Mediterranean climate variability during the Holocene (2001)
Journal Article
Casford, J., Abu-Zied, R., Rohling, E., Cooke, S., Boessenkool, K., Brinkhuis, H., …Lykousis, V. (2001). Mediterranean climate variability during the Holocene. Mediterranean Marine Science, 2(1), 45-55

We present a study on four high sedimentation-rate marine cores with suppressed bioturbation effects, recovered along the northern margin of the eastern Mediterranean. We demonstrate that this region, central to the development of modern civilisation... Read More about Mediterranean climate variability during the Holocene.

Geo-politics and the representation of Portugal's African colonial wars: examining the limits of 'Vietnam syndrome' (2001)
Journal Article

Portugal's defence of its African colonies between 1961 and 1974 destroyed the Estado Novo fascist dictatorship of António Salazar, impoverished Portugal, and nearly made the colonies go bankrupt. Portuguese involvement with colonial conflict in Moza... Read More about Geo-politics and the representation of Portugal's African colonial wars: examining the limits of 'Vietnam syndrome'.

Keeping the public informed? Public negotiation of air quality information (2001)
Journal Article

Air quality information has been made available to the public in the UK since 1990. However, relatively little work has been done to explore the impact of this information and the ways in which it is interpreted and evaluated by members of the public...

The city and topologies of memory (2001)
Journal Article
Crang, M., & Travlou, P. (2001). The city and topologies of memory. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 19(2), 161-177. https://doi.org/10.1068/d201t

The relationship of space and time has become a vexed issue in accounts in the postmodern metropolis. Rich and enlivening accounts use spatial categories to describe the interrelationships of elements of the city moving from historicism to geography,...

'Even the birds round here cough': stigma, air pollution and health in Teesside (2001)
Journal Article
Bush, J., Moffatt, S., & Dunn, C. (2001). 'Even the birds round here cough': stigma, air pollution and health in Teesside. Health & Place, 7(1), 47-56. https://doi.org/10.1016/s1353-8292%2800%2900037-x

In this paper we explore how the presence of hazardous industry may affect the identity of a place and the people who live there. Drawing on Goffman's seminal work on stigma — together with recent debates on environmental and technological stigma — w...

In the analysis of spatially referenced public health data, members of different disciplinary groups (geographers, epidemiologists and statisticians) tend to select different methodological approaches, usually those with which they are already famili...

Space-geodetic constraints on glacial isostatic adjustment in Fennoscandia (2001)
Journal Article
Milne, G., Davis, J., Mitrovica, J., Scherneck, H., Johansson, J., Vermeer, M., & Koivula, H. (2001). Space-geodetic constraints on glacial isostatic adjustment in Fennoscandia. Science, 291(5512), 2381-2385. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1057022

Analysis of Global Positioning System (GPS) data demonstrates that ongoing three-dimensional crustal deformation in Fennoscandia is dominated by glacial isostatic adjustment. Our comparison of these GPS observations with numerical predictions yields... Read More about Space-geodetic constraints on glacial isostatic adjustment in Fennoscandia.

Extreme snowstorms lead to large-scale seabird breeding failures in Antarctica (2001)
Journal Article
Descamps, S., Hudson, S., Sulich, J., Wakefield, E., Grémillet, D., Carravieri, A., …Steen, H. (2023). Extreme snowstorms lead to large-scale seabird breeding failures in Antarctica. Current Biology, 33(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2022.12.055

Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events that negatively impact wildlife, from individuals to whole ecosystems1. In polar environments, such events include heat waves2, anomalous sea ice concentrations3 and storm... Read More about Extreme snowstorms lead to large-scale seabird breeding failures in Antarctica.

Inter-annual controls on nitrate export from an agricultural catchment - How much land-use change is safe? (2001)
Journal Article

This study presents a model for linking land-use change to nitrate export at the catchment scale. The model combines an export coefficient model with a description of the catchment buffering capacity and a dynamic description of the behaviour of soil...
