The Influence of Three‐Dimensional Topography on Turbulent Flow Structures Over Dunes in Unidirectional Flows (2021)
Journal Article
Hardy, R., Best, J., Marjoribanks, T., Parsons, D., & Ashworth, P. (2021). The Influence of Three‐Dimensional Topography on Turbulent Flow Structures Over Dunes in Unidirectional Flows. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 126(12), https://doi.org/10.1029/2021jf006121

Dunes are the most prevalent bedform present in sand-bedded rivers and their morphology typically comprises multiple scales of three-dimensional topography. However, our understanding of flow over dunes is predicated largely on two-dimensional models...

The Cautious Politics of “Humanizing” Refugee Research (2021)
Journal Article
Darling, J. (2021). The Cautious Politics of “Humanizing” Refugee Research. Refuge: Canada’s Journal on Refugees, 37(2), 56-62. https://doi.org/10.25071/1920-7336.40798

In this intervention, I reflect on what it may mean to ‘humanize’ refugee research. The assumption often made is that ‘humanizing’ can arise through a concern with the particularity of the individual, through drawing from ‘the mass’ the narrative of...

While green urbanism has been discussed extensively in the urban studies literature, less attention has been paid to the micropolitics of its cross-border transplantation. Using the case of Forest City, a mainland Chinese developer-led mega-project i...
