Investigating and predicting spatiotemporal variations in vegetation cover in transitional climate zone: A case study of Gansu (China) (2022)
Journal Article
He, Q., Chun, K., Dieppois, B., Chen, L., Fan, P. Y., Toker, E., …Pan, X. (2022). Investigating and predicting spatiotemporal variations in vegetation cover in transitional climate zone: A case study of Gansu (China). Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 150, 283–307. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00704-022-04140-2

Vegetation ecosystems are sensitive to large-scale climate variability in climate transition zones. As a representative transitional climate zone in Northwest China, Gansu is characterized by a sharp climate and vegetation gradient. In this study, th...

Correlating floodplain geochemical profiles with archival historical mining records to establish depositional chronologies of river sediment (2022)
Journal Article
Parker, A. J., Milan, D. J., & McEwen, L. J. (2022). Correlating floodplain geochemical profiles with archival historical mining records to establish depositional chronologies of river sediment. CATENA, 218, 106532. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.catena.2022.106532

Chronological markers in fluvial sediments can provide useful information on geomorphic response to historic catchment disturbance, and help explain historic channel morphodynamics. We concentrate on the River Nent catchment in Northern England, whic...

Perceived accessibility of employment sites by jobseekers and the potential relevance of employer-subsidised demand responsive transport to enhance the commute (2022)
Journal Article
Calvert, T., Crawford, F., Parkhurst, G., & Parkin, J. (2022). Perceived accessibility of employment sites by jobseekers and the potential relevance of employer-subsidised demand responsive transport to enhance the commute. Cities, 130, 103872. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cities.2022.103872

The constraints placed by the transport options available to job-seekers are key factors for the accessibility of employment locations and therefore social inclusion. The present paper investigates the importance of these constraints and the potentia...

Being in the hyper city and the posthuman body (2022)
Journal Article
Landi, D. (2022). Being in the hyper city and the posthuman body. FOOTPRINT, Vol. 16 No. 1 (2022):(Issue # 30 | Spring/ Summer 2022), 16. https://doi.org/10.7480/footprint.16.1

Since ancient times, the analogy of the body in relation to buildings was central both in Western and Eastern architectural and urban design. Over time, the prevalence of economies over inhabitants’ experience led to the adoption of architectural and... Read More about Being in the hyper city and the posthuman body.

Influence of orographic precipitation on coevolving landforms and vegetation in semi-arid ecosystems (2022)
Journal Article
Srivastava, A., Yetemen, O., Saco, P., Rodriguez, J., Kumari, N., & Chun, K. (2022). Influence of orographic precipitation on coevolving landforms and vegetation in semi-arid ecosystems. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 47(12), https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5427

Topography affects the intensity and spatial distribution of precipitation due to orographic lifting mechanisms and, in turn, influences the prevailing climate and vegetation distribution. Previous modelling studies on the impact of orographic precip... Read More about Influence of orographic precipitation on coevolving landforms and vegetation in semi-arid ecosystems.
