Journal Article
Dyer, S., Hill, J., Walkington, H., Couper, P., McMorran, C., Oates, Y., …West, H. (in press). Courageous and compassionate teaching: International reflections on our responses to teaching geography during the pandemic. Journal of Geography in Higher Education, https://doi.org/10.1080/03098265.2023.2266999

This paper reflects on what we learnt about teaching geography during the COVID-19 pandemic. We interrogate how we, as geography educators working in different contexts, navigated the novel teaching spaces created during the pandemic using two key re...

Reflections on disciplinary perspectives on students as partners (2023)
Journal Article
Healey, M., Healey, R. L., & West, H. (2023). Reflections on disciplinary perspectives on students as partners. International Journal for Students as Partners, 7(1), 1-13. https://doi.org/10.15173/ijsap.v7i1.5444

In thinking about writing this editorial, as three geographers, we began by wanting to reflect on what, if any, difference our discipline made to our lived experiences of engaging with students as partners (SaP). These reflections led us to explore b... Read More about Reflections on disciplinary perspectives on students as partners.

Pandemic pedagogies: Reflecting on online learning using the community of inquiry framework (2023)
Journal Article
West, H., Hill, J., Abzhaparova, A., Cox, W., & Alexander, A. (2024). Pandemic pedagogies: Reflecting on online learning using the community of inquiry framework. Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 48(2), 157-176. https://doi.org/10.1080/03098265.2023.2190962

The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in profound disruption to geography higher education. A pivot to online teaching required staff to rapidly adapt their practices to novel digital spaces. Whilst many studies have reported the different pedagogic approac... Read More about Pandemic pedagogies: Reflecting on online learning using the community of inquiry framework.

How to thrive when studying online (2022)
Journal Article
Cox, W., Alexander, A., West, H., Abzhaparova, A., & Hill, J. (2023). How to thrive when studying online. Journal of Geography in Higher Education, 47(3), 502-511. https://doi.org/10.1080/03098265.2022.2087214

The Covid-19 pandemic led to significant changes in higher education institutions, with a rapid pivot from on-campus to online teaching and learning. The move to predominantly online teaching resulted in a very different learning experience for many... Read More about How to thrive when studying online.

Dialogic feed forward in assessment: Pivotal to learning but not unproblematic (2022)
Journal Article
Hill, J., & West, H. (2022). Dialogic feed forward in assessment: Pivotal to learning but not unproblematic. Teaching and Learning Inquiry, 10, https://doi.org/10.20343/teachlearninqu.10.20

A key debate in higher education is how assessment and feedback can be constructed to maximize opportunities for meaningful student learning. In this paper, we explore how a learning-focused model of feedback, teacher-student dialogic feed-forward, i...

The influence of the North Atlantic oscillation & East Atlantic pattern on drought in British catchments (2022)
Journal Article
West, H., Quinn, N., & Horswell, M. (2022). The influence of the North Atlantic oscillation & East Atlantic pattern on drought in British catchments. Frontiers in Environmental Science, 10, Article 754597. https://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2022.754597

Drought events are influenced by a combination of both climatic and local catchment characteristics. In Great Britain the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has long been recognised as the leading mode of climate variability, and studies have also note...

The spatio-temporal influence of atmospheric circulations on monthly precipitation in Great Britain (2022)
Journal Article
West, H., White, P., Quinn, N., & Horswell, M. (2022). The spatio-temporal influence of atmospheric circulations on monthly precipitation in Great Britain. Atmosphere, 13(3), Article 429. https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos13030429

It has long been understood that the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is a key driver of regional climate in Great Britain and across Europe. However, studies have also noted that there is spatio-temporal variability in NAO-rainfall signatures which...

Spatio-temporal propagation of North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) rainfall deviations to streamflow in British catchments (2022)
Journal Article

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) teleconnection is often cited as the leading mode of climate variability in Great Britain. The NAO has been found to produce significant rainfall deviations that vary in space and time. This study sought to analys...
