An exploration of greenspace metric proximity and NDVI vs configurational accessibility from residential postcodes in the West of England (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Greenspaces are recognised as important features of an urban environment which are visited by residents for different purposes. This paper investigates the relationship between residents in the West of England and their surrounding greenspaces, by st...

Assessing the spatiotemporal impact of users’ exposure and vulnerability to flood risk in urban built environments (2023)
Journal Article

Flood risk in an urban built environment depends on the combination of the hazard, the vulnerability of the built environment itself and its infrastructure (referred to as physical vulnerability), and the exposure and vulnerability...

Shops, churches, pubs, social clubs, libraries, parks, schools, streets, windowsills, gardens, pavements... These public spaces can have an extraordinary effect on well-being in a community. They bring people together and form the bonds that lead to... Read More about Pieces of Us.

Identifying the impacts of land-use spatial patterns on street-network accessibility using geospatial methods (2023)
Journal Article

While the land use-street network nexus is well acknowledged, evidence for the one-way impacts of land-use patterns on street accessibility is still inadequate. The measurements of land-use patterns and street accessibility lack systematic knowledge....

Measures of greenspace exposure and their association to health-related outcomes for the periods before and during 2020’s Lockdown: A cross-sectional study in the West of England (2023)
Journal Article

Greenspaces are argued to be one of the important features in the urban environment that impact the health of the population. Previous research suggested either positive, negative or no associations between greenspaces and health-related outcomes. Th...

Drift and diffusion functions of historical time series and UKCP18 convection-permitting model outputs for Bristol and Filton (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

As global temperatures continue to rise and affect atmospheric dynamics, there is a growing need to develop methods for investigating the temporal evolution of climate fields. These methods are useful to quantify both short- and long-term changes, as...

Willing to have, willing to help, or ready to own — Determinants of variants of stewardship social practices around blue-green infrastructure in dense urban communities (2023)
Journal Article

Introduction: There is increasing acceptance of the desirability of involving communities in stewardship activities around urban blue-green infrastructure (BGI) to generate acceptance, reduce vandalism and decrease the maintenance burden on authoriti...

Amidst urban edges (2022)
Book Chapter

Urban edges advance a reflection on human territoriality and the capacity of remaking territory in relation to public spaces. This social territory making includes a set of appropriation and consequences of presence in public space. Urban edges are i... Read More about Amidst urban edges.

A case study: The deployment of a novel in situ fluorimeter for monitoring biological contamination within the urban surface waters of Kolkata, India (2022)
Journal Article

The quality and health of many of our vital freshwater systems are poor. To tackle this with ever increasing pressures from anthropogenic and climatic changes, we must improve water quality monitoring and devise and implement more appropriate water q...
