  • A co-production approach to identify and visualise vulnerability to urban extreme heat in Nottingham, UK

    Open AccessEmily O’donnell, Simon N Gosling et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2026

    Adapting cities to extreme heat is a key global challenge that is exacerbated by the increasing frequency and severity of heatwaves. Critical to developing robust adaptation strategies is understanding where the greatest risk of negative impacts are located and why communities are vulnerable, i.e. unpicking the complex interrelationships between physiological factors, economic deprivation, and environmental constraints. This study presents a co-p…

  • Urban metabolism as a pathway to advance Nature-based Solutions for climate-resilient cities

    Open AccessYizhuo Wen, Emily O’donnell et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2026

    Rapid urbanisation has stimulated profound socio-economic transformation while intensifying systemic urban risks such as flooding and urban heat. These climate-induced stresses underscore the imperative of resilience-oriented urban frameworks. Existing research highlights Nature-based Solutions (NbS) as pivotal strategies for climate mitigation and adaptation, yet their widespread implementation remains constrained by persistent barriers. Urban m…

  • Using Learning and Action Alliances to build capacity for local flood risk management

    Open AccessShaun Maskrey, Tudorel Vilcan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2020References: 5

    Learning and Action Alliances (LAAs) are becoming an increasingly popular method for overcoming the challenges associated with participatory forms of governance, where decision making requires collaboration between stakeholders. In flood risk management, LAAs provide a mechanism through which institutional participants can come together, share knowledge, innovate, and devise solutions to ‘wicked’ problems. While the social learning generated at L…

  • Cardiometabolic risks associated with work-to-family conflict

    Emily O’donnell, Lisa F Berkman et al.ARTICLECommunity Work & Family2019Cited by: 1References: 73

    Objective: Work and family stressors may be associated with elevated cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: To assess the effects of work-to-family conflict (WTFC) on biomarkers of cardiometabolic risk, we examined 1524 extended care employees over 18 months and estimated multilevel linear models that accounted for the nested nature of the data. Results: WTFC was positively associated with BMI [β = 0.53, CI = (0.08, 0.98), p = .02 at baseline and …

  • Learning and Action Alliance framework to facilitate stakeholder collaboration and social learning in urban flood risk management

    Open AccessEmily O’donnell, E C O’Donnell et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Science & Policy2017Cited by: 9References: 7

    Flood and water management governance may be enhanced through partnership working, intra- and cross-organisational collaborations, and wide stakeholder participation. Nonetheless, barriers associated with ineffective communication, fragmented responsibilities and ‘siloed thinking’ restrict open dialogue and discussion. The Learning and Action Alliance (LAA) framework may help overcome these barriers by enabling effective engagement through social…
