Adopting the position of error: Space and speculation in the exploratory signifi cance of milieu formulations (2013)
Journal Article
O'Grady, N., & O'Grady, N. (2013). Adopting the position of error: Space and speculation in the exploratory signifi cance of milieu formulations. Environment and Planning D: Society and Space, 31(2), 245-258. https://doi.org/10.1068/d4211

As Foucault's writing on the role of population in managing societies through security would attest, the term milieu is not primarily a tool for analysing primary data. Instead, it is a means to model data on population according to specifi c spatial...

TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE CHINESE COASTAL MEGACITIES. A CASE STUDY OF PRACTICE IN THE PEARL RIVER DELTA (2013)
Journal Article
Chan, F. K. S., Adekola, O., Mitchell, G., Ng, C. N., & Mcdonald, A. (2013). TOWARDS SUSTAINABLE FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE CHINESE COASTAL MEGACITIES. A CASE STUDY OF PRACTICE IN THE PEARL RIVER DELTA. Irrigation and Drainage, 62(4), 501-509. https://doi.org/10.1002/ird.1733

This article analyses the current flood risk management practices in the Pearl River Delta (PRD), China. In the next four decades, 120 million people are expected to live in the region, which currently covers 11 major cities, and includes the coastal...

Reconstructing multi-decadal variations in fluvial flood risk using atmospheric circulation patterns (2013)
Journal Article
Quinn, N. W., & Wilby, R. L. (2013). Reconstructing multi-decadal variations in fluvial flood risk using atmospheric circulation patterns. Journal of Hydrology, 487, 109-121. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2013.02.038

Conventional techniques for quantifying and then managing flood risks are invalid under 'non-stationary' climate conditions. Trend detection and attribution are problematic given that the outcome depends on the start and end date of the record, choic...

Air quality action planning: why do barriers to remediation in local air quality management remain? (2013)
Journal Article
Barnes, J., Hayes, E. T., Chatterton, T., & Longhurst, J. (2014). Air quality action planning: why do barriers to remediation in local air quality management remain?. Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 57(5), 660-681. https://doi.org/10.1080/09640568.2012.762573

UK local air quality action planning has failed to remediate exceedances of air quality targets, particularly for nitrogen dioxide, which are widespread and persistent a decade after the first local action plans were drafted. This paper is relevant t... Read More about Air quality action planning: why do barriers to remediation in local air quality management remain?.

Rainwater harvesting in the UK: exploring water-user perceptions (2013)
Journal Article
Ward, S., Barr, S., Memon, F., & Butler, D. (2013). Rainwater harvesting in the UK: exploring water-user perceptions. Urban Water Journal, 10(2), 112-126. https://doi.org/10.1080/1573062X.2012.709256

Understanding the receptivity, including concerns and drivers, of water-users such as householders, is vital in facilitating the promotion, appropriate installation, end-use and maintenance of rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems. This article presents... Read More about Rainwater harvesting in the UK: exploring water-user perceptions.

Potential for carfree development in the UK (2013)
Journal Article
Melia, S., Melia, S., Barton, H., & Parkhurst, G. (2013). Potential for carfree development in the UK. Proceedings of the ICE - Urban Design and Planning, 166(2), 136-145. https://doi.org/10.1680/udap.10.00048

Carfree residential areas have been developed in a number of cities in Europe, with clear social and environmental benefits, but the concept has not been widely adopted in the UK. This paper aims to assess the potential consumer demand for housing in... Read More about Potential for carfree development in the UK.

Deliberation over new hydrogen energy technologies: Evidence from two Citizens Panels in the UK (2013)
Journal Article
Flynn, R., Flynn, R., Ricci, M., & Bellaby, P. (2013). Deliberation over new hydrogen energy technologies: Evidence from two Citizens Panels in the UK. Journal of Risk Research, 16(3-4), 379-391. https://doi.org/10.1080/13669877.2012.743160

Hydrogen energy and hydrogen energy technologies are still largely at the experimental and demonstration project stages. If the hydrogen is produced sustainably from renewable sources, it may be a potential means of reducing carbon dioxide emissions...
