2020-Vision: understanding climate (in)action through the emotional lens of loss (2021)
Journal Article
Jones, L., Halstead, F., Parsons, K. J., Le, H., Bui, L. T. H., Hackney, C. R., & Parsons, D. R. (2021). 2020-Vision: understanding climate (in)action through the emotional lens of loss. Journal of the British Academy, 9(s5), 29-68. https://doi.org/10.5871/jba/009s5.029

We are the midst of a climate emergency requiring urgent climate action that is as yet unforthcoming both on the scale and at the speed needed. This article considers this current state of inaction and how we might understand the processes of attitud...

I'll be dead by the time it happens: Children's Perceptions of Climate Change in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Halstead, F., Parsons, D., Jones, L., & Hackney, C. (2020, May). I'll be dead by the time it happens: Children's Perceptions of Climate Change in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Paper presented at EGU General Assembly 2020 (European Geosciences Union), Sharing Geoscience Online

The Mekong Delta in Southern Vietnam is one of the most at risk places globally to the effects of climate change and sea level rise, specifically in terms of flooding. It is predicted to change drastically over the next 100 years, with additional hum...

River bank instability from unsustainable sand mining in the lower Mekong River (2020)
Journal Article
Hackney, C. R., Darby, S., Parsons, D. R., Leyland, J., Best, J., Aalto, R., Nicholas, A., & Houseago, R. (2020). River bank instability from unsustainable sand mining in the lower Mekong River. Nature Sustainability, 3(3), 217-225. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-019-0455-3

Recent growth of the construction industry has fuelled demand for sand, with considerable volumes being extracted from the world’s large rivers. Sediment transport from upstream naturally replenishes sediment stored in river beds, but the absence of...

Sub‐arctic river bank dynamics and driving processes during the open‐channel flow period (2019)
Journal Article
Lotsari, E., Hackney, C., Salmela, J., Kasvi, E., Kemp, J., Alho, P., & Darby, S. (2020). Sub‐arctic river bank dynamics and driving processes during the open‐channel flow period. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 45(5), 1198-1216. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4796

There is growing concern that rapidly changing climate in high latitudes may generate significant geomorphological changes that could mobilise floodplain sediments and carbon; however detailed investigations into the bank erosion process regimes of h...

Science of the Total Environment, 673, 218-229. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2019.03.315

The Mekong delta is recognised as one of the world's most vulnerable mega-deltas, being subject to a range of environmental pressures including sea level rise, increasing population, and changes in flows and nutrients from its upland catchment. With... Read More about Water quality modelling of the Mekong River basin: climate change and socioeconomics drive flow and nutrient flux changes to the Mekong Delta.

Natural and anthropogenic influences on the Nhecolândia wetlands, SE Pantanal, Brazil (2018)
Journal Article
Castro de Oliveira, E., Pla-Pueyo, S., & Hackney, C. (2019). Natural and anthropogenic influences on the Nhecolândia wetlands, SE Pantanal, Brazil. Geological Society Special Publications, 488, 167-180. https://doi.org/10.1144/SP488.5

The Nhecolândia region covers the southern wetlands of the Pantanal basin in Brazil. Characterized by myriad shallow freshwater and alkaline–saline lakes, the distinct natural features of the Nhecolândia wetland make it highly sensitive to climate ch...

Low-angle dunes in the Changjiang (Yangtze) Estuary: Flow and sediment dynamics under tidal influence (2018)
Journal Article
Hackney, C. R., Hu, H., Wei, T., Yang, Z., Hackney, C., & Parsons, D. R. (2018). Low-angle dunes in the Changjiang (Yangtze) Estuary: Flow and sediment dynamics under tidal influence. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 205, 110-122. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2018.03.009

It has long been highlighted that important feedbacks exist between river bed morphology, sediment transport and the turbulent flow field and that these feedbacks change in response to forcing mechanisms. However, our current understanding of bedform... Read More about Low-angle dunes in the Changjiang (Yangtze) Estuary: Flow and sediment dynamics under tidal influence.
