Increasing urban flash flood risk attributable to both climate and development

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
A new event impact attribution methodology that combines convection‐permitting climate model data with flood inundation modelling was used for a five‐hour flash‐flooding event in the suburbs of Leeds in 2014. The results show increased urban flood extent due to both climate change (+16%) and increased urbanisation (+29%).

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

TeV gamma-ray emission from accreting binary pulsars [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
The high-mass X-ray binary SMC X-1 has been observed during the interval 1986-1989 at a threshold γ-ray energy of 0.4 TeV using the University of Durham Mark III air Cerenkov telescope at Narrabri.

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Sensitivity of the IceCube-Gen2 Surface Array for Cosmic-Ray Anisotropy Studies

open access: yes
The energy of the transition from Galactic to extra-galactic origin of cosmic rays is one of the major unresolved issues of cosmic-ray physics. However, strong constraints can be obtained from studying the anisotropy in the arrival directions of cosmic ...

Very high energy gamma ray observations of southern hemisphere blazars [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
This thesis is concerned with very high energy γ-ray observations of blazars observable from the southern hemisphere. The data presented were obtained using the recently deployed University of Durham Mark 6 high sensitivity Čerenkov telescope. Chapters 1

Semi-Contained Interactions of Atmospheric Neutrinos in the MACRO Detector [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Atmospheric neutrinos arise from the decay of particles (primarily pions, muons and kaons) produced in the collision of high energy cosmic ray particles with the atmosphere.

Embodied, Enacted, and Multimodal: Exploring Science Teachers’ Metaphors in Authentic Classroom Contexts

open access: yesScience Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Over the past decades, science education research has extensively examined the role of metaphors in teaching and learning science. However, much of the existing research has focused on verbal manifestations of metaphors, thereby overlooking aspects of metaphors that may occur in non‐verbal form. This study reconceptualises metaphors as dynamic

100 Years of Element Zero: Andreas von Antropoff's Neutronium and the Naming of the Neutron

open access: yesZeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
Congratulations to the 100th Anniversary of the publication of Andreas von Antropoff's element 0, “–“! This contribution provides a historical account of the concept of element zero and the naming of the neutron. The concept of element zero is 100 years old, having a first documented appearance in a 1926 publication by Andreas von Antropoff, while the ...
