Urban land-use dynamics in the Niger Delta : the case of Greater Port Harcourt watershed (2018)
Journal Article
Dan-Jumbo, N., Metzger, M., & Clark, A. (2018). Urban land-use dynamics in the Niger Delta : the case of Greater Port Harcourt watershed. Urban Science, 2(4), 108. https://doi.org/10.3390/urbansci2040108

Cities in developing countries are urbanising at a rapid rate, resulting in substantial pressures on environmental systems. Among the main factors that lead to flooding, controlling land-use change offers the greatest scope for the management of risk...

The role of smell in urban design (2011)
Thesis
Henshaw, V. The role of smell in urban design. (Thesis). University of Salford

The dominance of sight in built environmental design and management is well documented with smell overlooked by built environment professionals, considered of primarily negative influence upon experience and perception. However odour has special char... Read More about The role of smell in urban design.

The spatial distribution of total and available heavy metals at areas of historic mining activity in the Peak District and their influence on local vegetation communities
Thesis
Preston, P. (in press). The spatial distribution of total and available heavy metals at areas of historic mining activity in the Peak District and their influence on local vegetation communities. (Dissertation). University of Salford

The Peak District in the UK has seen metal ore extraction and other mining activities take place for hundreds of years. As a result, many areas contain elevated soil concentrations of several heavy metals, which can be toxic to many plant species. Ho...
