Science-narrative explorations of ‘drought thresholds’ in the maritime Eden catchment, Scotland: Implications for local drought risk management (2021)
Journal Article

Drought in the United Kingdom is a “hidden” pervasive risk, defined and perceived in different ways by diverse stakeholders and sectors. Scientists and water managers distinguish meteorological, agricultural, hydrological, and socio-economic drought....

Spatio-temporal variability in North Atlantic oscillation monthly rainfall signatures in Great Britain (2021)
Journal Article

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is the primary atmospheric-oceanic circulation/teleconnection influencing regional climate in Great Britain. As our ability to predict the NAO several months in advance increases, it is important that we improve o... Read More about Spatio-temporal variability in North Atlantic oscillation monthly rainfall signatures in Great Britain.

Monthly rainfall signatures of the North Atlantic oscillation and East Atlantic pattern in Great Britain (2021)
Journal Article

Atmospheric-oceanic circulations (teleconnections) have an important influence on regional climate. In Great Britain, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has long been understood as the leading mode of climate variability, and its phase and magnitud...

Promoting water efficiency and hydrocitizenship in young people’s learning about drought risk in a temperate maritime country (2021)
Journal Article

Engaging young citizens with drought risk and positive water behaviours is essential in domestic water demand management within the wider climate crisis. This paper evaluates a new research-informed, picture book—‘DRY: The Diary of a Water Superhero’... Read More about Promoting water efficiency and hydrocitizenship in young people’s learning about drought risk in a temperate maritime country.

Beyond inclusion?: Perceptions of the extent to which Extinction Rebellion speaks to, and for, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) and working-class communities (2021)
Journal Article

There is a resurgent interest in, and debate about, inclusive environmentalism. Within this context, it has been alleged that Extinction Rebellion (XR) exclude Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) and working-class people. To understand more about... Read More about Beyond inclusion?: Perceptions of the extent to which Extinction Rebellion speaks to, and for, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) and working-class communities.

Multicriteria evaluation of the quality of service of informal public transport: An empirical evidence from Ibadan, Nigeria (2021)
Journal Article

Developing countries experience a decline in bus public transport investments. Yet informal public transport has continued to grow rapidly. Previous studies have evaluated the Quality of Service (QoS) provided by such informal transport but a multi-c...

Impact of reduced rainfall on above ground dry matter production of semi-natural grassland in South Gloucestershire, UK: A rainfall manipulation study (2021)
Journal Article

In the United Kingdom, agricultural grasslands cover 40% of the land area, make up 89% of the total agricultural area and are an important land use for ecosystem services and food security. Climate change predictions suggest that the United Kingdom w...

The efficiency of elemental geochemistry and weathering indices as tracers in aeolian sediment provenance fingerprinting (2021)
Journal Article

Confirmation of cost-effective and reliable tracers for aeolian sediment (sand dune) source fingerprinting warrants further research. Accordingly, the main objective of the work reported in this paper was to investigate the efficiency of weathering i... Read More about The efficiency of elemental geochemistry and weathering indices as tracers in aeolian sediment provenance fingerprinting.

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...

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-...

Tropical drought patterns and their linkages to large-scale climate variability over Peninsular Malaysia (2021)
Journal Article

Ocean–atmosphere modes of climate variability in the Pacific and Indian oceans, as well as monsoons, regulate the regional wet and dry episodes in tropical regions. However, how those modes of climate variability, and their interactions, lead to spat... Read More about Tropical drought patterns and their linkages to large-scale climate variability over Peninsular Malaysia.

Spatially-heterogeneous impacts of surface characteristics on urban thermal environment, a case of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (2021)
Journal Article

One-size-fits-all approach is common in climate-sensitive urban design due to neglecting spatial heterogeneities in urban form and urban climate. This study explores a spatially-varied climate-sensitive urban design based on the Guangdong-Hong Kong-M...

Spatio-temporal propagation of North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) rainfall deviations to streamflow in British catchments (2022)
Journal Article

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) teleconnection is often cited as the leading mode of climate variability in Great Britain. The NAO has been found to produce significant rainfall deviations that vary in space and time. This study sought to analys...
