Journal Article
Penkman, K., Preece, R., Bridgland, D., Keen, D., Meijer, T., Parfitt, S., …Collins, M. (2011). A chronological framework for the British Quaternary based on Bithynia opercula. Nature, 476(7361), 446-449. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature10305

Marine and ice-core records show that the Earth has experienced a succession of glacials and interglacials during the Quaternary (last ~2.6 million years), although it is often difficult to correlate fragmentary terrestrial records with specific cycl...

Alkenones and coccoliths in ice-rafted debris during the Last Glacial Maximum in the North Atlantic: implications for the use of UK37' as a sea surface temperature proxy (2011)
Journal Article
Rosell-Melé, A., Balestra, B., Kornilova, O., McClymont, E., Russell, M., Monechi, S., …Ziveri, P. (2011). Alkenones and coccoliths in ice-rafted debris during the Last Glacial Maximum in the North Atlantic: implications for the use of UK37' as a sea surface temperature proxy. Journal of Quaternary Science, 26(6), 657-664. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.1488

The UK37′ index has proven to be a robust proxy to estimate past sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over a range of time scales, but like any other proxy, it has uncertainties. For instance, in reconstructions of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in the no...

Dynamic controls on erosion and deposition on debris-flow fans (2011)
Journal Article
Schürch, P., Densmore, A., Rosser, N., & McArdell, B. (2011). Dynamic controls on erosion and deposition on debris-flow fans. Geology, 39(9), 827-830. https://doi.org/10.1130/g32103.1

Debris flows are among the most hazardous and unpredictable of surface processes in mountainous areas. This is partly because debris-flow erosion and deposition are poorly understood, resulting in major uncertainties in flow behavior, channel stabili...

Geodetic mass balance of Azarova glacier, Kodar mountains, eastern Siberia, and its links to observed and projected climatic change (2011)
Journal Article

The Kodar mountains in eastern Siberia accommodate 30 small, cold-based glaciers with a combined surface area previously estimated at 19 km2. Very little is known about these glaciers, which were first surveyed in the late 1950s. In this paper, we us...

This paper initiates debate for geographers on the nature of care in relation to the self explored through the practices of aesthetic surgery. Central to debates on the meanings and relations of aesthetic surgery are a set of problematics related to...

The composition and internal structure of drumlins: Complexity, commonality, and implications for a unifying theory of their formation (2011)
Journal Article
Stokes, C., Spagnolo, M., & Clark, C. (2011). The composition and internal structure of drumlins: Complexity, commonality, and implications for a unifying theory of their formation. Earth-Science Reviews, 107(3-4), 398-422. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2011.05.001

Investigation of drumlins is significant to both glaciology and palaeoglaciology but the sheer diversity of their composition and internal structure is often cited as a major obstacle towards a satisfactory (unifying?) explanation of their formation....

Art as social practice: transforming lives using sculpture in HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention in Uganda. (2011)
Journal Article

This paper explores the possibilities of art as social practice in the context of the fight against HIV/AIDS. It is inspired by notions of art as having the capacity to move beyond the spaces of galleries into an expanded field, and thus beyond the v...
