Temporal trends in δ18O composition of precipitation in Germany: Insights from time series modelling and trend analysis (2014)
Journal Article
Klaus, J., Chun, K. P., & Stumpp, C. (2015). Temporal trends in δ18O composition of precipitation in Germany: Insights from time series modelling and trend analysis. Hydrological Processes, 29(12), 2668-2680. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.10395

Temporal and spatial variations of stable oxygen (18O) and hydrogen (2H) isotope measurements in precipitation act as important proxies for changing hydro-meteorological and regional and global climate patterns. Temporal trends in time series of the... Read More about Temporal trends in δ18O composition of precipitation in Germany: Insights from time series modelling and trend analysis.

Robust rainwater harvesting: Probabilistic tank sizing for climate change adaptation (2014)
Journal Article
Lash, D., Ward, S., Kershaw, T., Butler, D., & Eames, M. (2014). Robust rainwater harvesting: Probabilistic tank sizing for climate change adaptation. Journal of Water and Climate Change, 5(4), 526-539. https://doi.org/10.2166/wcc.2014.080

© IWA Publishing 2014. Rainwater harvesting (RWH) systems are increasingly being implemented in buildings. It is common in the UK for simple RWH tank sizing methods to be utilised, and these do not consider future climate change. This paper describes...

© 2014 Elsevier B.V. A systemic valuation was undertaken of marginal changes in ecosystem services assessed as likely to result from the Steart Coastal Management project, some in monetary terms and others semi-quantified. The Steart Coastal Manageme... Read More about Ecosystem services assessment at Steart Peninsula, Somerset, UK.

Shared space: Research, policy and problems (2014)
Journal Article
Moody, S., & Melia, S. (2014). Shared space: Research, policy and problems. Proceedings of the ICE - Transport, 167(6), 384-392. https://doi.org/10.1680/tran.12.00047

Shared space is an approach to street design which minimises demarcations between vehicles and pedestrians. It has become particularly influential in the UK, where a comprehensive study of shared space schemes has informed recently published nationa...

Re-thinking destitution in the UK: Typologies, spaces and transitions (2014)
Journal Article
Gopinath, D. (2014). Re-thinking destitution in the UK: Typologies, spaces and transitions. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJHRCS.2014.067881

Destitution, a severe form of poverty still persists in modern, industrialised nations such as the UK despite a robust, social security system in place. Increased use of food banks, inadequate housing provisions, etc., point to evidence that there ar... Read More about Re-thinking destitution in the UK: Typologies, spaces and transitions.
