Towards a socio-material approach to reducing the water demand of cleanliness (2023)
Thesis
Simpson, K. Towards a socio-material approach to reducing the water demand of cleanliness. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/9642880

In the UK, water supplies are under pressure from climate, population, and lifestyle change, and showering is the largest component of domestic water consumption. Students are high water-users, in part due to pressure to conform to high standards of... Read More about Towards a socio-material approach to reducing the water demand of cleanliness.

Sustainable stabilisation of expansive road pavement foundations, pavement thickness optimisation and defects analysis (2023)
Thesis
Amakye, S. Sustainable stabilisation of expansive road pavement foundations, pavement thickness optimisation and defects analysis. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/10267642

Expansive road subgrade has been in existence for decades resulting in major road pavement defects, high maintenance/construction costs and detrimental environmental effects associated with using traditional cement and lime in subgrade stabilisation....

The spatio-temporal influence of atmospheric circulations on hydroclimate in Great Britain (2023)
Thesis
West, H. The spatio-temporal influence of atmospheric circulations on hydroclimate in Great Britain. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/9700950

Atmospheric circulations have an important influence on regional climate. Understanding the relationships between circulations, rainfall and streamflow at a regional and catchment scale is therefore of interest to water and environmental managers. Ho...

An investigation of interventions for the reduction of traffic-related air pollution at schools in England (2023)
Thesis
Brown, L. An investigation of interventions for the reduction of traffic-related air pollution at schools in England. (Thesis). University of the West of England. Retrieved from https://uwe-repository.worktribe.com/output/10194429

Children are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of air pollution exposure due to their developing lungs and their greater respiratory rate than adults. The school commute presents a period of particular threat because children are expose...
