HomeLabs: Mapping household clusters to understand water and energy consumption behaviours (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Utility companies are continuously seeking new ways to understand the intricate nature of household water and energy usage patterns. Conventional “demand management” interventions usually proceed from an “information deficit” approach to behaviour ch...

Bayesian network analysis of domestic water and energy use in Bristol (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Understanding the factors influencing domestic water and energy conservation is crucial for promoting sustainable development and resource conservation while achieving well-being and comfort at home. Bayesian networks (BN) are a powerful tool for mod... Read More about Bayesian network analysis of domestic water and energy use in Bristol.

A meta-model for understanding ‘green-red loop’ social-water interactions at a global scale (2024)
Journal Article

Within the coupled human and natural systems (CHANS), social-water interactions exhibit the ‘green-loop’ and ‘red-loop’ patterns, where social development is dependent on the local and external environment for resource provision, respectively. Sustai... Read More about A meta-model for understanding ‘green-red loop’ social-water interactions at a global scale.

Exploring domestic consumption patterns: A HomeLabs study on water and energy use (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Water and energy utilities are in constant pursuit of deeper insights into consumer use patterns within homes. Traditional demand management strategies often rely on an "information deficit" model, presuming that consumer behaviour can be altered sim...

The role of GBGI in levelling up in Bristol: A secondary analysis (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This poster summarises the results of our analysis of green-blue-grey infrastructure in relation to health and social outcomes in Bristol.

The role of GBGI in levelling up in Bristol (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We examined the association between provision and experience of a range of green-blue-grey infrastructure and neighbourhood satisfaction, life satisfaction, wellbeing and general health. We found that satisfaction with greenspace was the most consist... Read More about The role of GBGI in levelling up in Bristol.

The IAHS Science for Solutions decade, with Hydrology Engaging Local People IN a Global world (HELPING) (2024)
Journal Article

The new scientific decade (2023-2032) of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) aims at searching for sustainable solutions to undesired water conditions - may it be too little, too much or too polluted. Many of the current iss... Read More about The IAHS Science for Solutions decade, with Hydrology Engaging Local People IN a Global world (HELPING).

Building height and density effects related to winter and summer temperature and precipitation simulation based on Local Climate Zones in a coastal city: A case study of Istanbul (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The temperature and precipitation extremes of coastal cities are modulated by land-atmospheric interactions and modified land surfaces. Local climate zones are used as land use representations in a convection-permitting model to simulate precipitatio...

Exploring continental convection-permitting model simulations for South America: Cross-correlation dynamics between precipitation and temperature time series at Sao Paulo (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Increasing spatial resolution to kilometre scales allows the deactivation of deep convection parameterisation schemes. As a result of various global initiatives for the next generation of climate studies, continental convection-permitting model (CPM)...

Dynamic hydrological niche segregation: How plants compete for water in a semi-arid ecosystem (2024)
Journal Article

Hydrological niche segregation (HNS), specifically the variation in root water uptake depth among coexisting species, is an understudied area of research. This is especially the case in semi-arid ecosystems, such as China's Loess Plateau (CLP), where...

The nature and extent of bomb tritium remaining in deep vadose zone: A synthesis and prognosis (2024)
Journal Article

Tritium present in deep vadose zones is a useful tracer for estimating groundwater recharge, but its full utility is constrained by not knowing where and for how long the tritium tracing method remains applicable. We obtained 44 tritium profiles from... Read More about The nature and extent of bomb tritium remaining in deep vadose zone: A synthesis and prognosis.

Application of multiple stable isotopes to aid identification of the origin of regional and organic animal products in Hesse, Germany (2023)
Journal Article

There is an increasing global demand for regional and organic produce. However, the growth of these markets depends on consumers’ trust. Thus, novel methods must be developed to aid the verification of the origin of produce. We built on our previous...
