Materials selection for cleaner production: An environmental evaluation approach (2012)
Journal Article
Zhao, R., Neighbour, G., Deutz, P., & McGuire, M. (2012). Materials selection for cleaner production: An environmental evaluation approach. Materials and Design, 37, 429-434. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2012.01.014

This paper demonstrates an integrated approach to the selection of materials for cleaner production, using binary dominance matrix and grey relational analysis to aid decision-making by engineers. The starting point of this study is to determine the... Read More about Materials selection for cleaner production: An environmental evaluation approach.

Multi-indicator conductivity transfer functions for Quaternary palaeoclimate reconstruction (2012)
Journal Article
Reed, J. M., Griffiths, H. I., & Mesquita-Joanes, F. (2012). Multi-indicator conductivity transfer functions for Quaternary palaeoclimate reconstruction. Journal of paleolimnology, 47(2), 251-275. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-011-9574-1

Diatoms (Bacillariophyceae; single-celled algae) and ostracods (Ostracoda; shelled microcrustacea) are known for their sensitivity to salinity. In palaeolimnology, the potential has yet to be tested for quantifying past salinity, lake level, and by i...

Scaling sustainable development? How voluntary groups negotiate spaces of sustainability governance in the United Kingdom (2012)
Journal Article
Jonas, A. E. G., & Kythreotis, A. P. (2012). Scaling sustainable development? How voluntary groups negotiate spaces of sustainability governance in the United Kingdom. Environment and planning. D, Society & space, 30(3), 381-399. https://doi.org/10.1068/d11810

This paper seeks to address the way the politics of sustainability governance is spatially organised and contested by voluntary and community sector (VCS) groups in the United Kingdom. Using the research lens of the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP),... Read More about Scaling sustainable development? How voluntary groups negotiate spaces of sustainability governance in the United Kingdom.

Framing GM crops as a food security solution (2011)
Journal Article
Dibden, J., Gibbs, D., & Cocklin, C. (2013). Framing GM crops as a food security solution. Journal of rural studies, 29, 59-70. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jrurstud.2011.11.001

The spectre of a food security crisis has raised important questions about future directions for agriculture and given fresh impetus to a long-standing debate about the potential contribution of agricultural biotechnology to food security. This paper... Read More about Framing GM crops as a food security solution.

The new urban politics as a politics of carbon control (2011)
Journal Article
Jonas, A. E., Gibbs, D., & While, A. (2011). The new urban politics as a politics of carbon control. Urban studies, 48(12), 2537-2554. https://doi.org/10.1177/0042098011411951

The new urban politics (NUP) literature has helped to draw attention to a new generation of entrepreneurial urban regimes involved in the competition to attract investment to cities. Interurban competition often had negative environmental consequence... Read More about The new urban politics as a politics of carbon control.

Treatment of zinc-rich acid mine water in low residence time bioreactors incorporating waste shells and methanol dosing. (2011)
Journal Article
Mayes, W., Davis, J., Silva, V., & Jarvis, A. P. (2011). Treatment of zinc-rich acid mine water in low residence time bioreactors incorporating waste shells and methanol dosing. Journal of hazardous materials, 193, 279-287. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2011.07.073

Bioreactors utilising bacterially mediated sulphate reduction (BSR) have been widely tested for treating metal-rich waters, but sustained treatment of mobile metals (e.g. Zn) can be difficult to achieve in short residence time systems. Data are prese... Read More about Treatment of zinc-rich acid mine water in low residence time bioreactors incorporating waste shells and methanol dosing..

Political ecology and habitat conservation for endangered species planning in Southern California: region, places, and ecological governance (2011)
Journal Article
