Reconciling diverse lacustrine and terrestrial system response to penultimate deglacial warming in southern Europe (2015)
Journal Article
Wilson, G. P., Reed, J. M., Frogley, M. R., Hughes, P. D., & Tzedakis, P. C. (2015). Reconciling diverse lacustrine and terrestrial system response to penultimate deglacial warming in southern Europe. Geology, 43(9), 819-822. https://doi.org/10.1130/g36807.1

Unlike the most recent deglaciation, the regional expression of climate changes during the penultimate deglaciation remains understudied, even though it led into a period of excess warmth with estimates of global average temperature 1–2 °C, and sea l...

The African communications ‘revolution’ has generated optimism that mobile phones might help overcome infrastructural barriers to healthcare provision in resource-poor contexts. However, while formal m-health programmes remain limited in coverage and...

Journal Article
Dean, J. R., Jones, M. D., Leng, M. J., Noble, S. R., Metcalfe, S. E., Sloane, H. J., Sahy, D., Eastwood, W. J., & Roberts, C. N. (2015). Eastern Mediterranean hydroclimate over the late glacial and Holocene, reconstructed from the sediments of Nar lake, central Turkey, using stable isotopes and carbonate mineralogy. Quaternary science reviews, 124, 162-174. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.07.023

There is a lack of high-resolution records of hydroclimate variability in the Eastern Mediterranean from the late glacial and early Holocene. More knowledge of the speed of climate shifts and the degree to which they were synchronous with changes in...

Mobile phones and education in sub-Saharan Africa: from youth practice to public policy (2015)
Journal Article

Mobile phones and education in sub-Saharan Africa: from youth practice to public policy. Journal of international development, 28(1), 22-39. https://doi.org/10.1002/jid.3116

Young people’s use of mobile phones is expanding exponentially across Africa. Its transformative potential is exciting, but findings presented in this paper indicate how the downside of mobile phone use in African schools is becoming increasingly app...

Lateglacial and early Holocene climates of the Atlantic margins of Europe: Stable isotope, mollusc and pollen records from Orkney, Scotland (2015)
Journal Article
Whittington, G., Edwards, K. J., Zanchetta, G., Keen, D. H., Bunting, M. J., Fallick, A. E., & Bryant, C. L. (2015).

Quaternary science reviews, 122, 112-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.05.026

The margins of mainland Europe, and especially those areas coming under the influence of North Atlantic weather systems, are ideally placed to record changing palaeoclimates. Cores from an infilled lake basin at Crudale Meadow in Mainland, Orkney, re...

Country life: agricultural technologies and the emergence of new rural subjectivities (2015)
Journal Article
Bear, C., & Holloway, L. (2015). Country life: agricultural technologies and the emergence of new rural subjectivities. Geography compass, 9(6), 303-315. https://doi.org/10.1111/gec3.12217

Rural areas have long been spaces of technological experimentation, development and resistance. In the UK, this is especially true in the post-second world war era of productivist food regimes, characterised by moves to intensification. The technolog...

After the trawl : memory and afterlife in the wake of Hull's distant-water trawl fishery from 1976 (2015)
Thesis
Byrne, J. After the trawl : memory and afterlife in the wake of Hull's distant-water trawl fishery from 1976. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4218622

From the late nineteenth century the city of Hull became synonymous with trawling. For almost a century its distant-water fishery developed as a strongly place-centered industry, concentrated in the western port district of Hessle Road. Here, amid...
