Sustainability, the voluntary sector and local governance in East Yorkshire (2009)
Thesis
Kythreotis, A. P. Sustainability, the voluntary sector and local governance in East Yorkshire. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4209219

This dissertation examines the role played by Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) groups in contributing to the governance of sustainable development. The research involves an intensive case study of VCS groups in Hull and East Riding, East Yorkshir... Read More about Sustainability, the voluntary sector and local governance in East Yorkshire.

Volcanism, mass extinction, and carbon isotope fluctuations in the Middle Permian of China (2009)
Journal Article
Wignall, P. B., Sun, Y., Bond, D. P. G., Izon, G., Newton, R. J., Védrine, S., Widdowson, M., Ali, J. R., Lai, X., Jiang, H., Cope, H., & Bottrell, S. H. (2009). Volcanism, mass extinction, and carbon isotope fluctuations in the Middle Permian of China. Science, 324(5931), 1179-1182. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.1171956

The 260-million-year-old Emeishan volcanic province of southwest China overlies and is interbedded with Middle Permian carbonates that contain a record of the Guadalupian mass extinction. Sections in the region thus provide an opportunity to directly... Read More about Volcanism, mass extinction, and carbon isotope fluctuations in the Middle Permian of China.

A humid corridor across the Sahara for the migration of early modern humans out of Africa 120,000 years ago (2008)
Journal Article
Osborne, A. H., Vance, D., Rohling, E. J., Barton, N., Rogerson, M., & Fello, N. (2008). A humid corridor across the Sahara for the migration of early modern humans out of Africa 120,000 years ago. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 105(43), 16444-16447. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0804472105

It is widely accepted that modern humans originated in sub-Saharan Africa ≈150-200 thousand years ago (ka), but their route of dispersal across the currently hyperarid Sahara remains controversial. Given that the first modern humans north of the Saha... Read More about A humid corridor across the Sahara for the migration of early modern humans out of Africa 120,000 years ago.

New insights into biological influence on the geochemistry of freshwater carbonate deposits (2008)
Journal Article
Rogerson, M., Pedley, H. M., Wadhawan, J. D., & Middleton, R. (2008). New insights into biological influence on the geochemistry of freshwater carbonate deposits. Geochimica et cosmochimica acta, 72(20), 4976-4987. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2008.06.030

Ambient temperature freshwater carbonates ("tufas") have outstanding potential as palaeoclimate archives. However, it has proven difficult to constrain the behaviour of the geochemical parameters on which important proxy systems rely. Current thinkin...

A dynamic explanation for the origin of the western Mediterranean organic-rich layers (2008)
Journal Article
Rogerson, M., Cacho, I., Jimenez-Espejo, F., Reguera, M. I., Sierro, F. J., Martinez-Ruiz, F., Frigola, J., & Canals, M. (2008). A dynamic explanation for the origin of the western Mediterranean organic-rich layers. Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 9(7), n/a-n/a. https://doi.org/10.1029/2007gc001936

The eastern Mediterranean sapropels are among the most intensively investigated phenomena in the paleoceanographic record, but relatively little has been written regarding the origin of the equivalent of the sapropels in the western Mediterranean, th...

Evaluation of the Titan2D two-phase flow model using an actual event: case study of the 2005 Vazcún Valley Lahar (2008)
Journal Article
Williams, R., Stinton, A. J., & Sheridan, M. F. (2008). Evaluation of the Titan2D two-phase flow model using an actual event: case study of the 2005 Vazcún Valley Lahar. Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research, 177(4), 760-766. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jvolgeores.2008.01.045

Titan2D is a depth-averaged, thin-layer computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, suitable for simulating a variety of geophysical mass flows. Titan2D output data include flow thickness and flow momentum at each time step for all cells traversed by th...

Sustainable livelihoods of forest fringe communities: forests, trees and household livelihood strategies in southern Ghana (2003)
Thesis
Acheampong, E. Sustainable livelihoods of forest fringe communities: forests, trees and household livelihood strategies in southern Ghana. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4212199

Forests play fundamental roles in supporting rural livelihoods in Ghana. They form an integral part of the rural economy, providing subsistence goods and services as well as items of trade. Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) contribute in many ways t...
