Journal Article
Innes, J., Blackford, J., & Chambers, F. (2006). Kretzschmaria deusta and the NorthWest European mid-Holocene Ulmus decline at Moel y Gerddi, North Wales, United Kingdom. Palynology, 30(1), 121-132. https://doi.org/10.2113/gspalynol.30.1.121

The decline in Ulmus pollen frequencies that occurred ca. 5000 14C years ago before present (BP) is a key biostratigraphic marker horizon in northwest European pollen diagrams, although its causes are still a subject of debate. To investigate this ev... Read More about Kretzschmaria deusta and the NorthWest European mid-Holocene Ulmus decline at Moel y Gerddi, North Wales, United Kingdom.

Automated correction of surface obstruction errors in digital surface models using off-the-shelf image processing (2006)
Journal Article
James, T., Barr, S., & Lane, S. (2006). Automated correction of surface obstruction errors in digital surface models using off-the-shelf image processing. The Photogrammetric Record, 21(116), 373-397. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1477-9730.2006.00398.x

Airborne topographic data collection requires removal of errors that arise due to surface features that obstruct the ground from the sensor. Typically, this has been based on manual correction and/or automated filtering. To some degree, the latter ha...

This paper examines the area-level relationships in England and Wales between sickness absence (‘incapacity benefit’), mortality and morbidity. It uses a random sample of incapacity benefit claims, and population counts of mortality and Census morbid...

Despite being a poorly defined and vague concept, empowerment is currently of political and theoretical significance and nowhere more so than in South Africa, where it seen as central to post-apartheid transformation. This paper explores the ways in... Read More about (Re)Politicizing empowerment: Lessons from the South African wine industry.

This article describes the recording of stone 11 of the Castlerigg stone circle in Cumbria through two different non-contact techniques: laser scanning and ground-based remote sensing. Despite the unproblematic recording of modern graffiti, neither t...

Knowledge, learning and development: a post-rationalist approach (2006)
Journal Article
McFarlane, C. (2006). Knowledge, learning and development: a post-rationalist approach. Progress in Development Studies, 6(4), 287-305. https://doi.org/10.1191/1464993406ps144oa

The relations between knowledge, learning and development are of growing importance in development, but despite the growth of interest in this area since the mid-1990s, key issues have yet to be explored. This review argues the need to attend to how... Read More about Knowledge, learning and development: a post-rationalist approach.

Feature based image processing methods applied to bathymetric measurements from airborne remote sensing in fluvial environments (2006)
Journal Article
Carbonneau, P., Lane, S., & Bergeron, N. (2006). Feature based image processing methods applied to bathymetric measurements from airborne remote sensing in fluvial environments. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 31(11), 1413-1423. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1341

Bathymetric maps produced from remotely sensed imagery are increasingly common. However, when this method is applied to fluvial environments, changing scenes and illumination variations severely hinder the application of well established empirical ca...

Becoming and being hopeful: towards a theory of affect (2006)
Journal Article
Anderson, B. (2006). Becoming and being hopeful: towards a theory of affect. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 24(5), 733-752. https://doi.org/10.1068/d393t

In this paper I describe how hope takes place, in order to outline an explicit theory of the more-than-rational or less-than rational in the context of the recent attunement to issues of the affectual and emotional in social and cultural geography. I... Read More about Becoming and being hopeful: towards a theory of affect.

Allometric development of glacial cirque form: Geological, relief and regional effects on the cirques of Wales (2006)

Headward and downward erosion near glacier sources, at rates exceeding fluvial erosion, is important in recent discussions of orogen development and the limits to relief. This relates to a long history of debate on how the form of glacial cirques dev...
