How to improve the walking realm in a car-oriented city? (Dis)agreements between professionals (2021)
Journal Article

Purpose: Urban environments and transport systems can enable and encourage walking, and therefore play a key role in climate action, public health, equity of access, and population wellbeing. The question, especially in cities that have been dominate... Read More about How to improve the walking realm in a car-oriented city? (Dis)agreements between professionals.

Species-specific control of DBH and landscape characteristics on tree-to-tree variability of sap velocity (2021)
Journal Article

The substantial tree-to-tree variability of transpiration poses a major challenge to a reliable stand-scale quantification of transpiration. The diameter at breast height (DBH) and landscape characteristics have been identified as drivers of tree-to-...

Designing ‘youth master plans’ in a CLE space: Lessons from using Minecraft in secondary school outreach project in Scotland (2021)
Journal Article

In response to problems of neoliberal urbanism agenda, Lefebvre (1991) argued for a 'right to the city' so that more people are involved in the (re-) production of urban spaces (Purcell 2002). The challenge being to translate this ‘right’ into practi...

Atmospheric ammonia and nitrogen deposition on Irish Natura 2000 sites: Implications for Irish agriculture (2021)
Journal Article

With growing global demand for food, the agriculture sector worldwide is under pressure to intensify and expand, risking acceleration of existing negative biodiversity impacts. Agriculture is the dominant source of ammonia (NH3) emissions, which can...

On 23 April 2020, one month after the UK Prime Minister announced a national lockdown in response to COVID-19, PTRC hosted an online Fireside Chat to address the implications for transport of the pandemic. At a point when working (full-time) from hom... Read More about Chatting round the fireside - transport tales from the pandemic.

Quantifying land use heterogeneity on drought conditions for mitigation strategies development in the Dongjiang River Basin, China (2021)
Journal Article

Spatially-invariant land use and cover changes (LUCC) are not suitable for managing non-stationary drought conditions. Therefore, developing a spatially varying framework for managing land resources is necessary. In this study, the Dongjiang River Ba...

How should automated vehicles (AVs) interpret the rules of the road? A critical analysis of public expectations of interactions between AVs and road users (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Debates on how automated vehicles (AVs) would navigate the environment and behave while mixing with traffic have so far focused on technological capabilities and remained confined in expert circles, with very little dialogue with the public about the...

Analysing spatial intrapersonal variability of road users using point-to-point sensor data (2021)
Journal Article

The availability of newly emerging forms of data in recent years has provided new opportunities to study spatial intrapersonal variability, namely the variability in an individual’s destination and route choices from day to day. As well as providing... Read More about Analysing spatial intrapersonal variability of road users using point-to-point sensor data.

Probabilistic-based approach for evaluating the thermal response of concrete slabs under fire loading (2021)
Journal Article

Performance-based design for fire safety has been introduced in several international design frameworks. The fire models and simulations include various assumptions and simplifications, and the current fire resistance evaluation is based on determini...

There is an urgent need to address a range of environmental issues, including climate change, but the policies enacted to date have usually done nothing to address class inequities and have often led to increased working-class disadvantage. The cause... Read More about The failure of lifestyle environmentalism and the promise of the Green New Deal for working-class people.

Identifying drivers of streamflow extremes in West Africa to inform a nonstationary prediction model (2021)
Journal Article

West Africa exhibits decadal patterns in the behaviour of droughts and floods, creating challenges for effective water resources management. Proposed drivers of prolonged shifts in hydrological extremes include the impacts of land-cover change and cl...

Effect of sea level rise on the overtopping of English coastal defences (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

With a rise in sea levels, there is a consequent increase in the risk to coastal communities of the severity and magnitude of flood events. However these increased risks are not spatially consistent, and the type and nature of a coastal defence may... Read More about Effect of sea level rise on the overtopping of English coastal defences.
