Embracing the politics of transformation: Policy action as “battle‐settlement events”

open access: yesReview of Policy Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Societal transformations for addressing climate change are intensely contested and at risk of resistance and backlash to ambitious policy action. But they are frequently modeled through heuristics such as S‐curves which abstract from such conflicts, assuming increasing returns to scale as a driver of transformations.

On a branching route: The spectrum of path dependence in policy research

open access: yesReview of Policy Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article describes the evolution of discussions around the concept of path dependence, which has established itself as an explanatory framework in various academic disciplines, including policy research. It outlines the diversity of conceptual ideas, presents efforts at specification that have expanded the range of possible interpretations

Quantitative sedimentological analysis of the aeolian–fluvial Triassic Sherwood Sandstone Group, Cheshire Basin, UK

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sedimentological analysis of the outcropping Sherwood Sandstone Group, northern Cheshire Basin, UK, documents the preserved stratigraphic expression of water table‐controlled aeolian‐dominated erg‐margin successions (Wilmslow Sandstone Formation and lower Helsby Sandstone Formation), overlain by dryland fluvial deposits (middle Helsby ...

Geological reassessment of syn‐rift extensional sequences in the Shine Usny Tolgod and Dzun Shakhai fossil localities, Eastern Gobi Basin, Mongolia

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sedimentary infill patterns in the Eastern Gobi Basin of southern Mongolia record a complex, polyphased history. Asynchronous timing and intensities of extensional tectonism during the Early Cretaceous fragmented the Eastern Gobi Basin into a series of sub‐basins within an extensional rift (horst‐graben) setting, which likely infilled ...
