The changing logic of urban planning in Nepal: From informal to incremental (2020)
Book Chapter
Ruszczyk, H. A. (2020). The changing logic of urban planning in Nepal: From informal to incremental. In H. A. Ruszczyk, E. Nugraha, & I. de Villers (Eds.), Overlooked Cities: Power, Politics and Knowledge Beyond the Urban South (39-54). Routledge

Often times in the global South, urban planning guidelines and land use plans exist. The difficulties lie in implementation. Specifically, who must follow the law and where in the city must urban planning be implemented is being negotiated between th...

To overlook is not merely to ignore. It may involve a conscious choice to look elsewhere, or it may constitute an act of simultaneously knowing but not caring. The lack of attention given to smaller cities is a self-imposed limitation on our understa... Read More about Introduction.

Weather-driven deterioration processes affecting the performance of embankment slopes (2020)
Journal Article
Stirling, R., Toll, D., Glendinning, S., Helm, P., Yildiz, A., Hughes, P., & Asquith, J. (2021). Weather-driven deterioration processes affecting the performance of embankment slopes. Géotechnique, 71(11), 957-969. https://doi.org/10.1680/jgeot.19.sip.038

Deterioration of earthworks and the resultant implications for serviceability and increased occurrence of failures have a significant negative impact on transport networks both in the UK and internationally. There is evidence in the field that deteri... Read More about Weather-driven deterioration processes affecting the performance of embankment slopes.

Multi-country stated preferences choice analysis for fresh tomatoes (2020)
Journal Article

Photohadronic modelling of the 2010 gamma-ray flare from Mrk 421 (2020)
Journal Article
Rosales de León, A., Brown, A. M., & Chadwick, P. M. (2021). Photohadronic modelling of the 2010 gamma-ray flare from Mrk 421. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 501(2), 2198-2208. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa3839

Blazars are a subclass of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that have a relativistic jet with a small viewing angle towards the observer. Recent results based on hadronic scenarios have motivated an ongoing discussion of how a blazar can produce high ene...

I do not see the city through increasing population density. I do not see tight spaces ruled by horizontal nor vertically densification. I see regional cities, increasingly common spaces throughout the world whose geographic boundaries are expanding,... Read More about DE-densifying knowledge of cityness.

Contextualizing the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on food security in two small cities in Bangladesh (2020)
Journal Article
Ruszczyk, H., Rahman, M., Bracken, L., & Sudha, S. (2021). Contextualizing the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on food security in two small cities in Bangladesh. Environment and Urbanization, 33(1), 239-254. https://doi.org/10.1177/0956247820965156

The COVID-19 pandemic is an evolving urban crisis. This research paper assesses impacts of the lockdown on food security and associated coping mechanisms in two small cities in Bangladesh (Mongla and Noapara) during March to May 2020. Due to restrict... Read More about Contextualizing the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on food security in two small cities in Bangladesh.

Field monitoring of soil-moisture to understand the hydrological response of a road-cut slope (2020)
Book Chapter

Romero (Eds.), 4th European Conference on Unsaturated Soils (E-UNSAT 2020). EDP Sciences. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202019501029

Rainfall and slope-cutting for road construction are two key landslide causative factors in Nepal, but how they interact to cause failures is poorly understood. To improve understanding of the effects of cut slopes during rainfall, geotechnical inves...
