© Bloomsbury 2014. Nathaniel Hawthorne’s nineteenth-century romance The Scarlet Letter centers on the simple transgression of adultery and its social consequences. Hawthorne’s narrative and storytelling skill, however, are far from simple; the author... Read More about The scarlet letter: A critical review.

Impact of the envelope geometry on cooling demand in very airtight UK dwellings under current and future weather projections (2014)
Journal Article
Lavafpour, Y., & Sharples, S. (2014). Impact of the envelope geometry on cooling demand in very airtight UK dwellings under current and future weather projections. Energy Procedia, 62, 421-430. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.egypro.2014.12.404

© 2014 The Author. The Passivhaus strategy employs super insulation to reduce the heat transfer through the building envelope. It has been argued that super insulated homes are vulnerable to summer overheating risks, even in the current climate. The...

The role of flood memory in the impact of repeat flooding on mental health (2014)
Book Chapter
Lamond, J. (2014). The role of flood memory in the impact of repeat flooding on mental health. In D. Proverbs, & C. Brebbia (Eds.), Flood Recovery, Innovation and Response IV. Ashurst, UK: WIT Press

A highly important but under researched impact of flood events is the long term psychological effect of the distress and trauma caused by damage and losses associated with repeated flooding of communities. As a part of the recovery process responders... Read More about The role of flood memory in the impact of repeat flooding on mental health.

A dynamic approach to urban road deposited sediment pollution monitoring (Marylebone Road, London, UK) (2014)
Journal Article
Crosby, C. J., Fullen, M. A., Booth, C. A., & Searle, D. E. (2014). A dynamic approach to urban road deposited sediment pollution monitoring (Marylebone Road, London, UK). Journal of Applied Geophysics, 105, 10-20. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jappgeo.2014.03.006

The use of mineral magnetic measurements (χLF, χARM and SIRM) as a potential pollution proxy using road deposited sediment (RDS) is explored as an alternative means of monitoring pollution on a busy city road. Comparison of sediment-related analytica... Read More about A dynamic approach to urban road deposited sediment pollution monitoring (Marylebone Road, London, UK).
