The Urban Political Ecology of Post-industrial Scottish Towns: Examining Greengairs and Ravenscraig [PDF]
, 2013 Urban ecological politics is shaped by both moments of concerted action and more silent perceptions and responses. Instead of only being evident in situations of organised protest, the politics of urban ecology is also manifested, in material and ...

Gradients in urban material composition: A new concept to map cities with spaceborne imaging spectroscopy data [PDF]
, 2019 To understand processes in urban environments, such as urban energy fluxes or surface temperature patterns, it is important to map urban surface materials. Airborne imaging spectroscopy data have been successfully used to identify urban surface materials

A framework for soil microbial ecology in urban ecosystems
Ecosphere, 2022 Nearly all ecosystems host diverse microbiomes that support vital ecosystem processes. At the same time, these ecosystems and their microbiomes are increasingly altered by human activities, particularly in highly managed urban environments.
