Transforming Housing Retrofit: The Potential Impact of Artificial Intelligence (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Panakaduwa, C., Coates, P., & Munir, M. (2024). Transforming Housing Retrofit: The Potential Impact of Artificial Intelligence.

80% of the housing stock by 2050 in the UK has already been built. Currently, the UK housing stock contributes 18% of the total UK emissions. Due to the legal requirement of the UK government to achieve net zero by 2050, the housing stock poses a con...

It reveals a stark contrast in language use: neurologists prefer clin... Read More about Bridging the Language Gap in FND Care: A Comparative Analysis of Neurologists and Psychologists.

Tracing climate and human-driven erosional activity in the Transylvania lowlands (Central-Eastern Europe) during the Holocene (2024)
Journal Article
M Hutchinson, S., Haliuc, A., & Feurdean, A. (2024). Tracing climate and human-driven erosional activity in the Transylvania lowlands (Central-Eastern Europe) during the Holocene. Holocene, https://doi.org/10.1177/09596836241254477

Erosion is a complex geomorphological process controlled by climate, soil and vegetation characteristics in addition to land-use. However, the interplay of these drivers is not fully understood. Here we present a 11.8 ka multi-proxy record of geochem...
