Integrating the Budyko framework with the emerging hot spot analysis in local land use planning for regulating surface evapotranspiration ratio (2022)
Journal Article

Land use planning regulates surface hydrological processes by adjusting land properties with varied evapotranspiration ratios. However, a dearth of empirical spatial information hampers the regulation of place-specific hydrological processes. Therefo...

Towards a socio-material approach to reducing the water demand of cleanliness (2023)
Thesis

In the UK, water supplies are under pressure from climate, population, and lifestyle change, and showering is the largest component of domestic water consumption. Students are high water-users, in part due to pressure to conform to high standards of... Read More about Towards a socio-material approach to reducing the water demand of cleanliness.

Potential challenges facing persons-in-charge of automated buses, and means of recruiting, testing, and training them: An evidence review
Report

Whilst promising many benefits, widespread private automated vehicles also hold potential to increase traffic flows, worsen congestion, worsen public health, and reduce public transport use (Ainsalu et al., 2018). At the same time, there is potential... Read More about Potential challenges facing persons-in-charge of automated buses, and means of recruiting, testing, and training them: An evidence review.
