A framework for measuring physical garment durability
Measuring the physical durability of garments is difficult and current assessment methods lack objectivity and reliability or don't reflect the complex nature of durability for different garment categories. This study presents a novel and reproducible methodology for testing and ranking the absolute durability of commercially available t-shirts and denim jeans. Multiple durability factors were used to modulate the ranking as opposed to previous s…
Nature-Positive Design and Development
The benefits of ecosystem services to cities are well documented; for example, water-sensitive urban design to mitigate stormwater flows and purify run-off, the cooling benefits provided by tree shade, and psychological benefits of urban greening. Cities tend to displace nature, and in urban environments where nature exists it tends to be as highly altered ecosystems. This paper sets out how it is possible to regenerate nature in cities. We outli…

Why rehabilitate urban river systems
This paper addresses the philosophical question: ‘why rehabilitate urban river systems?’ within an Australian context. Rehabilitation of river systems has become an important objective of many local, state and national governments around the world, who allocate substantial investment into various river projects. An understanding of the various factors influencing stream condition and potential rehabilitation options is essential in order to deter…
When is a River not a River? Consideration of the legal definition of a river for geomorphologists practising in New South Wales, Australia
The Australian landscape is characterised by floods and droughts, so that the form, flow patterns and structure of our rivers reflect the full range of discharge patterns from perennial to intermittent, through to ephemeral. However, legislative descriptions of ‘river’ are derived from a Eurocentric perspective. In New South Wales, the definition of a river is provided in the Rivers and Foreshores Improvement Act (1948) and the partially implemen…
River sedimentation and fluvial response to Holocene environmental change in the Yorkshire Ouse Basin, northern England
Holocene alluvial sediment sequences and floodplain geomorphological histories from three valley-floor sequences in the Yorkshire Ouse Basin have been determined using a variety of field evidence and laboratory methods: geomorphological mapping, sediment coring and trenching, physical and chemical analysis of sedimentary units, and 14 C dating. The application of multiple methods has revealed contrasting phases of river erosion, alluviation and d…
