Flood Groups in England: Governance arrangements and contribution to flood resilience (2017)
Book Chapter
Forrest, S., Trell, E., & Woltjer, J. (2017). Flood Groups in England: Governance arrangements and contribution to flood resilience. In E. Trell, B. Restemeyer, M. M. Bakema, & B. van Hoven (Eds.), Governing for Resilience in Vulnerable Places (92-115). Abingdon: Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315103761

By focusing on developing a working definition of flood groups in England, and by analysing their governance arrangements, this chapter aims to shed light on their potential influence on community resilience to flooding. It discusses resilience in re... Read More about Flood Groups in England: Governance arrangements and contribution to flood resilience.

Everyday practices in Greece in the shadow of property: Urban domination subverted (?) (2015)
Book Chapter
Sotiropoulou, I. (2015). Everyday practices in Greece in the shadow of property: Urban domination subverted (?). In A. Allen, A. Lampis, & M. Swilling (Eds.), Untamed Urbanisms (270-283). Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315746692

Introduction This chapter is a first attempt to explore the stance towards property in urban space adopted by grassroots everyday practices in Greek urban centres. The schemes do not use official currency, and neither do they follow the rule of oblig... Read More about Everyday practices in Greece in the shadow of property: Urban domination subverted (?).

Flow measurement around organisms and surrogates (2014)
Book Chapter
Thomas, R. E., McLelland, S. J., Eiff, O., & Parsons, D. R. (2014). Flow measurement around organisms and surrogates. In L. Frostick, R. Thomas, M. Johnson, S. Rice, & S. McLelland (Eds.), Users Guide to Ecohydraulic Modelling and Experimentation: Experience of the Ecohydraulic Research Team (PISCES) of the HYDRALAB Network (43-74). CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/b16630-11

This chapter reviews methods of measuring turbulent fluid flowing through and around flora and fauna. It begins with a discussion of the relevant aspects of the nature of turbulent flows and highlights difficulties associated with their measurement....

Plants, hydraulics and sediment dynamics (2014)
Book Chapter
Paul, M., Thomas, R. E., Dijkstra, J. T., Penning, W. E., & Vousdoukas, M. I. (2014). Plants, hydraulics and sediment dynamics. In L. Frostick, R. Thomas, M. Johnson, S. Rice, & S. McLelland (Eds.), Users Guide to Ecohydraulic Modelling and Experimentation: Experience of the Ecohydraulic Research Team (PISCES) of the HYDRALAB Network (91-116). CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/b16630-14

Most studies on coastal and fluvial hydro-and morpho-dynamics have focused on flow properties and their interactions with sediments. However, it has long been accepted that vegetation is also an important factor that can affect the flow in, and the m... Read More about Plants, hydraulics and sediment dynamics.

As part of the UK government{\textquoteright}s objective to deliver an increasing proportion of electricity from renewable sources, West Mainland, Orkney, is at the forefront of the development of wave-energy extraction devices. Exposure to wave ener... Read More about Baselines and Monitoring Methods for Detecting Impacts of Hydrodynamic Energy Extraction on Intertidal Communities of Rocky Shores.

Methane Dynamics in Peat: Importance of Shallow Peats and a Novel Reduced-Complexity Approach for Modeling Ebullition (2013)
Book Chapter
Ramirez, J., Coulthard, T. J., Baird, A. J., & Waddington, J. M. (2013). Methane Dynamics in Peat: Importance of Shallow Peats and a Novel Reduced-Complexity Approach for Modeling Ebullition. In Carbon Cycling in Northern Peatlands; Geophysical Monograph Series (173-185). American Geophysical Union. https://doi.org/10.1029/2008gm000811

Northern peatlands are one of the largest natural sources of atmospheric methane (CH4), and it is important to understand the mechanisms of CH4 loss from these peatlands so that future rates of CH4 emission can be predicted. CH4 is lost to the atmosp... Read More about Methane Dynamics in Peat: Importance of Shallow Peats and a Novel Reduced-Complexity Approach for Modeling Ebullition.
