Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

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

International 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 ...

Influence of age and biological sex on sweating in children exercising in warm and hot environments with comparison to adults

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Local sweating response and sweating onset of boys, girls, adult females and adult males during treadmill walking at a fixed metabolic heat production per body surface area (300 W·m−2) in warm and hot environments. Bayesian hierarchical modelling showed no meaningful sex or age differences in local sweating responses or onset ...
