Ecohydrological disturbances associated with roads: Current knowledge, research needs, and management concerns with reference to the tropics (2017)
Journal Article
Wemple, B. C., Browning, T., Ziegler, A. D., Celi, J., Chun, K. P. S., Jaramillo, F., …Sawyer, D. (2018). Ecohydrological disturbances associated with roads: Current knowledge, research needs, and management concerns with reference to the tropics. Ecohydrology, 11(3), Article e1881. https://doi.org/10.1002/eco.1881

Roads are a pervasive form of disturbance with potential to negatively affect ecohydrological processes. Some of the most rapid growth in road networks is occurring in developing countries, particularly in the tropics, where political agendas are oft...

Achieving 100% pass rate and NSS feedback for a module: How we did it (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Hill, J., & West, H. (2017, June). Achieving 100% pass rate and NSS feedback for a module: How we did it. Paper presented at UWE Teaching & Learning Conference, UWE, Bristol

Assessment exercises a major influence on student learning and achievement (Boud 2007). Yet QAA reviews and pedagogic literature identify assessment practices as one of the weakest features of Higher Education (Rust et al. 2005). In terms of the stud...

Residential through traffic: Quantitative evidence from participant observation (2017)
Journal Article
Ward, S. (2017). Residential through traffic: Quantitative evidence from participant observation. World Transport Policy and Practice, 23(1), 7-19

Concerns about the effects of traffic levels on the life of neighbourhoods are very common. This paper uses participant observation to show how one community was able to organise and administer traffic surveys to obtain quantitative evidence of their...

Recent increases in permafrost thaw rates and areal loss of palsas in the Western Northwest Territories, Canada (2017)
Journal Article
Mamet, S. D., Chun, K. P., Kershaw, G. G., Loranty, M. M., & Peter Kershaw, G. (2017). Recent increases in permafrost thaw rates and areal loss of palsas in the Western Northwest Territories, Canada. Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, 28(4), 619-633. https://doi.org/10.1002/ppp.1951

Decay of palsas can indicate permafrost status, particularly in regions where air temperatures have increased rapidly in recent decades. Using weather data, annual surveys of active-layer thickness, and analyses of high-resolution aerial imagery from...
