Chemical pollution of aquatic environments has been increasing in recent times, causing great damage to the ecosystems and to the fishery sector. Pollutants can negatively alter an animals’ life, and in this investigation, we verify if a neutral hous...

Small unmanned aerial model accuracy for photogrammetrical fluvial bathymetric survey (2019)
Journal Article
Entwistle, N., & Heritage, G. (2019). Small unmanned aerial model accuracy for photogrammetrical fluvial bathymetric survey. Journal of Applied Remote Sensing, 13(1), 014523. https://doi.org/10.1117/1.JRS.13.014523

Fluvial systems offer a challenging and varied environment for topographic survey, displaying a rapidly varying morphology, vegetation assemblage and degree of submergence. Traditionally theodolite or GPS based systems have been used to capture cross... Read More about Small unmanned aerial model accuracy for photogrammetrical fluvial bathymetric survey.

Stakeholder dynamics, perceptions and representation in a regional coastal partnership (2019)

Age and growth in a European flagship amphibian : equal performance at agricultural ponds and favourably managed aquatic sites (2019)
Journal Article
aquatic sites. Aquatic Ecology, 53(1), 37-48. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10452-018-09671-3

In human-modified landscapes, little is known about the influence of aquatic habitat types on the demographic structure of residing amphibian populations. In the present paper, we focus on a European flagship urodele species (the great crested newt T...

Sites of learning : exploring political ecologies and visceral pedagogies of surplus food redistribution in the UK (2019)
Journal Article
Spring, C., Adams, M., & Hardman, M. (2019). Sites of learning : exploring political ecologies and visceral pedagogies of surplus food redistribution in the UK. Policy Futures in Education, 17(7), 844-861. https://doi.org/10.1177/1478210318819249

Drawing on ethnographic research with organisations redistributing wasted food, this paper explores potentials for political and ethical learning by comparing different approaches to food handling and teaching. Food acts as instigator and tool for le... Read More about Sites of learning : exploring political ecologies and visceral pedagogies of surplus food redistribution in the UK.

A critical exploration of permaculture’s global role in sustainable development (2019)
Thesis
Smithies, O. A critical exploration of permaculture’s global role in sustainable development. (Dissertation). University of Salford

Despite emerging literature on Permaculture as a sustainable solution-based approach to the environmental, economic and social consequences of non-sustainable global growth, many accounts infer it is a political practice working against many corporat...
