Laser-dyeing for Sustainable Textile Design (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Current industry standards for dyeing woollen textiles use high temperatures and long processing times to aid dye diffusion. The consumption of water, energy and chemicals used in dyeing and finishing processes have been identified as key challenges... Read More about Laser-dyeing for Sustainable Textile Design.

Presentation / Conference Contribution

The effect of CO2 laser irradiation on surface and dyeing properties of wool for textile design (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The consumption of water and energy used in current dyeing and finishing processes in the textile industry pose significant environmental concern. By offering alternative solutions to traditional textile wet processing through laser technology, there...

Sustainable urban drainage: Retrofitting for improved flood mitigation in city centres (2014)
Report

AIM
The aim of this research was to examine the potential for mitigation of predominantly pluvial flooding in CBDs through retrofitting of such systems. The research used two case study areas to explore the challenges and opportunities for retrofit...

Wind convection coefficient correlations for CPV modules (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Heat loss due to convection cooling from photovoltaic modules exposed to the external environment plays an important role in the study of photovoltaic design. It is well documented that thermal loss from external surfaces constitutes a large portion... Read More about Wind convection coefficient correlations for CPV modules.

Change risk assessment for Scotland (2012)
Report

The UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) for Scotland was one of three devolved administration reports produced by the UK Government as part of the first ever UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA1).
This report identified specific threats as... Read More about Change risk assessment for Scotland.

The UK’s first climate change risk assessment and the implications for the coast (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In 2008 the Climate Change Act was passed into law in the UK. This provides a legally binding framework for reducing carbon emissions. Much of the focus of the Act is on reducing emissions and hence on mitigation measures, however, the Act also req...

Minimum sample size determination for generalized extreme value distribution (2010)
Journal Article

Sample size determination is an important issue in statistical analysis. Obviously, the larger the sample size is, the better the statistical results we have. However, in many areas such as coastal engineering and environmental sciences, it can be ve... Read More about Minimum sample size determination for generalized extreme value distribution.

Novel method and system for monitoring CPV cell and module temperature (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents a novel system for accurate monitoring of photovoltaic cell temperature, allowing the introduction of thermal management strategies critical to maintaining high efficiencies and cell lifetimes. The sensor device outlined consists... Read More about Novel method and system for monitoring CPV cell and module temperature.

The validation and verification of CFD models of heat transfer and airflow within CPV modules (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Simulation models are used for predicting a photovoltaic concentrator's performance. It is desirable to analyse theoretically any given system as extensively as possible before embarking on expensive construction. Calculation of the flow fields both...

A longer-range strategy for car-bus interchange: The 'link-and-ride' concept (2000)
Journal Article

It is widely acknowledged that there can be disadvantages due to bus-based park and ride schemes constructed at the edge of the urban area as well as benefits. The present paper considers how these disbenefits might be reduced. In the main it is argu... Read More about A longer-range strategy for car-bus interchange: The 'link-and-ride' concept.

The environmental and socio-economic impacts of changing agri-environment payments in Queens Sedgemoor, Somerset Levels
Report

The moor appears to be nitrate limited, but there is evidence that may suggest there is significant nitrate input in parts of the moor. It would be instructive to understand the flux of nitrates as water move through the ditch system in more detail....

End-of-life decision making for onshore wind and solar farms in Great Britain. Research findings and recommendations
Report

In the context of a global transition to decarbonise the energy system and meet NetZero targets, expanding energy output from renewables is increasingly important. However, space for renewable energy infrastructure is limited and existing wind farms... Read More about End-of-life decision making for onshore wind and solar farms in Great Britain.
