Metals, mines and moorland
Intensive metal mining considerably altered many British upland landscapes between the 18th and 20th centuries, modifying both subterranean and surface environments and fundamentally changing the character of local settlements, infrastructure and society. However, our understanding of the landscape-scale patterns of development through time in mining districts is still limited. In this study, we take an interdisciplinary approach to understand th…

Quantifying erosion of ‘at risk’ archaeological sites using repeat terrestrial laser scanning
Local perception of infrequent, extreme upland flash flooding
The United Kingdom has experienced several exceptional summer flash floods in recent years and there is growing concern about the frequency of such events and the preparedness of the population. This paper uses a case study of the upper Ryedale flash flood (2005) and questionnaire and interview data to assess local perceptions of upland flash flooding. Experience of a major flash flood may not be associated with increased flood risk perception. D…
Peatland Geomorphology and Carbon Cycling
Peatlands in the northern hemisphere are important stores of soil carbon. The stability of peatlands is therefore important for the preservation of a major terrestrial carbon store as well as for the maintenance of the carbon storage function of peatlands. Peatland erosion has the potential to significantly impact carbon storage. This article reviews the evidence from eroding peatland systems, largely in the United Kingdom, to develop the thesis …
Geomorphology of the eastern Badia basalt plateau, Jordan
The eastern Badia of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan is a landscape developed predominantly on late Tertiary and Quaternary basalt lava flows, which vary in age between 8.9 million and 0.1 million years. Pyroclastic deposits are associated with remnant volcanic cones. There is limited, seasonal rainfall. Natural vegetation regenerates during cool, damp months. Slopes, which range from concave to convex forms and have varying relief, can be relate…
Improving the preparation for fieldwork with ‘IT’
Two potential roles for information technology (IT) to enhance the preparation phase for fieldwork are investigated. In the first initiative, a prototype geographical information system (GIS) is developed to support local fieldwork activity. The second initiative develops computer‐based briefing tutorials to prepare students for residential field classes. By enhancing the preparatory phase of fieldwork, students are more quickly acclimatised once…
Fewer People, Less Erosion
Detailed investigations of household livelihoods in the valleys of Tarija, southern Bolivia, show how the resources of many different localities are used to provide a satisfactory living without necessarily reducing the stock of resources in the longer term. Historical studies of changes in the numbers of people and livestock show how land-use systems have evolved in recent centuries, and studies of river basins reveal the extent to which the fre…
The snakes and ladders of research
The Snakes and Ladders of Research is a board game aimed at summarising and reinforcing the pitfalls and virtues of research design in undergraduate research projects. The game was used as part of a second‐year research design course, in which an attempt was made to transfer knowledge of good and bad research practices from a passive learning environment to an active one. When played with two undergraduate classes the game was well received and t…
Energenetics of Alpine Proglacial Geomorphic Processes
Sediment budgets provide a means of quantifying transfers and storages within a landscape. Expressing sediment budget processes in terms of work and power provides a useful additional perspective on a sediment system. This paper discusses the merits of an energetics approach to quantifying sediment transfer processes in the Bas Glacier d'Arolla proglacial zone, Valais, Switzerland, during the 1987 melt-season. Energy estimates, based on sediment …
