Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

The geomorphology of a lowland river and its relevance to environmental management (Lys River, Belgium)

open access: yesJournal of Maps
Lowland rivers with minimal topographic demarcation present significant challenges for geomorphological mapping. This study developed a detailed 1:50,000 geomorphological map of the Lys Valley (Belgium) by generating a relative elevation topographic ...

Surviving the winds through pattern formation: Mathematical modelling of heather stripes in Scotland

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Heather (Calluna vulgaris) and bare soil sometimes form striking patterns in Scottish windy environments. Our simple mathematical model shows that interactions between vegetation, soil and wind—particularly local erosion reduction by plants and upwind shelter of plants by microtopography—are sufficient to generate these self‐organised patterns and ...

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

Semi‐arid river dynamics from the internal geometry of river deposits

open access: yesGeographical Research, EarlyView.
This article aims to understand fluvial dynamics based on the internal geometry of fluvial deposits, using radar morphostratigraphy in floodplains, especially those whose genesis is associated with anthropogenic controls, such as upstream of dams.

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War

open access: yesAnthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the

Rock glaciers on the run – understanding rock glacier landform evolution and recent changes from numerical flow modeling

open access: yes, 2016
. Rock glaciers are landforms that form as a result of creeping mountain permafrost which have received considerable attention concerning their dynamical and thermal changes.
