The First World War at Sea: Death, Commemoration and Cultural Remembrance

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the ever‐increasing body of work devoted to war memorials, national days of remembrance and the commemoration of the First World War in Britain, academic focus remains firmly on the commemoration of the First World War on land. Yet, while the number of people who died at sea paled in comparison to their counterparts on the battlefield ...

Characterization of river plume dynamics for a better water quality management

Frontiers in Marine Science
Excessive riverine nutrient inputs are a main driver of eutrophication in marine waters. Thus, identifying areas most affected by river plumes is a key challenge for effective water quality management.

‘Enthusiasts’ and ‘Fanatics’: The Decembrists as a Case Study in French Influence on Russian Culture, Emotions and Thought

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Participants in Russia's 1825 Decembrist uprising against the Tsarist regime were, quite literally, a case study in French cultural influence upon Russia. This is particularly true as it relates to Russia's emotional cultures. Although this has not, traditionally, been the primary focus of historical analysis of this event (in Soviet or ...

Vog: Using Volcanic Eruptions to Estimate the Health Costs of Particulates

The Economic Journal, EarlyView., 2018
The negative consequences of long‐term exposure to particulate pollution are well established but a number of studies find no effect of short‐term exposure on health outcomes. The high correlation of industrial pollutants complicates the estimation of the impact of individual pollutants on health.

Fronts converging microplastics in the Asia-Pacific river plumes

APN Science Bulletin
Convergent surface fronts are a common feature in river plumes, where they gather suspended materials and biota, playing an important role in the estuarine ecological processes.

The evolution of a river plume front

River plumes form when freshwater from rivers enters the denser, saltier ocean, generating buoyant water masses that shape coastal circulation, stratification, and mixing. These plumes transport land-derived materials — such as sediments, nutrients, and pollutants — while creating sharp density gradients that drive complex dynamical processes.

AGRICULTURE IN A SOCIALIST CITY: Towards an Alter‐Urban Political Ecology

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Urban political ecology has developed as a critique of capitalist urbanization. This article develops the concept of alter‐urban political ecology to define urban environments emerging not from capitalist urbanization but from efforts to transform it. Drawing on archival research and ethnographic fieldwork in five urban farms in socialist Cuba,

Note on volume and distribution of fresh water in the Amazon River plume under low discharge conditions

Environmental Research Communications
In this research communication, we report the results of a field survey conducted in a part of the plume of the Amazon River between 0° and 5°N and offshore of the 28 m isobaths in November of 2022, during the low river discharge season. By comparing the
