For millennia, forest ecosystems in California have been shaped by fire from both natural processes and Indigenous land management, but the notion of climatic variation as a primary controller of the pre-colonial landscape remains pervasive. Understa... Read More about Land management explains major trends in forest structure and composition over the last millennium in California's Klamath Mountains.

Following the icy thing: When natural ice was a commodity (2022)
Journal Article
Atkinson, D. (2022). Following the icy thing: When natural ice was a commodity. International Journal of Maritime History, 34(1), 113-122. https://doi.org/10.1177/08438714221083345

This article explores how a focus on commodities, and associated ‘follow-the-thing’ methodologies, might help nuance and deepen traditional historical narratives of the natural-ice trade between Norway and Britain in the 1850–1920 period. The article... Read More about Following the icy thing: When natural ice was a commodity.

Do Local Habitat Conditions Affect Estimates of Relative Pollen Productivity and Source Area in Heathlands? (2022)
Journal Article
Bunting, M. J., & Farrell, M. (in press). Do Local Habitat Conditions Affect Estimates of Relative Pollen Productivity and Source Area in Heathlands?. Frontiers in ecology and evolution, 10, Article 787345. https://doi.org/10.3389/fevo.2022.787345

Relative Pollen Productivity is an essential parameter for quantitative reconstruction of past land cover from pollen records, but published studies have produced a range of different values for the same taxa. Heathland habitats have limited plant di... Read More about Do Local Habitat Conditions Affect Estimates of Relative Pollen Productivity and Source Area in Heathlands?.

Exploring assessment practices of companies actively engaged with circular economy (2022)
Journal Article

Tidal Turbine Benchmarking Exercise: Environmental Characterisation and Geometry Specification (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tucker Harvey, S. W., Chen, X., Rowe, D., Bhavsar, K., Allsop, T., Gilbert, J., Stallard, T., Vogel, C. R., & Willden, R. H. J. (2021, September). Tidal Turbine Benchmarking Exercise: Environmental Characterisation and Geometry Specification. Presented at European Wave and Tidal Energy Conference (EWTEC) 2021, Plymouth, UK

Uncertainty in tidal turbine loading contributes significantly to conservatism in turbine design. This uncertainty originates not only from a lack of knowledge of the flow field at a particular site, but also from lack of understanding of the fundame...

Late Quaternary palaeoenvironmental change in the northeastern Mediterranean: a diatom-based reconstruction from lacustrine sediments (2022)
Thesis
Seymour-Jones, R. F. Late Quaternary palaeoenvironmental change in the northeastern Mediterranean: a diatom-based reconstruction from lacustrine sediments. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4749956

Much of our understanding of Quaternary palaeoenvironmental change has been generated from long, continuous marine sediment and ice core sequences. These records span multiple glacial–interglacial cycles, providing an essential long-term perspective...
