Species composition in fragmented forests: Conservation implications of changing forest area (2001)
Journal Article
Curran, P. J., Hill, J. L., & Hill, J. (2001). Species composition in fragmented forests: Conservation implications of changing forest area. Applied Geography, 21(2), 157-174. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0143-6228%2801%2900002-9

An important aspect of forest fragmentation is the ensuing change in forest area and the impact this has on species numbers and composition. Quantifying this is an important step in prioritizing forest fragments for biodiversity conservation. Species...

Why are tropical rain forests so species rich? Classifying, reviewing and evaluating theories (2001)
Journal Article
Hill, R. A., Hill, J. L., Hill, J., & Hill, R. (2001). Why are tropical rain forests so species rich? Classifying, reviewing and evaluating theories. Progress in Physical Geography, 25(3), 326-354. https://doi.org/10.1177/030913330102500302

Two classifications are presented that organize the major processes and theories addressing the high species diversity of tropical rain forests. The first typology organizes environmental and biological processes within a spatio-temporal hierarchy, w... Read More about Why are tropical rain forests so species rich?

The effect of sampling on the species-area curve (1994)
Journal Article
Hill, J., Curran, P., & Foody, G. (1994). The effect of sampling on the species-area curve. Global Ecology and Biogeography Letters, 4, 97-106

The species-area curve has been used to link the biological with the geographical. Larger areas of land would seem to contain more species as a result of both the effect of sampling (i.e. more samples are taken to represent larger areas) and ecologic...

Post-1883 ash fall on Panjang and Sertung and its ecological impact (1992)
Journal Article
Whittaker, R. J., Walden, J., & Hill, J. (1992). Post-1883 ash fall on Panjang and Sertung and its ecological impact. GeoJournal, 28(2), 153-171. https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00177228

This paper describes the post-1883 history of volcanic disturbance to the islands Panjang and Sertung, within the Krakatau group, Indonesia. Historical data are reviewed briefly, together with previous stratigraphic and geochemical data. In 1989 six... Read More about Post-1883 ash fall on Panjang and Sertung and its ecological impact.

The use of mineral magnetic analyses as an aid in investigating the recent volcanic disturbance history of the Krakatau Islands, Indonesia (1991)
Journal Article
Walden, J., Whittaker, R. J., & Hill, J. (1991). The use of mineral magnetic analyses as an aid in investigating the recent volcanic disturbance history of the Krakatau Islands, Indonesia. Holocene, 1(3), 262-268. https://doi.org/10.1177/095968369100100307

The recent disturbance of vegetation on islands within the Krakatau group, Indonesia, by a succession of ash falls from Anak Krakatau, has complicated studies of tropical ecosystem recovery since the major eruption of 1883 provided a ‘clean slate’. M... Read More about The use of mineral magnetic analyses as an aid in investigating the recent volcanic disturbance history of the Krakatau Islands, Indonesia.

Interdisciplinary enquiry into learning and teaching: Lessons from geography
Book Chapter
Hill, J., Walkington, H., & King, H. Interdisciplinary enquiry into learning and teaching: Lessons from geography. In E. Cleaver, M. Lintern, & M. MClinden (Eds.), Researching Learning and Teaching in Higher Education: Disciplinary Approaches to Educational Enquiry. London: Sage Publishers

In this chapter we explore how research in the discipline of geography can help you to undertake productive enquiry into learning and teaching in higher education. We outline the characteristics that geographers in higher education possess and highli... Read More about Interdisciplinary enquiry into learning and teaching: Lessons from geography.

Borderland spaces: Moving towards self-authorship
Book Chapter
Hill, J., Walkington, H., & Kneale, P. (2018). Borderland spaces: Moving towards self-authorship. In T. Bilham, C. Hamshire, M. Hartog, & M. Doolan (Eds.), Reframing Space for Learning: Empowering Excellence and Innovation in University Teaching and Learning (1-15). London: UCL/IoE Press

The borderland spaces concept offers a powerful means for representing and reframing educational discourses (Hill et al, 2016). It encourages a relational examination of pedagogic spaces, identities and practices, inter-weaving the three socio-spatia... Read More about Borderland spaces: Moving towards self-authorship.
