Why we must reverse forty years of super-centralisation (2023)
Digital Artefact

Strengthening the power of place in modern societies is essential if we want to co-create fair and sustainable ways of living. In the UK context this means giving a really significant boost to the tax raising powers of elected local governments. Th... Read More about Why we must reverse forty years of super-centralisation.

Investigating the use of joint probability curves in coastal engineering practice (2020)
Journal Article

This paper investigates the inherent inaccuracy in the estimation of various extreme response variables (RVs) for different sea defence structures using joint exceedance curve approaches in common use around the UK. Utilising stochastically generated... Read More about Investigating the use of joint probability curves in coastal engineering practice.

No ultrasounds detected from fungi when dehydrated (2023)
Journal Article

Many organisms (including certain plant species) can be observed to emit sounds, potentially signifying threat alerts. Sensitivity to such sounds and vibrations may also play an important role in the lives of fungi. In this work, we explore the poten...

Laundry Justice Case Study (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Presenting methods and ways of working from the Laundry Justice project as a case study of decolonising design within a transition design framework at Pluriversal Borderline Roundtable.

Dancing with the trouble. Ritual design in the age of consequence (2023)
Exhibition / Performance

The metacrisis is a rite-of-passage, a unique opportunity to traverse boundaries and explore how to make new more just worlds. This is a participatory piece, a ritual to make time to be in our bodies, to dance with the troubles of the Anthropocene. I... Read More about Dancing with the trouble. Ritual design in the age of consequence.

Kitchen cultures: Multispecies co-creation with invisible cultures in the kitchen (2024)
Thesis

This thesis outlines the development of a practice framework for multispecies co-creation in the kitchen. This framework is presented as a tool for public engagement that can be used by co-designers and researchers to engage women from the Global Maj...

Digital storytelling: A relational pedagogic approach to rebuilding hybrid places for creativity, equity and community building in a crisis (2023)
Journal Article

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted human flourishing worldwide as in-person teaching and learning provision within universities and schools rapidly shifted online. This exposed challenges as staff and students worked from home. Digital competences in onl...

Evolution of joint probability methods in coastal engineering practice in the UK (2019)
Journal Article

This paper outlines the evolution of joint probability methods in the design and assessment of sea defence structures in the UK, together with the key drivers for these different methods. It highlights why and how the joint exceedance curve technique... Read More about Evolution of joint probability methods in coastal engineering practice in the UK.

Hourly temperature and precipitation time series characteristics in São Paulo with urban land use type of convection-permitting model (CPM) outputs (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The influences of regional atmospheric drivers on the joint distribution of temperature and precipitation from a Convection-Permitting Model (CPM) over São Paulo are explored. Time series of temperature and precipitation are extracted from urban land... Read More about Hourly temperature and precipitation time series characteristics in São Paulo with urban land use type of convection-permitting model (CPM) outputs.

Multivariate extreme value modelling of sea conditions around the coast of England (2017)
Journal Article

It is widely recognised that coastal flood events can arise from combinations of extreme waves and sea levels. For flood risk analysis and the design of coastal structures it is therefore necessary to assess the joint probability of the occurrence of...

The UK’s first climate change risk assessment and the implications for the coast (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In 2008 the Climate Change Act was passed into law in the UK. This provides a legally binding framework for reducing carbon emissions. Much of the focus of the Act is on reducing emissions and hence on mitigation measures, however, the Act also req...

UK climate change risk assessment: Evidence report (2012)
Report

The UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) Evidence Report was published by the Government on 25 January 2012. It was the first ever UK Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA1), which are published on a 5-yealry cycle, a requirement of the 2008 Clima...

Minimum sample size determination for generalized extreme value distribution (2010)
Journal Article

Sample size determination is an important issue in statistical analysis. Obviously, the larger the sample size is, the better the statistical results we have. However, in many areas such as coastal engineering and environmental sciences, it can be ve... Read More about Minimum sample size determination for generalized extreme value distribution.

In tandem with 30 Years Anniversary of the Polish Book Art Museum in Łódź, the FREEDOM Project is a response to the series of crises and ongoing global conflicts humanity is facing today. Students, educators and professional artists were invited to s... Read More about FREEDOM Project.

Constructing for the future: Can the duty of good faith improve payment in the UK construction industry? (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Adversarialism within the UK construction industry fosters poor payment practices. Thus, stakeholders down the supply chain consistently suffer cashflow issues which can cause insolvencies. This study consisted of a critical review of literature and... Read More about Constructing for the future: Can the duty of good faith improve payment in the UK construction industry?.

A meta-model of socio-hydrological phenomena for sustainable water management (2023)
Journal Article

Overemphasizing technological solutions in water management without considering the broader systems perspective can result in unintended consequences. For example, infrastructure interventions for drought adaptation may inadvertently increase flood r... Read More about A meta-model of socio-hydrological phenomena for sustainable water management.
