It is readily accepted that understanding socio-environmental challenges requires consideration of multiple stakeholder perspectives and knowledge claims. But a largely ignored question is ‘how best to analyse those competing perspectives and claims?...

A multi-dimensional stability model for predicting shallow landslide size and shape across landscapes (2014)
Journal Article

The size of a shallow landslide is a fundamental control on both its hazard and geomorphic importance. Existing models are either unable to predict landslide size or are computationally intensive such that they cannot practically be applied across la...

Late Cenozoic (and especially Quaternary) fluvial deposits and related landforms provide valuable information about landscape evolution, not just in terms of changing drainage patterns but also documenting changes in topography and relief. Recently c... Read More about Quaternary fluvial archives and landscape evolution: a global synthesis.

Paired watershed experiments involving the removal or manipulation of forest cover in one of the watersheds have been conducted for more than a century to quantify the impact of forestry operations on streamflow. Because climate variability is expect... Read More about Seeing the climate through the trees: observing climate and forestry impacts on streamflow using a 60-year record.

In 1976, David Sugden and Brian John developed a classification for Antarctic landscapes of glacial erosion based upon exposed and eroded coastal topography, providing insight into the past glacial dynamics of the Antarctic ice sheets. We extend this... Read More about The Glacial Geomorphology of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Bed.

Comparisons are drawn with 2012 and the winter of 2013–2014... Read More about An analysis of rainfall across the British Isles in the 1870s.
