, B. M., Innes, J. B., & Blackford, J. J. (2021). Multi-profile fine-resolution palynology of Late Mesolithic to Bronze Age peat at Cat Stones, Rishworth Moor, Central Pennines, UK. Holocene, 31(3), 483-501. https://doi.org/10.1177/0959683620972768

Palynological data from three radiocarbon dated peat profiles at Rishworth Moor in the Pennine hills of northern England provide a record of vegetation change and human impacts in the Late Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age periods. All three cultu... Read More about Multi-profile fine-resolution palynology of Late Mesolithic to Bronze Age peat at Cat Stones, Rishworth Moor, Central Pennines, UK.

Rethinking climate futures through urban fabrics: (De)growth, densification, and the politics of scale (2020)
Journal Article
Knuth, S., Stehlin, J., & Millington, N. (2020). Rethinking climate futures through urban fabrics: (De)growth, densification, and the politics of scale. Urban Geography, 41(10), 1335-1343. https://doi.org/10.1080/02723638.2020.1850024

In the face of climate destabilizations and breakdowns, debates about (de)growth and scale have been particularly significant within critical scholarship. These debates counterpose radically different political positionings, with implications for how...
