A multivariate comparison of the BERMS flux-tower climate observations and Canadian Coupled Global Climate Model (CGCM3) outputs (2014)
Journal Article

Multiple variables from simulated climate fields are widely used in hydrological and ecological models and climate impact assessments, yet the importance of multivariate climate relationships is not widely recognised. This study evaluates climatic ou... Read More about A multivariate comparison of the BERMS flux-tower climate observations and Canadian Coupled Global Climate Model (CGCM3) outputs.

Strength assessment during shallow penetration of a sphere in clay (2014)
Journal Article

Strength interpretation from the measured penetration resistance of full-flow penetrometers, such as the T-bar and ball, is generally based on a constant bearing capacity factor associated with a deep flow-round mechanism. This approach may underesti... Read More about Strength assessment during shallow penetration of a sphere in clay.

Mems accelerometers for measuring dynamic penetration events in geotechnical centrifuge tests (2014)
Journal Article

Micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometers are small, inexpensive sensors that have only recently been used in geotechnical centrifuge tests. This is unlike piezoelectric accelerometers, which are by comparison large and expensive but have...

Experimental study of dense pyroclastic density currents using sustained, gas-fluidized granular flows (2014)
Journal Article

© 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. We present the results of laboratory experiments on the behaviour of sustained, dense granular flows in a horizontal flume, in which high-gas pore pressure was maintained throughout the flow duration by cont...

Tourism and water: from stakeholders to rights holders, and what tourism businesses need to do (2014)
Journal Article

Water is a human right and it is essential to sustain life and livelihoods, as well as the health and happiness of tourists. This paper examines a destination with ample rain, but rapid and unchecked tourism development: Bali, Indonesia. The mismanag...

Co-managing carbon and air quality: Pros and cons of local sustainability initiatives (2014)
Journal Article

This paper reports the pros and cons of co-management (i.e. concerted actions towards climate change and air quality management) through local sustainability initiatives using three case studies, each encompassing the planning and management issues a...

EXCAVATIONS AT CATHOLE CAVE, GOWER, SWANSEA (2014)
Journal Article

The discovery of an engraving in Cathole Cave in 2010 led to a decision to grille the cave. In 2012 excavations took place in the cave ahead of the grilling. Two areas of the cave were excavated; Trench A demonstrating that the cave held a faunal occ... Read More about EXCAVATIONS AT CATHOLE CAVE, GOWER, SWANSEA.

Perceptions, knowledge, adaptation and socio-economic cost of climate change in Northern Nigeria (2014)
Journal Article

The objective of this paper is to assess the perceptions and determine the ability of farmers in rural Northern Nigeria to explain climate change, and to ascertain the socio-economic cost of climate change to them. The study also sought to understand... Read More about Perceptions, knowledge, adaptation and socio-economic cost of climate change in Northern Nigeria.
