On the transport mechanisms, ecological interactions and fate of microplastics in aquatic environments (2022)
Thesis
Mendrik, F. On the transport mechanisms, ecological interactions and fate of microplastics in aquatic environments. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224632

Microplastics are now persistent throughout aquatic systems globally and can cause a range of ecological damage. The transport of microplastics is influenced by the polymer type, in addition to physical, biological, and chemical gradients plastic par...

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...

Species-specific impact of microplastics on coral physiology (2020)
Journal Article
Mendrik, F., Henry, T., Burdett, H., Hackney, C., Waller, C., Parsons, D., & Hennige, S. (2021). Species-specific impact of microplastics on coral physiology. Environmental pollution, 269, Article 116238. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2020.116238

There is evidence that microplastic (MP) pollution can negatively influence coral health; however, mechanisms are unknown and most studies have used MP exposure concentrations that are considerably higher than current environmental conditions. Furthe... Read More about Species-specific impact of microplastics on coral physiology.

Climate Change and Children: Positioning Children as Stakeholders within the Climate Change Debate in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Halstead, F., & Parsons, D. R. (2019, December). Climate Change and Children: Positioning Children as Stakeholders within the Climate Change Debate in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam. Poster presented at American Geophysical Union, Fall Meeting 2019, San Francisco

Home to almost 20 million people, the Mekong Delta in Vietnam is one of the most at risk regions globally in terms of exposure to climate change and sea-level rise, notably in terms of future flood risk. Societal resilience to climate change and floo... Read More about Climate Change and Children: Positioning Children as Stakeholders within the Climate Change Debate in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam..

I'll be dead by the time it happens: Children's Perceptions of Climate Change in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
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...
