Managed realignment as compensation for the loss of intertidal mudflat: A short term solution to a long term problem? (2010)
Journal Article
Mazik, K., Musk, W., Dawes, O., Solyanko, K., Brown, S., Mander, L., & Elliott, M. (2010). Managed realignment as compensation for the loss of intertidal mudflat: A short term solution to a long term problem?. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 90(1), 11-20. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2010.07.009

Intertidal mudflats are critical to the functional ecology of estuaries yet large areas are being lost as a result of land claim, erosion and coastal squeeze. This study examines whether managed realignment (at Paull Holme Strays, Humber estuary) can...

Coastal and offshore wind energy generation: is it environmentally benign? (2010)
Journal Article
Wilson, J. C., Elliott, M., Cutts, N. D., Mander, L., Mendão, V., Perez-Dominguez, R., & Phelps, A. (2010). Coastal and offshore wind energy generation: is it environmentally benign?. Energies, 3(7), 1383-1422. https://doi.org/10.3390/en3071383

Offshore and coastal wind power is one of the fastest growing industries in many areas, especially those with shallow coastal regions due to the preferable generation conditions available in the regions. As with any expanding industry, there are conc... Read More about Coastal and offshore wind energy generation: is it environmentally benign?.

The European Water Framework Directive at the age of 10: A critical review of the achievements with recommendations for the future (2010)
Journal Article
Hering, D., Borja, A., Carstensen, J., Carvalho, L., Elliott, M., Feld, C. K., Heiskanen, A. S., Johnson, R. K., Moe, J., Pont, D., Solheim, A. L., & de Bund, W. V. (2010). The European Water Framework Directive at the age of 10: A critical review of the achievements with recommendations for the future. Science of the Total Environment, 408(19), 4007-4019. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2010.05.031

The European Water Framework Directive (WFD), which was adopted in 2000, changed water management in all member states of the European Union fundamentally, putting aquatic ecology at the base of management decisions. Here we review the successes and... Read More about The European Water Framework Directive at the age of 10: A critical review of the achievements with recommendations for the future.

A holistic framework for environmental change: socio-environmental cohesion for sustainability (2010)
Thesis
Knowles, K. A holistic framework for environmental change: socio-environmental cohesion for sustainability. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4211540

Research purpose: Environmental issues have become a regular debate within social, business and political arenas. The need to combine social, environmental and economic systems to achieve a sustainable future (Triple Bottom Line), is gaining prominen...

The concept of an estuary: A definition that incorporates systems which can become closed to the ocean and hypersaline (2010)
Journal Article
Potter, I. C., Chuwen, B. M., Hoeksema, S. D., & Elliott, M. (2010). The concept of an estuary: A definition that incorporates systems which can become closed to the ocean and hypersaline. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 87(3), 497-500. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2010.01.021

The majority of the definitions of estuaries have been based on the characteristics of estuaries in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. As previously pointed out (Day, 1980), such definitions do not take into account such features as period...

Experience matters: Females use smell to select experienced males for paternal care (2009)
Journal Article
Fletcher, N., Storey, E. J., Johnson, M., Reish, D. J., & Hardege, J. D. (2009). Experience matters: Females use smell to select experienced males for paternal care. PLoS ONE, 4(11), e7672. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0007672

Mate choice and mating preferences often rely on the information content of signals exchanged between potential partners. In species where a female's reproduction is the terminal event in life it is to be expected that females choose high quality mal...

The role of macroalgal morphology and community structure on the accumulation of sediment and the subsequent effects on the dynamics of marine intertidal communities (2009)
Thesis
Churchill, H. R. The role of macroalgal morphology and community structure on the accumulation of sediment and the subsequent effects on the dynamics of marine intertidal communities. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4212874

This study examines the influence of intertidal macroalgae on sediment accumulation, and the effect of sediment cover on intertidal community structure.

Three shores on the North Yorkshire coast, England, were used to investigate differences in th... Read More about The role of macroalgal morphology and community structure on the accumulation of sediment and the subsequent effects on the dynamics of marine intertidal communities.

Egg-release behaviour in Antarctic krill (2009)
Journal Article
Tarling, G. A., Cuzin-Roudy, J., Wootton, K., & Johnson, M. (2009). Egg-release behaviour in Antarctic krill. Polar Biology, 32(8), 1187-1194. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00300-009-0617-2

The process of egg release is a complex and crucial step in the life cycle of euphausiids, especially with regards mortality and recruitment success. We examined this process in Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) in terms of the functioning of the f... Read More about Egg-release behaviour in Antarctic krill.
