The Hidden Harvest: Harnessing Colorado's Geodiversity and Environmental Heterogeneity for Sustainable Agritourism

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Colorado's geologic, pedologic, topographic, hydrological, and climatic contrasts create strong but under‐synthesized opportunities for sustainable agritourism. This review investigates how geodiversity, and the broader environmental heterogeneity within which it operates, can be used to diversify farm income, strengthen place‐based visitor ...

A process-based impact of tropical cyclone and hurricane on surface water-groundwater interaction and contaminant mobilization of coastal aquifers

open access: yesProgress in Disaster Science
Coastal aquifers are hydraulically connected to the sea and a storm (cyclone/hurricane) can disrupt the surface water-groundwater (SW-GW) interaction process which is largely unexplored.

The winter 2023/2024 floods in the UK: a hydrological appraisal

open access: yesWeather, EarlyView.
From October 2023 to March 2024, the UK saw a succession of named storms and low‐pressure weather systems, leading to widespread exceptional river flows throughout. Peak flow records were broken in several catchments, but this event was most notable for its duration and spatial footprint, which resulted in major impacts.

Modelling of Coastal Aquifers of Trivandrum

open access: yesProcedia Engineering, 2012
AbstractTrivandrum is one of the fastest growing cities of South India. The degree of landscape modification being made along the coastal zone of this city will be reflected in the quantity and quality of the coastal water resources. To combat the present threats, like the excess groundwater extraction and reclamation activities in the coastal regions ...

THE VIOLENCE OF FULL COST RECOVERY: Financing Water Infrastructure, and the History and Future of Perpetual Crisis in Mombasa

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Foregrounding the role of finance, this article examines the historical production and future trajectory of the urban water crisis in Mombasa. Drawing on archival research and contemporary fieldwork, it traces how principles of full cost recovery—institutionalized during the colonial period and later reworked through postcolonial ...

MIRACLE URBANIZATION: Spatial Production and Political Legitimation in the Sochi 2014 and Beijing 2022 Olympics

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract From desert ski resorts to subtropical Winter Games, there is a global proliferation of ‘mission‐impossible’ mega‐projects. The prevailing frameworks of city branding and urban entrepreneurism fail to explain the political logics behind these seemingly irrational projects.

Assessment of seawater intrusion in coastal aquifers by modified CCME-WQI Indicators: Decadal dynamics in North Jiaozhou Bay, China

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Seawater intrusion (SWI) poses a growing threat to groundwater sustainability in the northern coastal region of Jiaozhou Bay (NCRJB), China. Quantifying SWI impacts is critical for developing targeted groundwater management strategies.

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in
