Neo-colonial credit: FinTech platforms in Africa (2022)
Journal Article
Langley, P., & Leyshon, A. (2022). Neo-colonial credit: FinTech platforms in Africa. Journal of Cultural Economy, 15(4), 401-415. https://doi.org/10.1080/17530350.2022.2028652

This paper makes a three-fold contribution to social science research into FinTech in Africa. First, we build on existing research into mobile payments to show how FinTech providers offer unsecured short-term credit products via mobile wallets. Secon...

Perceptions of atmosphere: air, waste, and narratives of life and work in Mumbai (2022)
Journal Article
Tripathy, P., & McFarlane, C. (2022). Perceptions of atmosphere: air, waste, and narratives of life and work in Mumbai. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 40(4), 664-682. https://doi.org/10.1177/02637758221110574

How do residents on the socioeconomic margins of the city experience and perceive atmosphere? How does the concept of atmosphere change when we write it from a context of impoverished and stigmatized residents? Drawing on research in neighborhoods ne...

Slowdown of Shirase Glacier, East Antarctica, caused by strengthening alongshore winds (2022)
Journal Article
Miles, B. W., Stokes, C. R., Jenkins, A., Jordan, J. R., Jamieson, S. S., & Gudmundsson, G. H. (2022). Slowdown of Shirase Glacier, East Antarctica, caused by strengthening alongshore winds. The Cryosphere, 17, 445-456. https://doi.org/10.5194/tc-17-445-2023

Around large parts of West Antarctica and in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, increased wind-forced intrusions of modified Circumpolar Deep Water (mCDW) onto the continental shelf have been associated with mass loss over the last few decades. Despite co... Read More about Slowdown of Shirase Glacier, East Antarctica, caused by strengthening alongshore winds.

Speaking Stata: Automating axis labels: Nice numbers and transformed scales (2022)
Journal Article
Cox, N. J. (2022). Speaking Stata: Automating axis labels: Nice numbers and transformed scales. The Stata Journal, 22(4), 975-995. https://doi.org/10.1177/1536867x221141058

Two common problems with graph axis labels are to decide in advance on some “nice” numbers to use on one or both axes and to show particular labels on some transformed scale. In this column, I discuss the nicelabels and mylabels commands, which addre... Read More about Speaking Stata: Automating axis labels: Nice numbers and transformed scales.

The role of earthquakes and storms in the fluvial export of terrestrial organic carbon along the eastern margin of the Tibetan plateau: A biomarker perspective (2022)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Ma, T., Zhang, F., Hilton, R. G., Feng, X., & Jin, Z. (2022). The role of earthquakes and storms in the fluvial export of terrestrial organic carbon along the eastern margin of the Tibetan plateau: A biomarker perspective. Frontiers in Earth Science, 10, Article 1090983. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2022.1090983

Driven by earthquakes and intense rainfall, steep tectonically active mountains are hotspots of terrestrial organic carbon mobilization from soils, rocks, and vegetation by landslides into rivers. Subsequent delivery and fluvial mobilization of organ...

Anthropogenic contaminants in glacial environments I: Inputs and accumulation (2022)
Journal Article
Beard, D. B., Clason, C. C., Rangecroft, S., Poniecka, E., Ward, K. J., & Blake, W. H. (2022). Anthropogenic contaminants in glacial environments I: Inputs and accumulation. Progress in Physical Geography, 46(4), 630-648. https://doi.org/10.1177/03091333221107376

Historically, glaciers have been seen as pristine environments. However, recent research has shown that glaciers can accumulate and store contaminants over long timescales, through processes such as atmospheric deposition, sedimentation, glacial hydr...

Towards the lithium-ion battery production network: Thinking beyond mineral supply chains (2022)
Journal Article
Bridge, G., & Faigen, E. (2022). Towards the lithium-ion battery production network: Thinking beyond mineral supply chains. Energy Research and Social Science, 89, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.erss.2022.102659

The increasing role of electricity as an energy carrier in decarbonising economies is driving a growing demand for electrical energy storage in the form of battery systems. Two battery applications driving demand growth are electric vehicles and stat... Read More about Towards the lithium-ion battery production network: Thinking beyond mineral supply chains.

Liveability and vitality: an exploration of small cities in Bangladesh (2022)
Journal Article
Ruszczyk, H. A., Halligey, A., Rahman, M. F., & Ahmed, I. (2023). Liveability and vitality: an exploration of small cities in Bangladesh. Cities, 133, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2022.104150

This paper presents a mixed method, participatory exploration of liveability as a stocktaking assessment with projections for urban vitality in cities, particularly in LMIC, small cities. The paper takes as its case study research conducted in 2019 a... Read More about Liveability and vitality: an exploration of small cities in Bangladesh.
