Were rivers flowing across the Sahara during the last interglacial? Implications for human migration through Africa. (2013)
Journal Article
Coulthard, T. J., Ramirez, J. A., Barton, N., Rogerson, M., & Brücher, T. (2013). Were rivers flowing across the Sahara during the last interglacial? Implications for human migration through Africa. PLoS ONE, 8(9), 0-0. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0074834

Human migration north through Africa is contentious. This paper uses a novel palaeohydrological and hydraulic modelling approach to test the hypothesis that under wetter climates c.100,000 years ago major river systems ran north across the Sahara to...

Integrating the LISFLOOD-FP 2D hydrodynamic model with the CAESAR model: implications for modelling landscape evolution (2013)
Journal Article
Coulthard, T. J., Neal, J. C., Bates, P. D., Ramirez, J., de Almeida, G. A., & Hancock, G. R. (2013). Integrating the LISFLOOD-FP 2D hydrodynamic model with the CAESAR model: implications for modelling landscape evolution. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 38(15), 1897-1906. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3478

Landscape evolution models (LEMs) simulate the geomorphic development of river basins over long time periods and large space scales (100s-1000s of years, 100s of km2). Due to these scales they have been developed with simple steady flow models that e...

Modelling uncertainty in the sustainability of Intelligent Transport Systems for highways using probabilistic data fusion (2013)
Journal Article
Kolosz, B., Grant-Muller, S., & Djemame, K. (2013). Modelling uncertainty in the sustainability of Intelligent Transport Systems for highways using probabilistic data fusion. Environmental modelling & software : with environment data news, 49, 78-97. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsoft.2013.07.011

The implementation of ITS to increase the efficiency of saturated highways has become increasingly prevalent. It is a high level objective for many international governments and operators that highways should be managed in a way that is both sustaina...

Superelevation and overspill control secondary flow dynamics in submarine channels (2013)
Journal Article
Dorrell, R. M., Darby, S. E., Peakall, J., Sumner, E. J., Parsons, D. R., & Wynn, R. B. (2013). Superelevation and overspill control secondary flow dynamics in submarine channels. Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 118(8), 3895-3915. https://doi.org/10.1002/jgrc.20277

In subaerial and submarine meander bends, fluid flow travels downstream in a helical spiral, the structure of which is determined by centrifugal, hydrostatic, baroclinic, and Coriolis forces that together balance frictional stresses generated by the...

Fragments from a medieval archive: the life and death of Sir Robert Constable (2013)
Journal Article
McDonagh, B. (2013). Fragments from a medieval archive: the life and death of Sir Robert Constable. Journal of Historical Geography, 42(Oct 2013), 50-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhg.2013.06.002

This article asks what we can know of historical individuals in pre-Reformation England. While recognizing the challenges of writing medieval biography, it points to the opportunities offered by a range of under-utilized sources for engaging both wit...

Making and breaking property: Negotiating enclosure and common rights in sixteenth-century england (2013)
Journal Article
McDonagh, B. (2013). Making and breaking property: Negotiating enclosure and common rights in sixteenth-century england. History workshop journal : HWJ, 76(1), 32-56. https://doi.org/10.1093/hwj/dbs054

This paper explores the making – and breaking – of property in early sixteenth-century England, examining the range of strategies available to those engaged in negotiating and resisting enclosure, common rights and land-use change. It interrogates th... Read More about Making and breaking property: Negotiating enclosure and common rights in sixteenth-century england.

Parliamentary enclosure, vermin and the cultural life of English parishes, 1750-1850 (2013)
Journal Article

This article explores the impact of parliamentary enclosure on the cultural life of English villages after 1750. It focuses on parish-sponsored vermin control, arguing that the popular 'hunting' sanctioned by parish vestries under Tudor legislation,...

Analysis of a novel gravity driven organic Rankine cycle for small-scale cogeneration applications (2013)
Journal Article
Li, J., Pei, G., Li, Y., & Ji, J. (2013). Analysis of a novel gravity driven organic Rankine cycle for small-scale cogeneration applications. Applied energy, 108, 34-44. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2013.03.014

A naturally-controlled organic Rankine cycle (ORC) without negative work is proposed. Compared with conventional ORCs, the novel system uses gravity instead of a pump to pressurize the working fluid, and hence the problems associated with the pump ca...
