Student Geographies And Homemaking: Personal Belonging(S) And Identities, Mark Holton, Mark Riley
Student Geographies And Homemaking: Personal Belonging(S) And Identities, Mark Holton, Mark Riley
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Studies of the ‘geographies of students’ have become increasingly prevalent across the social sciences and are particularly concerned with the predilection for young UK University undergraduates to be mobile in their institutional choice. A more recent focus within this work has been upon student identities, with attention given to how the spaces to which students move and in which they settle can have both positive and negative consequences for the evolution of the student identity, and how such identities are often framed within the context of social activities; learning environments; friendship networks; or other sociocultural factors. This paper contributes to …
Simulating Regimes Of Chemical Disturbance And Testing Impacts In The Ecosystem Using A Novel Programmable Dosing System, Mark Anthony Browne, Paul R. Brooks, Robert Clough, Andrew S. Fisher, Pinto M Mayer, Tasman P. Crowe
Simulating Regimes Of Chemical Disturbance And Testing Impacts In The Ecosystem Using A Novel Programmable Dosing System, Mark Anthony Browne, Paul R. Brooks, Robert Clough, Andrew S. Fisher, Pinto M Mayer, Tasman P. Crowe
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Pollution is a global issue at the frontier between ecology, environmental science, management, engineering and policy. Legislation requires experiments to determine how much contamination an ecosystem can absorb before there are structural or functional changes. Yet, existing methods cannot realistically simulate regimes of chemical disturbance and determine impacts to assemblages in ecosystems. This is because they lack ecologically relevant species and biotic interactions, are logistically difficult to set up and lack environmentally relevant regimes of chemical and abiotic disturbance that organisms experience in polluted areas. We solved these long-standing environmental, logistical, experimental and ecological problems by developing a programmable dosing …

Denitrification As A Source Of Nitric Oxide Emissions From Incubated Soil Cores From A Uk Grassland, N Loick, Er Dixon, D Abalos, A Vallejo, Gp Matthews, Kl Mcgeough, R Well, C Watson, Rj Laughlin, Lm Cardenas
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Agricultural soils are a major source of nitric oxide (NO) and nitrous oxide (N2O), which are produced and consumed by biotic and abiotic soil processes. The dominant sources of NO and N2O are microbial nitrification and denitrification. While N2O emissions have been attributed to both processes, depending on the environmental conditions such as substrate availability, pH and water filled pore space (WFPS), NO emissions are thought to predominantly derive from nitrification. Although attributing gaseous emissions to specific processes is still difficult, recent findings challenge the latter of those assumptions. Using the gas-flow-soil-core method, i.e soil cores incubated under a He/O2 …
Education For Sustainable Development: A Movement Towards Pedagogies Of Civic Compassion, P Warwick
Education For Sustainable Development: A Movement Towards Pedagogies Of Civic Compassion, P Warwick
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
This article explores the moral imperative for a renewed vision of schooling in the twenty-first century, from the standpoint of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). ESD advocates for teaching and learning spaces underpinned by civic compassion in the sense of 'an active concern for well-being'. This paradigm of education seeks to expand the horizons of our compassion for others, calling for an education system that takes into account the need for biosphere, spatial and temporal dimensions of care for the common good. This vision of education is firstly outlined and then practically explored through an example of ESD innovation in …

A 'Mental Models' Approach To The Communication Of Subsurface Hydrology And Hazards, Hazel Gibson, Iain S. Stewart, Sabine Pahl, Alison Stokes
A 'Mental Models' Approach To The Communication Of Subsurface Hydrology And Hazards, Hazel Gibson, Iain S. Stewart, Sabine Pahl, Alison Stokes
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Abstract. Communicating information about geological and hydrological hazards relies on appropriately worded communications targeted at the needs of the audience. But what are these needs, and how does the geoscientist discern them? This paper adopts a psychological "mental models" approach to assess the public perception of the geological subsurface, presenting the results of attitudinal studies and surveys in three communities in the south-west of England. The findings reveal important preconceptions and misconceptions regarding the impact of hydrological systems and hazards on the geological subsurface, notably in terms of the persistent conceptualisation of underground rivers and the inferred relations between flooding …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
This paper presents the results from two ring-tests addressing the feasibility, robustness and reproducibility of a reproduction toxicity test with the freshwater gastropod Lymnaea stagnalis (RENILYS strain). Sixteen laboratories (from inexperienced to expert laboratories in mollusc testing) from nine countries participated in these ring-tests. Survival and reproduction were evaluated in L. stagnalis exposed to cadmium, tributyltin, prochloraz and trenbolone according to an OECD draft OECD Test Guideline. In total, 49 datasets were analysed to assess the practicability of the proposed experimental protocol, and to estimate the between-laboratory reproducibility of toxicity endpoint values. The statistical analysis of count data (number of …
Geography And Post-Phenomenology, James Ash, Paul Simpson
Geography And Post-Phenomenology, James Ash, Paul Simpson
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
This paper examines geography’s engagements with phenomenology. Tracing phenomenology’s influence, from early humanist reflections on the lifeworld to non-representational theories of practice, the paper identifies the emergence of a distinct post-phenomenological way of thinking. However, there is currently no clear articulation of what differentiates post-phenomenology from phenomenology as a set of theories or ideas, nor is there a clear set of trajectories along which such difference can be pursued further. In response to this, the paper outlines three key elements that differentiate phenomenology from post-phenomenology and that require further exploration. First is a rethinking of intentionality as an emergent relation …
The Geographies Of Uk University Halls Of Residence: Examining Students' Embodiment Of Social Capital, Mark Holton
The Geographies Of Uk University Halls Of Residence: Examining Students' Embodiment Of Social Capital, Mark Holton
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Recent investigations into ‘student geographies’ have recognised the complex ways in which students from different backgrounds go about ‘fitting in’ among their peers within universitymanaged accommodation. Halls have been characterised in the literature as highly pressurised spaces in which multiple (and potentially conflicting) identities can perpetuate disadvantage through incongruous accessibility to student-centric social activities and behaviours. This paper joins these debates by critically examining universities’ ‘Student Accommodation’ web pages alongside qualitative interviews in order to question notions of halls being inclusive and encouraging a cultural mix. Using Bourdieu’s reading of social capital this paper suggests that, while these spaces may …
Spectral And Chromatographic Characterisation Of The Onoceroid, Ambrane: A Potential Novel Biological Marker, Paul A. Sutton, Steven J. Rowland
Spectral And Chromatographic Characterisation Of The Onoceroid, Ambrane: A Potential Novel Biological Marker, Paul A. Sutton, Steven J. Rowland
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
The gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) characteristics, including GC retention indices and mass spectra, of isomers of the tricyclic onoceroid C30 hydrocarbon, ambrane (1,1,4a,6-tetramethyl-5-{4-methyl-6-[2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexyl]hexyl}decahydronaphthalene) are reported. Ambrane is yet to be reported in sediments or petroleum: other biochemically-related onoceroids, such as onoceranes and serratanes, have been. Now that GC–MS data are available, a search for ambranes in geochemical samples may be both feasible and warranted.

Abandoned Metal Mines And Their Impact On Receiving Waters: A Case Study From Southwest England., Sj Beane, Sd Comber, J Rieuwerts, P Long
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Historic mine sites are a major source of contamination to terrestrial and river environments. To demonstrate the importance of determining the significance of point and diffuse metal contamination and the related bioavailability of the metals present from abandoned mines a case study has been carried out. The study provides a quantitative assessment of a historic mine site, Wheal Betsy, southwest England, and its contribution to non-compliance with Water Framework Directive (WFD) Environmental Quality Standards (EQS) for Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn. Surface water and sediment samples showed significant negative environmental impacts even taking account of the bioavailability of the metal …

Sea-Level Rise Impacts On Transport Infrastructure: The Notorious Case Of The Coastal Railway Line At Dawlish, England, David Dawson, Jon Shaw, R Gehrels
Sea-Level Rise Impacts On Transport Infrastructure: The Notorious Case Of The Coastal Railway Line At Dawlish, England, David Dawson, Jon Shaw, R Gehrels
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Future climate change is likely to increase the frequency of coastal storms and floods, with major consequences for coastal transport infrastructure. This paper assesses the extent to which projected sea-level rise is likely to impact upon the functioning of the Dawlish to Teignmouth stretch of the London to Penzance railway line, in England. Using a semi-empirical modelling approach, we identify a relationship between sea-level change and rail incidents over the last 150 years and then use model-based sea-level predictions to extrapolate this relationship into the future. We find that days with line restrictions (DLRs) look set to increase by up …

Derivation Of Water Quality Guidelines For Priority Pharmaceuticals, A Kumar, Ge Batley, B Nidumolu, Th Hutchinson
Derivation Of Water Quality Guidelines For Priority Pharmaceuticals, A Kumar, Ge Batley, B Nidumolu, Th Hutchinson
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Pharmaceuticals can enter freshwater and affect aquatic ecosystem health. Although toxicity tests have been carried out for the commonly used pharmaceuticals, evidence-based water quality guidelines have not been derived. High-reliability water quality guideline values have been derived for 4 pharmaceuticals-carbamazepine, diclofenac, fluoxetine, and propranolol-in freshwaters using a Burr type III distribution applied to species sensitivity distributions of chronic toxicity data. Data were quality-assured and had to meet acceptability criteria for "chronic" no-observed-effect concentrations or concentrations affecting 10% of species, endpoints of population relevance (namely, effect endpoints based on development, growth, reproduction, and survival). Biomarker response data (e.g., biochemical, histological, or …

An Evaluation Of The Toxicity And Bioaccumulation Of Bismuth In The Coastal Environment Using Three Species Of Macroalga, James Kearns, Andrew Turner
An Evaluation Of The Toxicity And Bioaccumulation Of Bismuth In The Coastal Environment Using Three Species Of Macroalga, James Kearns, Andrew Turner
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Bismuth is a heavy metal whose biogeochemical behaviour in the marine environment is poorly defined. In this study, we exposed three different species of macroalgae (the chlorophyte, Ulva lactuca, the phaeophyte, Fucus vesiculosus, and the rhodophyte, Chondrus crispus) to different concentrations of Bi (up to 50 g L-1) under controlled, laboratory conditions. After a period of 48-h, the phytotoxicity of Bi was measured in terms of chlorophyll fluorescence quenching, and extracellular and intracellular accumulation of Bi determined after EDTA extraction and acid digestion, respectively. For all algae, both the internalisation and total accumulation of Bi were proportional to the concentration …

Evaluation Of A Closed-System Cytotoxic Transfer Device In A Pharmaceutical Isolator., N. Vyas, A. Turner, J. M. Clark, G. J. Sewell
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
PURPOSE: The occupational risk associated with handling of cytotoxic anticancer drugs is well documented and, in many countries, pharmaceutical isolators are used to contain cytotoxic residues during preparation of cytotoxic infusions. Isolators are difficult to clean leading to concerns that cytotoxic contamination from the work area could be transferred to surfaces of products leaving the isolator. This study investigated the surface contamination arising from the preparation of five anticancer drug infusions (Epirubicin, Fluorouracil, Cisplatin, Oxaliplatin and Carboplatin) in a pharmaceutical isolator and compared use of a conventional syringe and needle technique with a closed-system drug transfer device (CSDTD). METHODS: Wipe …
Community Resilience, Land Degradation And Endogenous Lock-In Effects: Evidence From The Alento Region, Campania, Italy, Geoff Wilson, Giovanni Quaranta, Claire Kelly, Rosanna Salvia, N Harmer
Community Resilience, Land Degradation And Endogenous Lock-In Effects: Evidence From The Alento Region, Campania, Italy, Geoff Wilson, Giovanni Quaranta, Claire Kelly, Rosanna Salvia, N Harmer
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
This study analyses social, economic and political ‘lock-ins’ for understanding community resilience and land degradation. The study focuses on lock-ins from within communities, using four case study communities in Italy affected by land degradation. The analysis highlights the complex interrelationships between various lock-ins, and suggests that the communities are on pathways of declining resilience that may lead to increasing difficulties in addressing land degradation issues in future.
