Framing Resilience For River Geomorphology: Reinventing The Wheel?, Dave J. Gilvear
Framing Resilience For River Geomorphology: Reinventing The Wheel?, Dave J. Gilvear
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Resilience is a well-used term in many disciplines, but inconsistently or little applied in river geomorphology and river science. Recent developments in ecosystem ecology conceptualize resilience as comprising system resistance to, and recovery from disturbance. The objectives of this paper are to consider how the concept of resilience in this bivariate form applies to river geomorphology and provide a framework for bridging the disciplines of ecology and geomorphology within the setting of river management, using principles of resilience. River geomorphology sets the physical template upon which lotic processes act, thus, understanding the resilience of this template is critical. The importance …

Beach Recovery From Extreme Storm Activity During The 2013–14 Winter Along The Atlantic Coast Of Europe, Guillaume Dodet, Bruno Castelle, Gerd Masselink, Timothy Scott, Mark Davidson, France Floc'h, Derek Jackson, Serge Suanez
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
The storm sequence of the 2013–14 winter left many beaches along the Atlantic coast of Europe in their most eroded state for decades. Understanding how beaches recover from such extreme events is essential for coastal managers, especially in light of potential regional increases in storminess due to climate change. Here we analyse a unique dataset of decadal beach morphological changes along the west coast of Europe to investigate the post-2013–14 winter recovery. We show that the recovery signature is site specific and multi-annual, with one studied beach fully recovered after 2 years, and the others only partially recovered after 4 …

What Do Ip25 And Related Biomarkers Really Reveal About Sea Ice Change?, Simon T. Belt
What Do Ip25 And Related Biomarkers Really Reveal About Sea Ice Change?, Simon T. Belt
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd Significant changes to Arctic and Antarctic sea ice in recent decades has prompted the development and application of novel approaches to the reconstruction of past sea ice conditions over much longer timeframes. One such approach is based on the variable distribution of certain source-specific highly branched isoprenoid (HBI) lipid biomarkers in well-dated marine sediment records. Thus, IP25 and IPSO25 have emerged as useful proxy measures of seasonal sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctic, respectively. An overview of the salient features of IP25, IPSO25 and related biomarkers is presented, together with aspects that are currently less …

The Urban Inn: Gathering Space, Hierarchy And Material Culture In The Eighteenth-Century British Town, Daniel Maudlin
The Urban Inn: Gathering Space, Hierarchy And Material Culture In The Eighteenth-Century British Town, Daniel Maudlin
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
ABSTRACT: This article locates the ‘principal inn’ within the physical and cultural space of the eighteenth-century British town. The principal inn was the all-purpose venue for the sociable activities of polite society: from dining, drinking and conversing with friends to business deals, meetings of club and societies, legal proceedings, military musters, civic and religious proceedings. Through their central location, carefully designed interior spaces and refined material culture of furniture, fixtures and fittings, principal inns were key sites in the elite control of urban space, the enforcement of social hierarchies and the reinforcement of social values.

What Controls Submarine Channel Development And The Morphology Of Deltas Entering Deep-Water Fjords?, Jenny A. Gales, Peter J. Talling, Matthieu J.B. Cartigny, Clarke J Hughes, Gwyn Lintern, Cooper Stacey, Michael A. Clare
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
River deltas and associated turbidity current systems produce some of the largest and most rapid sediment accumulations on our planet. These systems bury globally significant volumes of organic carbon and determine the runout distance of potentially hazardous sediment flows and the shape of their deposits. Here we seek to understand the main factors that determine the morphology of turbidity current systems linked to deltas in fjords, and why some locations have well developed submarine channels whilst others do not. Deltas and associated turbidity current systems are analysed initially in five fjord systems from British Columbia in Canada, and then more …

The Delivery Of Mixed Communities In The Regeneration Of Urban Waterfronts: An Investigation Of The Comparative Experience Of Plymouth And Bristol, Daniel Thorning, Christopher Balch, Stephen Essex
The Delivery Of Mixed Communities In The Regeneration Of Urban Waterfronts: An Investigation Of The Comparative Experience Of Plymouth And Bristol, Daniel Thorning, Christopher Balch, Stephen Essex
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
The raison d’être of spatial planning is to secure public benefits or goods through the regulation of private development. Under neoliberalism, where economic growth is privileged over community interests, the ability of planning to deliver public goods can be compromised. The aim of this research was to investigate the delivery of mixed communities in the regeneration of waterfront sites in two outwardly comparable, but in detail, rather different port cities, namely Plymouth and Bristol. The range of dwelling types, extent of affordable housing and associated practicalities of delivery were evaluated using planning application data, 2000–2017 and semi-structured interviews with key …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Mycotoxins are an important class of chemicals of emerging concern, recently detected in aquatic environments, potentially reflecting the influence of fungicide resistance and climatic factors on fungal diseases in agricultural crops. Zearalenone (ZON) is a mycotoxin formed by Fusarium spp. and is known for its biological activity in animal tissues; both in vitro and in vivo. ZON has been reported in US and Polish surface waters at 0.7 - 96 ng/L, with agricultural run-off and wastewater treatment plants being the likely sources of mycotoxins. As some mycotoxins can induce phytotoxicity, laboratory studies were conducted to evaluate the toxicity of ZON …

© 2018 China University of Geosciences (Beijing) and Peking University The northwest region of the Iberian Peninsula is home to a unique ecosystem of bogs, which are particularly sensitive to projected climate change. In this context, the rate of carbon (C) accumulation in Chao de Veiga Mol, an intact raised bog, was analysed. Changes in the accumulation rate over the past 10 millennia were determined in a peat core of 847 cm in depth, with a high mean rate of peat growth (11 yr cm−1, 0.09 cm yr−1). An age-depth model was generated from 22 14C dates and fallout radionuclides. …

Refugees, asylum seekers and migrants who fled conflict and other adversities in their homelands are facing challenging times here in the UK as they are trying to integrate and build a new life. Being uprooted from one’s home and community is not easy - especially when one is faced with new struggles in life around navigating the UK Migration System, searching for adequate housing, learning a new language and most importantly, defining one’s existence again in this world amongst other concerns.Creative Recovery focuses on the narrative that the media misses from those who show resilience and courage as they fled …
A Case Study Of 'Internationalisation At Home' Leading To A Proposal For Critical Global Pedagogies, Pollyanna Magne
A Case Study Of 'Internationalisation At Home' Leading To A Proposal For Critical Global Pedagogies, Pollyanna Magne
Plymouth Institute of Education Theses
This thesis examines current practice around ‘internationalisation at home’ (Jones, 2014). This is contextualised in single case study institution, in an isolated region of the UK, and takes place following the Brexit vote and the election of the Trump administration. The research utilised a multifaceted data collection approach including interviews, focus groups, written responses, and documentary analysis of publicly available documents. The data provides evidence that the majority of current internationalisation activity is economically motivated. Intercultural or global curriculum activity was evident but unstructured and limited. Central to this thesis is a discussion relating to the impact of insular thinking. …
Wild Entanglements: Exploring The Visions And Dilemmas Of ‘Renaturing’ Urban Britain, Cara Louisa Clancy
Wild Entanglements: Exploring The Visions And Dilemmas Of ‘Renaturing’ Urban Britain, Cara Louisa Clancy
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Theses
In a rapidly urbanising world, where lands are increasingly repurposed for human endeavours, where seas and rivers carry the weight of mounting plastic, where species extinction is a common theme and where the effects of global climate change are a daily reality, there has never been a more pressing need to rethink nature-society relations and environmental ethics. This thesis draws insights from two cases of urban renaturing in Britain (London and Plymouth) to explore critical issues in contemporary environmental practice, including what matters for humans and nonhumans in such endeavours. Renaturing is here understood as an intentional, reflective attempt to …
The Hydrothermal Rare Earth Element Mineralisation At The Peralkaline Carbonatite Fen Complex In Norway, Christian Marien
The Hydrothermal Rare Earth Element Mineralisation At The Peralkaline Carbonatite Fen Complex In Norway, Christian Marien
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Theses
The Fen Complex in Norway consists of a composite carbonatite-ijolite-pyroxenite diatreme intrusion. Locally, the hydrothermally altered, hematite-rich rock rødbergite exhibited high grades (up to 2.1 wt% REE) of rare earth elements (REE). In order to secure the supply of REE for future technology markets in Europe, it becomes increasingly important to establish potential domestic REE sources like the Fen Complex. This project aims to develop a model for the carbonatite-hosted hydrothermal REE deposit (‘Rødbergite’) in the Fen Complex, Norway. SEM and ICP-MS trace element analyses of 73 bulk samples taken along various geological key transects showed the transformation of carbonatite, …
