Fleshing out Law: Embodied Encounters and the Material Geographies of Legal Space
Area, Volume 58, Issue 2, June 2026.Short Abstract This article explores how legality is produced, negotiated and contested through embodied encounters in urban courtrooms. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in German district courts, it develops the modalities of appearing, suspending and filtering to analyse how bodies are made to perform, endure and navigate legal processes.

Global Climatology of the Daytime Surface Cooling of Urban Parks Using Satellite Observations
Geophysical Research LettersGreen infrastructure‐based heat mitigation strategies can help alleviate the overheating burden on urban residents. While the cooling effect of parks has been explored in individual satellite‐based studies, a global, multi‐year investigation has been ...

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.Short Abstract Risks to soil health from increased flooding and drought due to climate change are a priority risk area for the UK government, but our analysis of two years of UK newspaper coverage on this issue reveals very little attention to it. Our multimodal framing analysis shows that news reports are largely devoid of addressing the root causes ...
