Examining spatial variations in the utility of SPI as a 1 to 3 month-ahead streamflow indicator (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Droughts are a common meteorological phenomenon and a significant natural hazard. Despite this we lack a common understanding of the definition of a drought event and a detailed understanding of drought onset and termination. In its simplest form how...

A space-time geostatistical approach to exploring the stationarity of North Atlantic oscillation driven wet/dry conditions in Great Britain (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The North Atlantic Oscillation Index (NAOI) characterises the variability of the North Atlantic jet stream, and as the primary teleconnection affecting British climate, has been well studied. However, the spatio-temporal influence of the NAO on the w...

Methods of Knowledge Exchange and Learning Focused on Local Authorities' Experiences of Flood Science Communication (2013)
Journal Article

© 2013 Taylor & Francis. Devastating floods in 2007 across western England resulted in legislative changes which have placed increased responsibility on local government for managing and mitigating local flood risk. For these changes to be effectiv... Read More about Methods of Knowledge Exchange and Learning Focused on Local Authorities' Experiences of Flood Science Communication.

Learning and Action Alliance framework to facilitate stakeholder collaboration and social learning in urban flood risk management (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 The Authors Flood and water management governance may be enhanced through partnership working, intra- and cross-organisational collaborations, and wide stakeholder participation. Nonetheless, barriers associated with ineffective communication,...

A systems approach to risk and resilience analysis in the woody-biomass sector: A case study of the failure of the South African wood pellet industry (2017)
Journal Article

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd Currently more than 600 million of the 800 million people in SSA are without electricity, and it is estimated that an additional 2500 GW of power is required by 2030. Although the woody-biomass market in the developed world is rel...

Achieving environmental justice (2018)
Other

Podcast Interview, broadcast by Climate Justice Research Centre at the University of Technology, Sydney. Discusses my work on achieving environmental justice and, particularly, the book of that name.

Implications of vegetation growth and rock weathering rinds associated with periglacial sorted circles and stone-/turf-banked lobes on Mafadi/Njesuthi summits, high Drakensberg, southern Africa (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Large sorted circles (>30 cm in diameter and consisting of pebble centres and cobble to boulder borders, commonly vertically aligned) and stone banked lobes are thought to have formed during colder Neoglacial periods during the Holocene, but their ag...

Performance of Sentinel-2 NDVI for assessing the relationship between vegetation and soil moisture under extreme drought conditions (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Initial indications are that the enhanced spatial and spectral resolution of Sentinel-2 would allow for better assess- ment of vegetation condition, and consequently improved application in conditions of moisture deficit/drought. Although NDVI and ot... Read More about Performance of Sentinel-2 NDVI for assessing the relationship between vegetation and soil moisture under extreme drought conditions.

What is green economy? (2018)
Digital Artefact

We have, perhaps, 12 years to restore planetary balance if we are to avert irreversible and abrupt environmental change with deleterious, or even disastrous,consequences for humans. In recent years, several paradigms have emerged which may offer a wa... Read More about What is green economy?.

The IAHS Science for Solutions decade, with Hydrology Engaging Local People IN a Global world (HELPING) (2024)
Journal Article

The new scientific decade (2023-2032) of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) aims at searching for sustainable solutions to undesired water conditions - may it be too little, too much or too polluted. Many of the current iss... Read More about The IAHS Science for Solutions decade, with Hydrology Engaging Local People IN a Global world (HELPING).
