Conservation priorities for development: survey of UK public's views on brownfield sites and biodiversity (2024)
Journal Article
Macgregor, C., Deutz, P., Bunting, J., & Mayes, W. (2024). Conservation priorities for development: survey of UK public's views on brownfield sites and biodiversity. People, Place and Policy, 18(3), 135-163. https://doi.org/10.3351/ppp.2024.4947649325

Policies prioritising the repurposing of abandoned land ('brownfield sites'), in order to spare undeveloped sites, are widely perceived to limit damage to biodiversity. However, brownfield sites can be of significant ecological value, providing scarc...

Limited attention has been paid to considering how potentially conflicting interests of place-based authorities and firms might impact on the ability of a place to attract and retain benefits from circular economy activity. This chapter analyses the... Read More about Building collaborations for a regional circular economy: a comparison of North Humberside, England with Styria, Austria.

Long-term coastal dynamics: The evolution of a mixed sediment mega-nourishment consisting of colliery spoil (2024)
Journal Article
Pitman, S., Pitman, S. J., Burke, I., Burke, I. T., Jay, H., Cooper, N., Mayes, W. M., Jarvis, A., & Jarvis, A. P. (2024). Long-term coastal dynamics: The evolution of a mixed sediment mega-nourishment consisting of colliery spoil. Journal of environmental management, 371, Article 123106. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2024.123106

Mega-nourishments, where large volumes of sediment are deposited on coastlines, are increasingly employed to manage shoreline erosion, yet our understanding of their long-term behaviour is limited by the fact that most current schemes are less than 1...

Using geophysical subsurface data for the reconstruction of valley-scale spatio-temporal floodplain evolution: implications for upland river restoration (2024)
Journal Article
Schwendel, A. C., Milan, D. J., Pope, R. J., Williams, R., & Thompson, W. (2024). Using geophysical subsurface data for the reconstruction of valley-scale spatio-temporal floodplain evolution: implications for upland river restoration. Geomorphology, 466, Article 109459. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2024.109459

The use of analogues of previous river styles is highly significant for successful river restoration, yet some existing techniques available to assist practitioners are still not widely applied. We explore the use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), t...

Culture-led regeneration, understood as a range of policies using cultural activity as a catalyst for urban regeneration, has been widely implemented by many European cities. The interest of local businesses and politicians in these processes seems u...

Neoliberalism and the splintering of city-regionalism: the case of Denver’s regional transit agency in times of COVID-19 urban austerity (2024)
Journal Article
Chestnut, J., Goetz, A. R., & Jonas, A. E. (online). Neoliberalism and the splintering of city-regionalism: the case of Denver’s regional transit agency in times of COVID-19 urban austerity. Urban Geography, https://doi.org/10.1080/02723638.2024.2367389

Public transit service provision is fraught with contradictions and tensions, which today tend to converge around the city-regional scale of planning and governance. The promise of public transit is to promote economic development and improve regiona...

Carbon dioxide removal could result in the use of lower-grade iron ore in a decarbonized net-negative emission steel industry (2024)
Journal Article
Renforth, P., Campbell, J., Foteinis, S., Cosgun, E., Young, J., Strunge, T., Riley, A. L., Mayes, W. M., & van der Spek, M. W. (2024). Carbon dioxide removal could result in the use of lower-grade iron ore in a decarbonized net-negative emission steel industry. Journal of cleaner production, 468, Article 142987. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.142987

Reducing the emissions from steel production is essential in meeting climate targets while maintaining economic prosperity. Here we show that applying deep emissions mitigation to the steel industry together with the reaction of by-product slag with...

Making a mark on the farm: the marks and traces of farm animals and infectious diseases in northern England (2024)
Journal Article

Farmed animals are expected to move through farmed spaces in certain ways to maximise their productivity. These spaces are also designed to limit the movement of disease-causing organisms. However, both types of lifeforms do not always move in expect... Read More about Making a mark on the farm: the marks and traces of farm animals and infectious diseases in northern England.
