Who hosts a politics of welcome? – Commentary to Gill
(Geographical Society of Finland, 2018-05-22)This review is written as a letter, and addressed to my colleague Nick Gill. It is an effort to continue conversations about the politics of welcome as they relate to practices of asylum and our academic modes of inquiry ... -
Tracking fine-scale structural changes in coastal dune morphology using kite aerial photography and uncertainty-assessed Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry (article)
(MDPI, 2018)Coastal dunes are globally-distributed dynamic ecosystems that occur at the land-sea interface. They are sensitive to disturbance both from natural forces and anthropogenic stressors, and therefore require regular monitoring ... -
Tracking fine-scale structural changes in coastal dune morphology using kite aerial photography and uncertainty-assessed Structure-from-Motion photogrammetry (dataset)
(University of Exeter, 2018-09-17)This is the dataset used for the Duffy et al. (2018) article "Tracking fine-scale structural changes in coastal dune morphology using kite aerial photography and uncertainty-assessed structure-from-motion photogrammetry" ... -
The Mid-Pleistocene Transition induced by delayed feedback and bistability
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018)The Mid-Pleistocene Transition, the shift from 41 kyr to 100 kyr glacial-interglacial cycles that occurred roughly 1 Myr ago, is often considered as a change in internal climate dynamics. Here we revisit the model of ... -
The legacy of 4,500 years of polyculture agroforestry in the eastern Amazon
(Springer Nature, 2018-07-23)The legacy of pre-Columbian land use in the Amazonian rainforest is one of the most controversial topics in the social1-10 and natural sciences11,12. Until now, the debate has been limited to discipline-specific studies, ... -
Seasonality of Oithona similis and Calanus helgolandicus reproduction and abundance: Contrasting responses to environmental variation at a shelf site
(Oxford University Press, 2018-05-01)The pelagic copepods Oithona similis and Calanus helgolandicus have overlapping geographic ranges, yet contrast in feeding mode, reproductive strategy and body size. We investigate how these contrasting traits influence ... -
Tree diversity and above-ground biomass in the South America Cerrado biome and their conservation implications
(Springer Verlag, 2018-06-28)Less than half of the original two million square kilometers of the Cerrado vegetation remains standing, and there are still many uncertainties as to how to conserve and prioritize remaining areas effectively. A key ... -
What controls local-scale aboveground biomass variation in central Africa? Testing structural, composition and architectural attributes
(Elsevier, 2018-08-03)Tropical forests play a key role in regulating the terrestrial carbon cycle and climate change by storing a large amount of carbon. Yet, there is considerable uncertainty about the amount and spatial variation of aboveground ... -
Climate change communication in Colombia
(Oxford University Press, 2017-04-26)Peru is one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet. More than 65% of the country is covered by the Amazon rainforest, and the Andes region is home to more than 70% of the world’s tropical glaciers. This abundance ... -
New Insights From Pre-Columbian Land Use and Fire Management in Amazonian Dark Earth Forests
(Frontiers Media, 2018-08-03)Anthropogenic climate change driven by increased carbon emissions is leading to more severe fire seasons and increasing the frequency of mega-fires in the Amazon. This has the potential to convert Amazon forests from net ... -
Mapping upland peat depth using airborne radiometric and lidar survey data
(Elsevier, 2019-01-01)A method to estimate peat depth and extent is vital for accurate estimation of carbon stocks and to facilitate appropriate peatland management. Current methods for direct measurement (e.g. ground penetrating radar, probing) ... -
Eyeopener: drawing landscape near and far
(Wiley, 2018-08-09)This paper is about learning to see the world anew – but also about doubting and qualifying that newness. Drawing on a practice‐led art–geography collaboration, in which en plein air painting and drawing was the primary ... -
Spaces of visibility in the smart city: flagship urban spaces and the smart urban imaginary
(SAGE Publications, 2018)Smart urbanism is a currently popular and widespread way of conceptualising the future city. At the same time, the smart city is critiqued by several scholars as difficult to define, and as being almost invisible to the ... -
Land-use emissions play a critical role in land-based mitigation for Paris climate targets.
(Nature Publishing Group, 2018-08-07)Scenarios that limit global warming to below 2 °C by 2100 assume significant land-use change to support large-scale carbon dioxide (CO2) removal from the atmosphere by afforestation/reforestation, avoided deforestation, ... -
Trajectories of the Earth System in the Anthropocene
(National Academy of Sciences, 2018-08-06)We explore the risk that self-reinforcing feedbacks could push the Earth System toward a planetary threshold that, if crossed, could prevent stabilization of the climate at intermediate temperature rises and cause continued ... -
Reef fish carbonate production assessments highlight regional variation in sedimentary significance (article)
(Geological Society of America, 2018-07-12)Recent studies show that all marine bony fish produce mud-sized (<63 µm) carbonate at rates relevant to carbonate sediment budgets, thus adding to the debate about the often enigmatic origins of fine-grained marine carbonates. ... -
Economic and Non-Economic Barriers and Drivers for the Uptake of Renewables
(UC Berkeley: Center for Effective Global Action, 2017-12-19)Large scale renewables raise new challenges and provide new opportunities across electricity systems. This paper considers the barriers faced by large scale renewables in electricity systems in Sub-Saharan Africa and South ... -
