The application and barriers of BIM in sustainable building design (2017)
Journal Article
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore and rank the benefits and barriers (technological and non-technological) of using Building Information Modelling (BIM) in sustainable building design. It also employs the use of a design tool analysis... Read More about The application and barriers of BIM in sustainable building design.
Embodied carbon mitigation and reduction in the built environment – What does the evidence say? (2016)
Journal Article
Of all industrial sectors, the built environment puts the most pressure on the natural environment, and in spite of significant efforts the International Energy Agency suggests that buildings-related emissions are on track to double by 2050. Whilst o... Read More about Embodied carbon mitigation and reduction in the built environment – What does the evidence say?.

The use of state-of-the-art transport models by policymakers – beauty in simplicity? (2016)
Journal Article
Abstract: Transport demand models have a long history of being a major tool in transport policy making. However, whether they are truly used in decision-making processes, and if so, whether the knowledge they provide is actually understood, is questi...

Micromorphology of the lower Pleistocene loess in the Iranian Loess Plateau and its paleoclimatic implications (2016)
Journal Article
The loess deposits in Iran are a valuable archive of regional paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental information. Extensive sedimentological and chronological studies have been carried out on the middle to upper Pleistocene loess successions during the...

Grain-size distribution of Pleistocene loess deposits in northern Iran and its palaeoclimatic implications (2016)
Journal Article
The loess deposits in northern Iran are located in a key region connected to the European and central Asian loess belts. However, the lack of previous detailed sedimentological and palaeoclimatic studies of the Pleistocene loess in the region limits...

Early Pleistocene climate in western arid central Asia inferred from loess-palaeosol sequences (2016)
Journal Article
Arid central Asia (ACA) is one of the most arid regions in the mid-latitudes and one of the main potential dust sources for the northern hemisphere. The lack of in situ early Pleistocene loess/dust records from ACA hinders our comprehensive understan...

Pathways to low carbon building: Reflection on the special issue (2015)
Journal Article
In 2014, this journal invited me to edit a special issue on low carbon building. We put out a call for papers that offered new perspectives, crossing boundaries between technical and social research approaches. The six papers selected and published h...

Investigating the social value of the Ripon rivers flood alleviation scheme (2015)
Journal Article
This paper argues for an approach to flood alleviation design that considers the need not only for technical knowledge, but also a social perspective. It is predicted that more intense rainfall and rising sea levels will result in a greater number of... Read More about Investigating the social value of the Ripon rivers flood alleviation scheme.
