Returning Water Data to Communities in Ndola, Zambia: A Case Study in Decolonising Environmental Science
(University of California Press, 2019)Many scientific research projects carried out in developing countries gather data and fail to return any summary of the findings to the community that provided the data. Residents from communities experiencing water issues ... -
Can the commons be temporary? The role of transitional commoning in post-quake Christchurch
(Informa UK Limited, 2019)In recent work on commons and commoning, scholars have argued that we might delink the practice of commoning from property ownership, while paying attention to modes of governance that enable long-term commons to emerge ... -
Widespread army ant aversion among East African jumping spiders (Salticidae)
(2020)Jumping spiders (Salticidae) typically prey on a variety of arthropods of similar size to themselves, but rarely on ants. Using 28 salticid species from East Africa, we first investigated vision-based aversion to ants by ... -

A comparison of pedigree, genetic and genomic estimates of relatedness for informing pairing decisions in two critically endangered birds: Implications for conservation breeding programmes worldwide
(Wiley, 2020)Conservation management strategies for many highly threatened species include conservation breeding to prevent extinction and enhance recovery. Pairing decisions for these conservation breeding programmes can be informed ... -
A machine learning examination of hydroxyl radical differences among model simulations for CCMI-1
(Copernicus GmbH, 2020)Abstract. The hydroxyl radical (OH) plays critical roles within the troposphere, such as determining the lifetime of methane (CH4), yet is challenging to model due to its fast cycling and dependence on a multitude of ... -
South Island high country: let’s get it right this time
(New Zealand Ecological Society, 2020)New Zealand has a unique opportunity to reshape the future of 1.2 million hectares, or 5% of the country. Since 1990, land clearance and development in the South Island high country have removed large areas of native ... -
Research performance and age explain less than half of the gender pay gap in New Zealand universities
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2020)We use a globally unique dataset that scores every individual academic’s holistic research performance in New Zealand to test several common explanations for the gender pay gap in universities. We find a man’s odds of ... -
Halogen (Cl, F) release during explosive, effusive, and intrusive phases of the 2011 rhyolitic eruption at Cordón Caulle volcano (Chile)
(Volcanica, 2019)We investigate sulphur, chlorine and fluorine release during explosive, effusive and intrusive phases the 2011- 2012 Cordón Caulle eruption, with a focus on the halogens. Analysis of melt inclusions, pyroclasts and lava ... -
Stimulant diversion risk among college students treated for ADHD: Primary care provider prevention training.
(Elsevier BV, 2019)OBJECTIVES:To address increasing rates of stimulant misuse in college students, this study developed an evidence-based, brief clinical practice intervention for primary care providers (PCPs) to reduce stimulant medication ... -
Alloy-Free Band Gap Tuning across the Visible Spectrum
(American Physical Society (APS), 2019)We present evidence, from theory and experiment, that ZnSnN2 and MgSnN2 can be used to match the band gap of InGaN without alloying—by exploiting cation disorder in a controlled fashion. We base this on the determination ... -
Modelling emission trends from non-constant time series of PM10 concentrations in Christchurch, New Zealand
(INDERSCIENCE ENTERPRISES LTD, 2010)This paper presents an attempt to model the trend of emissions through analysis of a time series of PM10 concentrations in Christchurch, New Zealand. Emissions are not constant over time, but show high seasonality. ... -
Free propagation phase-contrast breast CT provides higher image quality than cone-beam breast-CT at low radiation doses: a feasibility study on human mastectomies
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019)© 2019, The Author(s). In this study we demonstrate the first direct comparison between synchrotron x-ray propagation-based CT (PB-CT) and cone-beam breast-CT (CB-CT) on human mastectomy specimens (N = 12) including different ... -
Footprint methods to separate N2O emission rates from adjacent paddock areas
(SPRINGER, 2015)Using micrometeorological techniques to measure greenhouse gas emissions from differently treated adjacent plots is a promising avenue to verify the effect of mitigation strategies at the field scale. In pursuing such an ...
