▼ AFRIKAANS: Afrikaans, as een van 11 amptelike
landstale, bevind homself in ’n unieke posisie as ’n belangrike
bemarkingskommunikasietaal. Die assosiasie tussen Afrikaans en die
apartheidsregering het die beeld van Afrikaans, oor jare, groot
skade berokken. Afrikaanssprekendes is egter vir baie jare reeds
die taalgroep met die grootste besteebare inkomste en ʼn teikengroep
wat maklik bereikbaar is. Tog word Afrikaans dikwels nie ernstig
deur die reklame-industrie opgeneem nie. Weinig is egter bekend oor
wat Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers se houding teenoor
bemarkingskommunikasie in Afrikaans is, of hulle dit hoegenaamd
verkies en of hulle bereid is om daarvoor te vra. Die primêre
navorsingsdoel van die studie was om stedelike Afrikaanssprekende
verbruikers se houding, voorkeur en selfgelding ten opsigte van
Afrikaanse
bemarkingskommunikasie te bepaal en verder te ondersoek.
Primêre data is met behulp van rekenaargesteunde telefoononderhoude
ingesamel. Die teikenpopulasie was stedelike Afrikaanssprekende
verbruikers in Suid-Afrika van 19 jaar en ouer. ’n
Verteenwoordigende steekproef van 306 voltooide onderhoude is op ’n
nie-ewekansige wyse met behulp van ʼn kwotasteekproef verkry. Die
studie het bevind dat stedelike Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers ’n
positiewe houding ten opsigte van Afrikaanse
bemarkingskommunikasie
het; dat hulle tot ’n baie groot mate ’n voorkeur vir Afrikaanse
bemarkingskommunikasie bo Engelse
bemarkingskommunikasie het, maar
dat hulle tot ’n mindere mate bereid is om waarskynlik selfgeldend
ten opsigte van Afrikaanse bemarkings-kommunikasie op te tree. Die
resultate dui ook aan dat daar, met die uitsondering van
verskillende ouderdomsgroepe, verskeie beduidende verskille in
stedelike Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers se houding, voorkeur en
selfgelding ten opsigte van Afrikaanse
bemarkingskommunikasie
voorkom, wat betref: demografiese profiel (inkomste, ras en
geslag); Engelse taalvaardigheid; taalgroepidentiteit; die
bemarkingskommunikasiemedium (kontakpersoneel, tasbare
kommunikasie, reklame en verpakking); produkbetrokkenheid
(ooreenkomstig die FCB-matriks); en produkte se posisie op die
goedere-dienstekontinuum (suiwer diens, goedere-dienstekruising en
suiwer produk). Onder meer toon die resultate dat vroulike
respondente ’n positiewer houding het, ’n groter voorkeur het en
meer waarskynlik selfgeldend sal optree ten opsigte van Afrikaanse
bemarkingskommunikasie as manlike respondente. Die resultate toon
ook dat, waar dienste en kontakpersoneel ter sprake is, stedelike
Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers by uitstek Afrikaanse
bemarkingskommunikasie verkies. Aspekte soos hierdie behoort in ag
geneem te word wanneer ’n bemarkingskommunikasieplan, wat hierdie
teikengroep insluit, ontwikkel word. Bemarkers en maatskappye wat
daarin belangstel om met stedelike Afrikaanssprekende verbruikers
’n verhouding te bou, behoort ongetwyfeld die moeite te doen om met
hierdie teikengroep in Afrikaans te kommunikeer. ENGLISH:

▼ We have developed a Lewis-acid catalyzed, diastereoselective aza-Cope rearrangement— Mannich cyclization to form acyl pyrrolidines from conformationally mobile substrates. In earlier studies from our lab, Brønsted acid-catalyzed reactions to form the same acyl pyrrolidines resulted in diastereoselectivities of 8:1
trans to
cis at elevated temperatures (60 °C) over the course of 150 minutes. We have demonstrated an improvement in our method yielding exclusively the
trans isomers at ambient temperature with substoichiometric amounts of BF
3•OEt
2 within 3 minutes. Catalyst loadings as low as 0.05 equivalents of BF
3•OEt
2 initiate this transformation. Our synthetic method employs the oxazolidine starting material as a mixture of diastereomers to produce one pyrrolidine diastereomer. Both ethyland substituted phenyl-oxazolidines were successfully rearranged. This work is the first example of a truly catalytic aza-Cope—Mannich reaction and provides the first examples of diastereoselective syntheses of 2-phenyl-4-acylpyrrolidines via this reaction.

▼ Tourism has become the most important source for stimulating the economies of countries of the world. It stimulates enormous investment in infrastructure and helps states to improve their balance of payments, which should help to create job opportunities and improve the living conditions of local people by helping to equalise economic opportunities and keep rural residents from moving to overcrowded cities (WTO, 2007). Libyan economy is still dependent on oil by a large margin, with the knowledge that there are other sectors which can participate in the diversification of the economy, but not given the opportunity by the Government (such as the tourism sector). But tourism development in order to be useful in the long term must be sustainable. Berlin Declaration of 1997 suggested that “achieving sustainable forms of tourism is the responsibility of all stakeholders involved, where it is critical that planners and decision-makers understand the attitudes of stakeholders towards sustainable actions in tourism development". The aim of the study is to explore the possibility of treating sustainable tourism development in the Al-Gabal Al-Gharbi City (GGC) in the future, by recognizing the extent of support that can be provided by key stakeholders for tourism, according to the study of their attitudes toward tourism development in this city. The GGC was selected as a case for the study because it is representative of other cities in Libya which are in urgent need of development projects in order to find solutions to many economic, social and environmental problems. Four key groups of stakeholders were selected to participate in this study (local residents, tourists, government sector, and the private sector). The researcher used "mixed method" to collect main data such as: The questionnaire which was used as a key method to discover the attitudes of residents and tourists, and the interviews used to explore the attitudes of the public and private sectors. Additionally, the researcher also used reports, studies, books, tables, images and maps published together with field visits to some tourist sites including close monitoring of the reality as a secondary source for data collection. The study led to some important findings, where it confirmed the existence of good tourist resources in the city in terms of quantity and quality of tourist products and identified the possibility of competition at the local and global levels. However many tourist sites would need more care and attention in terms of discovery, maintenance, advertising, and training. Thus there is a need for supportive policies such as legal, administrative and financial facilities. The study confirmed as well the existence of limitless support for tourism development by all stakeholders, which is an essential element for the sustainability of tourism development in the city. The study also identified the sustainable tourism development trends in the city by identifying tourism demand, its internal and external sources, and the key tourism projects that deserve…

▼ Many households in developing and developed countries will face increased extreme weather events due to climate change. Insurance could be a key coping strategy against the associated impacts of extreme weather. There is value in better understanding the characteristics that make insurance an appropriate means of coping for some sub-groups over others. The framework for household decisions to insure used in this research focuses on four factors: 1. economic, 2. social and cultural, 3. structural, and 4. personal and demographic.
This thesis considers two case studies: agricultural index-based microinsurance in rural Uganda and home flood insurance in the USA It seeks to understand intended demand and the related drivers for insurance in these settings through the use of large-N surveys, field games, and on-line simulations. The rural Ugandan survey tool was implemented using innovative smart-phone technology and yielded 3000+ observations of expressed willingness-to-join (WTJ) and willingness-to-pay (WTP) for agricultural microinsurance. This tool also obtained information concerning propensity to engage with alternative coping strategies, both formal and informal. It also obtained household indicators of the factor classesnoted above.
A separate field game in Uganda investigated attitudes towards basis risk arising from index insurance using a novel, iterative game involving farmers allocating their wealth between insurance and crop production. The game is played in partner sets to gauge the relative influence of others’ decisions and outcomes on one’s choice to insure.
The USA study compares propensity to purchase flood insurance between those affected and unaffected by Hurricane Sandy in the same geographic areas. We obtained 800 observations from an online survey tool, combining survey questions and a flood insurance purchase simulation. In the simulation we include as a treatment a more extensive (graphical) presentation of expected losses to assess the effect oninsurance uptake rates.
In the Ugandan case, WTJ is over 95% and the average WTP is moderate relative to household wealth. For our sample there is evidence that microinsurance and loans are substitutes and the most frequently chosen traditional coping strategy is selling cattle. In the American study, respondents insure in just over 50% of the presented simulations and over 60% have a positive stated WTJ. Notably, there is little insurance demand difference between cohorts affected and unaffected by Hurricane Sandy. In both studies, a significant proportion of respondents with disparate personal characteristics chose to always or never insure, regardless of the details of the simulation scenarios, though WTJ varies positively with expected losses; this behaviour may be related to affect from the feeling of insurance.
In the Ugandan study, occurrence of basis risk reduces WTJ in the following period and respondents clearly are affected by the choices made by their partners. In the American study, insurance adoption is greater for the cohort exposed…

▼ The aim of this dissertation is to determine the spatial and dynamic mechanisms that govern the supply of oil and natural gas. Specifically, the research evaluates how fear of the future affects behavior today and thereby it tests whether non-renewable resource owners behave in the forward-looking manner described by Harold Hotelling in the 1930s. Understanding what governs the supply of oil and natural gas is vital, as these fuels have significant economic and environmental implications for the planet. Integrating original research papers, the dissertation unfolds in seven chapters. The first and second chapters provide the foundation for the following research, by introducing the existing literature on oil and gas management. The subsequent three chapters discuss common pool
problems as a method of identifying forward-looking behavior. Retaining this focus on weak property rights, chapter six evaluates the short-term relationship between government stability and oil extraction in authoritarian petro-states. The final chapter summarizes the main findings and outlines key implications. Drawing on new datasets and novel methodological tools, this dissertation demonstrates how fear of common pool problems governs exploration and extraction in the oil and gas industry today. However, contrary to conventional theory, this dissertation does not find that political instability motivates authoritarian regimes to accelerate their extraction.

▼ In the first paper, I introduce a new framework to estimate household climate risk exposure based on a combination of climate and microeconomic data. I apply it to the Ethiopian Rural Household Survey (1994-2009) and find that households living at low altitudes are the most vulnerable to weather shocks. The second paper is based on a combination of open and double-blind randomized controlled trials (RCT) conducted in Tanzania in 2013 with 560 farmers. By comparing the results between the participants in the open and double-blind groups, we find that more than 50% of the total effect of improved seeds estimated in traditional open RCTs depends on farmers’ behaviour. The third paper, based on the RCT mentioned above (only the open one is used), tests the hypothesis that farmers try to escape forced solidarity when facing favourable conditions. We find that farmers having received the improved seeds decrease their number of social interactions. We interpret this as a sign that farmers seek to hide from the pressure to redistribute. In the fourth paper, I leave Africa for the Republic of Ireland and show that a large Irish agri-environmental scheme does not increase farmers’ risk exposure.

▼ The global economic system has been undergoing fundamental changes since the 1980s. Many emerging countries drastically increased their openness to trade and foreign investments. Formerly socialist countries entered a transition towards a market-based model and deepened their integration into the global economy. As a result, the geography of trade, investment flows, and innovation is becoming more multipolar. This thesis seeks to improve our understanding of the links between these macro-level shifts and the geography of innovation, spatial patterns of economic deprivation, as well as firm-level outcomes in emerging countries.
This thesis is structured into an introductory chapter and four analytical papers. The introductory chapter outlines three themes corresponding to the areas to which this thesis makes a contribution: (1) the interplay of the local and the global dimension in shaping regional patterns of knowledge creation, (2) the link between the relative weight of the private sector and spatial patterns of economic deprivation, and (3) the role of global production networks and the changing geography of trade in shaping regional patterns of innovative performance and heterogeneous firm-level outcomes.
The first paper examines the geography of innovation in Russia, adopting a perspective that combines Soviet-era legacies, contemporaneous regional conditions, and global linkages. The results shed light on multinational enterprises’ (MNEs) role as key agents providing Russian regions with knowledge from distant places. The findings
simultaneously point to the importance of path dependencies in regional patterns of knowledge generation.
The second paper investigates the link between regional innovative performance in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia and investments of MNEs categorized by entry mode and business function. The analysis suggests that the relationship between global linkages established by MNEs and regional knowledge creation is jointly shaped by the heterogeneity of MNEs’ investments and the heterogeneity of region-specific conditions in Latin American economies at different stages of technological development.
The third paper focuses on Vietnam, a country that has seen some provinces act as pioneers and others as laggards in the journey towards an outward-oriented marketbased economy. The link between the private sector’s weight in the economy and economic deprivation is a topic of considerable policy interest, but its subnational dimension remains underexplored. The analysis considers the relationship between provincial differences in the change of private firms’ formal employment share and changes in the geography of economic deprivation. The findings reveal that increases in private firms’ employment share are associated with reductions in poverty. MNEs appear to be a key driver of this association.
Finally, the fourth paper concerns Vietnam’s growing trade with China. It looks at the link between imports from China and firm-level outcomes in Vietnam’s manufacturing sector. The results show…

▼ This thesis comprises of four essays that seek to advance understanding of the role that climatic constraints have on agricultural productivity in India and Pakistan. This work emphasises that the constraints posed to agricultural production must be understood within the context of an evolving set of environmental and technological conditions. The thesis employs empirical methods to understand these relationships, where particular emphasis is placed on methods suitable for learning about the challenges agriculture will face in the future. The first chapter studies the impact of climate change on rice yields in India by modelling the inter-annual distribution of yield conditional on projected temperature increases. The results suggest a decrease in average yield and a substantial increase in the probability of low yields. It is also shown that yields have become increasingly resilient to heat over time. The second chapter studies the e↵ect of drought on cereal production in India by estimating thresholds of drought impact. By examining thresholds over time, evidence is found of decreasing average impacts, but with evidence of an abrupt increase in average drought impacts in more recent years. Thresholds of precipitation are also estimated, indicating substantial heterogeneity in resilience to drought across crop types and regions of India. The third chapter examines how changes in agricultural technology brought about by the Green Revolution a↵ected the relative importance of agro-climatic factors in determining crop yields. Using a detailed measure of crop suitability it is found that yields increased relatively more in areas of higher suitability, indicating complementarity between agricultural technologies and favourable agro-climatic characteristics. The final chapter uses farm-level data from a specifically-designed survey to assess the impact and determinants of climate change adaptation strategies on crop productivity in Pakistan. Adaptation has a beneficial e↵ect on rice yields, but not on wheat yields. This chapter also finds that a number of household and institutional factors are strongly related to whether households have adapted to climate change.

▼ This thesis addresses two important issues of environmental and resource economics: how agricultural households adapt to climate change (CC) and how the households recover from climate hazards. Chapter 1 attempts to enunciate the perspective of the overall research and the rationale for researching on Bangladesh. It summarizes the global evidences of CC and disaster, their impacts, vulnerabilities in agriculture sector, significance of adaptation and poverty impact of disaster. Chapter 2 examines whether crop choice is affected by CC and the extent to which households switch their crops in response to the CC scenarios. It finds that crop choice is climate-sensitive and a shift in crop choices will take place in Bangladesh in response to CC scenarios. This research also finds that crop choice will be more sensitive to change in temperature than change in rainfall. Chapter 3 examines the effect of CC on crop diversification and the households’ response to CC scenarios. It finds that crop diversity is climate sensitive and this diversity in different locations varies with climatic conditions. Effects of rainfall scenarios on crop diversity are much lower compared to the effects of temperature. Chapter 4 investigates the impact of cyclone on consumption and income dynamics in a quasi-experimental setting and finds that low income people are more sensitive of their asset loss to income generation compared to the high income people, and disaster causes income loss, but, people show their resilience in accelerating higher income growth compared to the non-affected areas. Chapter 5 examines poverty group dynamics in the post-shock period and the existence of a poverty trap in the cyclone affected coastal region of Bangladesh. It finds that asset loss or asset holding impacts the dynamism of the poverty groups and poverty traps exists at low levels of income in the disaster affected areas compared to the unaffected areas.

▼ This thesis investigates the economic implications of climate change uncertainties. It seeks to contribute to the existing literature by exploring various aspects of how uncertainty can and should be integrated in economic assessments of climate impacts and what this entails for policy-making.
For several reasons, including analytical tractability and the difficulties of accommodating uncertainty in individual and social decision-making, the full scale of climate change uncertainties is often artificially reduced in economic assessments of climate change, e.g. through the use of best estimates, averages or mid-point scenarios. However, the impacts of future climate change on humankind are highly uncertain and require full investigation. The approach taken in this thesis has therefore been to ask new questions related to the economic implications of climate change uncertainties and to address each problem using innovative methods, which allow a more accurate characterization of the uncertainties at stake and of their potential interactions.
This thesis comprises four standalone chapters (Chapter 2 to 5). The first chapter (Chapter 2) investigates how uncertainty about the benefits of climate mitigation, about future economic growth and about the relationship between these uncertainties affects the rate at which we should discount the benefits of reducing greenhouse gas emissions today. The second chapter (Chapter 3) examines the impact of including the permafrost carbon feedback in the DICE Integrated Assessment Model on the social cost of carbon and on the optimal global mitigation policy. Whereas the first two chapters rely on the use of an Integrated Assessment Model, the final two chapters are based on econometric methods applied to weather and climate variables. The third chapter (Chapter 4) explores the impacts of droughts on regional economic growth in the United States. The last chapter (Chapter 5) examines the implications of temperature on inflation and central banks’ policy interest rates.

▼ This thesis (papers submission) focuses on the challenge of using public opinion to value environmental goods that are both complex to understand and unfamiliar to people. The three central papers are introduced by a literature review, which considers recent advancements in methods and knowledge associated with determining values for unfamiliar goods. The first paper then applies a stated preference choice experiment (using online surveys) and a latent class analysis to determine the value of reducing persistent chemicals from waterbodies in England and Wales. A scientific certainty attribute is included to capture the uncertainties associated with persistent chemical effects, marking a novel contribution to the literature and a development of the precautionary principle for application. The second paper uses a deliberative approach to investigate how people frame policy options for reducing chemical water pollution in England and Wales (required under the Water Framework Directive), using a representative sample of participants over two consecutive weekend workshops. The key finding here is that stated preference research aiming to be policy-relevant should improve its approach to cost fairness issues. The final paper uses a contingent valuation approach (using online surveys) to estimate the value of removing metal pollution from waterbodies in England and Wales. This paper applies a split sample to investigate the effect of a social norms information treatment on how convincing and realistic people found the stated preference scenario and payment tasks to be, which increased for the treatment group. The results indicate that the treatment has a weak direct impact on estimated mean willingness to pay (WTP), however a relative measure of WTP precision suggests that such estimates can be improved if people pay attention to the treatment. The findings from this thesis are of use to social scientists, civil servants and environmental economists interested in: improving approaches to valuing complex and unfamiliar goods; better reflecting natural decision-making in public opinion research; and applying findings from deliberative and survey-based research to create and manage more effective policies.

▼ This thesis focuses on modelling air pollution in Aberdeen. It takes into account how traffic and meteorological variables affect the Nitrogen Dioxide concentrations at a number of different sites throughout the city during the year 2014. The aim of the thesis is to build a regression model of spatial and temporal concentration variations and use inverse regression to develop a tool to identify control mechanisms that will help manage Nitrogen Dioxide concentrations in an urban setting. This is of particular importance to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA).
Chapter 1 focuses on the motivation for carrying out such a study, as well as the aims and objectives. The data are introduced in this Chapter. These include data from different AURN (Automatic Urban Road Network) sites in Aberdeen, as well as diffusion tube data, traffic counts from different locations as well as meteorological data recorded at Dyce Airport.
Chapter 2 covers the temporal modelling of air quality in Aberdeen using time series analysis. Time series methodology is explored which includes an initial exploration of the model variables using linear regression; followed by residual diagnostics; time series regression; the definition of autocorrelation function (ACF), partial autocorrelation function (PACF) and stationarity; the exploration of seasonality and harmonic regression, and ends with generalized additive model methodology. This spans from 2006-2015.
Chapter 3 investigates the spatial modelling of air quality in Aberdeen. This is done through numerical and graphical summaries. Methods used to explore NO2 data are presented. This includes geostatistical modelling. Two different models are investigated. Model parameters are estimated, using maximum likelihood estimates and restricted maximum likelihood estimates. This is followed by prediction of future values, using a statistical technique known as Kriging.
Chapter 4 uses inverse regression to estimate road traffic flows required to achieve compliance with national air quality objectives. This Chapter also presents the usefulness of inverse regression.
Chapter 5 ends with a discussion on what further work can be done, and any conclusions for this thesis. It looks at the strengths and weaknesses of each Chapter in turn.

▼ Organic soils play an important role in the fluvial carbon cycle through production and export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from the breakdown of plant material. However little is known about the changes in organic soil-derived fluvial DOC composition and its potential impacts on in-stream DOC breakdown dynamics. This research explores how aquatic DOC composition is influenced by land use, and how the biological utilisation of DOC may be influenced by its composition. Specifically, this research focusses on peat- rich catchments, subject to disturbance for wind farm construction to:
1. explore for how long the disturbance from wind farm development affects water chemistry in peaty catchments through analysing the long-term trends in fluvial DOC and nutrient concentrations in the draining streams;
2. assess if different wind farm-associated land uses, (construction and deforestation), exert different influences on fluvial DOC quantity and composition in peatland catchments;
3. investigate relationships between total dissolved iron (Fe) concentration [Fe] and concentrations of DOC and nutrients (phosphorus and nitrate), as this interaction may ultimately shape the DOC biodegradability during fluvial transport.
4. quantify how much DOC is biodegraded in peatland streams and what controls this.
To examine the wind farm disturbance on fluvial DOC concentration, [DOC], and spectrophotometric composition, streamwater samples from five peatland catchments draining the south of the Whitelee wind farm in Scotland were analysed monthly from 2014 to 2016. To further understand the impacts of wind farm-associated land uses, spatial and temporal variation of DOC concentration and composition were assessed between sub-catchments D-WF and D-FF within a small catchment, Drumtee. D-WF was draining the wind farm construction areas and D-FF draining the felled forestry. The concentrations of soluble reactive phosphorus, [SRP], and total oxidised nitrogen, [TON], were also measured.
Using existing and data new to this study, a long-term [DOC] increase (2006 - 2016) was observed in the Whitelee catchments since the start of wind farm development (October 2006, with the associated felling activities starting in November 2006). The increase may be a result of wind farm long-term disturbance, by generating more DOC which could be exported when discharge increases.

Abstract
that wind farm-related deforestation led to more peat decomposition and greater DOC release than the construction activities.
DOC is dominated by humic substances (HS), which generally can be further divided into humic acids (HAs) and fulvic acids (FAs). In WL13, DOC was less aromatic and humic than the other Whitelee catchments, with smaller…

▼ Although Holocene climate changes are significantly smaller in amplitude than the Pleistocene Glacial-Interglacial cycles (Dansgaard et al., 1993), they have affected human civilisations over at least the last 4000 years (Buntgen et al., 2011; Lamb, 1995; Mayewski & White, 2002). The study of Holocene climate variations is increasingly important to disentangle climate change caused by anthropogenic influences from natural climate change. Furthermore, Holocene climate change provides the geological context in which to place contemporary climatic observations.
Studying sedimentary records stemming from marine biotopes located close to land, such as fjords, affords the opportunity to study marine and terrestrial paleo-climatic variability, and therein linking the two together. Additionally, fjordic environments typically have a higher sediment accumulation rate than deeper ocean sites, facilitating resolution of rapid climate change events. The fjords of Northwest Iceland are ideal for studying Holocene climate change as they receive warm water from the Irminger current, an end member of the Atlantic current, but are also influenced by the east Greenland current, which brings cold polar waters to the region (Jennings et al., 2011). Furthermore, the coring site is located beneath one of the dipoles of the North Atlantic Oscillation (Hurrell, 1995). Therefore, oceanic and atmospheric Holocene variability should be recorded in the sediments studied.
Alkenones, terrestrial leaf wax n-alkanes, branched and archaeal glycerol tetraethers and C/N ratios from a sediment core from the mouth of the Ísafjarðardjúp fjord (MD99-2266; location: 66° 13' 77'' N, 23° 15' 93'' W; 106 m water depth) were analysed. These terrestrial and marine biomarkers were used to produce biomarker based palaeoclimatic records with the highest resolution to date (one sample every ~ 32 years), covering the Holocene from ~ 10,700 calibrated years before present (cal. a BP) to ~ 300 cal. a BP.
The terrestrial and marine organic carbon contributions to the sediment and the palaeoproductivity of the fjord vary throughout the Holocene forced by changing climate. While the amount of terrestrial organic carbon is primarily controlled by the development of vegetation as glaciers retreat, the primary productivity is controlled by varying influxes of nutrient rich water masses.
By combining the reconstructed sea surface temperature, air temperature and precipitation records, climatic changes that affect the terrestrial and marine realm are uncovered. Two periods in the Holocene where major climatic shifts in the North Atlantic region occur, one at ~ 7700 cal. a BP, and one at ~ 2900 cal. a BP, are observed. Meltwater events and decreasing summer insolation drive climatic change throughout the early Holocene. The middle Holocene climate, from 7700 to 2900 cal. a BP is driven by decreasing summer insolation, and meridional overturning circulation. The climate variability is decoupled from insolation change in the late Holocene, and the sea surface temperature and…

▼ This thesis presents the results of a study of recent radionuclide chronological techniques applied to two contrasting locations in an ombrotrophic peat bog in West Central Scotland. The locations differed in that one was undisturbed but the other had been previously forested. The study demonstrated that with a limit of detection of 5 Bq kg-1 or better, rigorous sampling technique and high resolution (2 cm) sampling increments, 210Pb dating using either the CIC method or the CRS method and 241Am dating method all gave consistent chronologies. Use of a low resolution field sampling technique gave consistent CIC but not CRS chronologies. The study indicated that neither 137Cs nor 32Si could be used to derive reliable chronologies for peat. Implied temporal variations in deposition of anthropogenic species (ash, Pb and Pb isotopes) were consistent with known historical variations and other studies of archived materials, lake sediments and peat deposits. Metal inventories were observed to be consistently higher for the unforested site than for the previously forested site, but comparison with chronologies implied that this was a long term feature of the two sites rather than an influence of the relatively short term presence of the forest. This observation highlights the limitations of extrapolating from a single core to derive information on larger scale regional deposition of contaminants.

▼ The insect diversity and abundance in three forest types namely: Endau Rompin
(pristine lowland forest) Gunung Ledang (pristine highland forest) and Bukit Soga
(degraded lowland forest) in Johor, Malaysia were studied. The study focused on
10 common insect orders. The objectives are (1) to investigate the composition
and abundance of insect morphospecies in three forest types; (2) to compare the
composition and abundance of insect morphospecies in the wet and dry seasons in
three forest types; and (3) to determine the dominant insect of the study sites.
There were four sampling methods employed as baited pitfall traps, aerial net,
manual collection and sweep net. The sampling methods were employed three
days in each location. The different insects sampled, were higher during the wet
season as compared to the dry season (diversity and abundance). Although Bukit
Soga lowland a degraded forest had the highest diversity of 52; and abundance of
112,081 individuals, it had the lowest Shannon weiner index of species diversity
and lowest evenness of (H’1.09 and evenness of 0.28). Gunung Ledang, had
lowest species diversity of 32 and abundance of 1,695 individuals but had the
highest H’of 2.34 and highest evenness of 0.68. Endau Rompin had 46 species
diversity and abundance of 70,821individuals and H’of 1.17and evenness of 0.30.
In highland forest the most diverse dominant insects were the butterflies
(Lepidoptera: Rhopalocera). Meanwhile ant, (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) was
more diverse in lowland forest than the highland forest. In all the three locations,
ant was most abundant. Since Jaccard similarity index was low between Gunung
Ledang and Bukit Soga (0.22); and between Gunung Ledang and Endau Rompin
(0.27) it is concluded that altitude had a greater effect on insect diversity. This is
supported by a two ways ANOVA analyses that showed insect diversity and
abundance between the two lowland forests (Endau Rompin and Bukit Soga) and
highland forest (Gunung Ledang) are significantly different. Difference between
the lowland forests was not significant. Generally, effect of wet and dry seasons
has no clear impact on diversity but abundance was higher during wet season
especially for ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae).

Energy and equity revisited: Examining local approaches to energy justice through community renewables development in Wales.

▼ Whilst calls for energy justice have grown, fleeting attention has been paid to the role and agency of the very people at the heart of this agenda. Most understandings of energy justice embrace the 'triumvirate of tenets', encompassing distributive, recognition, and procedural justice. But, despite this promising start, energy justice research has engaged little with community-scale and participatory approaches to the enactment of energy justice on the ground.
The concepts and practices of ‘community renewable energy’ present one such arena within which energy justice might be enacted at a local level in a bottom-up approach. However, existing research on community renewables tends to assume, or provide largely anecdotal evidence for, the benefits and outcomes associated with such projects, whilst the nature of community renewables as an ongoing, temporal process is poorly understood. These are important issues to understand from the perspective of justice.
This thesis aims to examine the complex, differential ways that community renewables are implicated in negotiating greater social justice within and beyond the energy sector. In turn, it seeks to understand the relevance and consequences of these issues for dominant perspectives on energy justice. It does so by mobilising a cross-sectoral, qualitative analysis of the community renewables sector in Wales.
Findings show community renewables are highly relevant for improving access to pro-justice outcomes, such as through acting on the impacts of austerity, improving local economic opportunities, and promoting environmentalism and stewardship of natural resources. They also reveal novel insights on community renewables as an ongoing, temporal process which does not simply end after a project is developed. Moreover, it shows that key approaches to energy justice are intellectually ill-equipped to account for the relevance of issues beyond the energy system as potential drivers or outcomes of energy actions. A broader approach to energy justice is thus required.

▼ This thesis seeks to advance our understanding of climatic influence on economic outcomes. The approach taken places emphasis on understanding the channels and mechanisms through which weather has an effect, and through which climate change could have an effect, on economic behaviour – rather than estimating the impact of future climate change – to better inform the design and implementation of policy. This thesis is composed of four papers that adopt this new paradigm, providing new insights into how weather affects economic outcomes today, how economic agents respond to and manage the economic consequences of changes in their natural environment,
and providing explicit mechanisms through which the impacts of, and adaptation to, climate change could affect economic outcomes in the future.

A new stochastic backscatter model for large-eddy simulation of neutral atmospheric flows.

(more)
▼ A stochastic backscatter (SB) approach to subgrid-scale (SGS) modelling for large-eddy simulation (LES) of the neutral atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) has previously been shown to reduce excessive velocity shear, as seen with the popular Smagorinsky SGS model, in the under-resolved surface layer. However, previous SB models exhibit unwanted grid-dependency issues, and the range of atmospheric flows tested remains limited. Here, a new SB model is proposed that uses a grid-adaptive filter to control the length-scale, anisotropy and momentum flux of the backscatter fluctuations, independently of the model grid. Model performance is confirmed to be grid-independent in simulations of the neutral ABL, in which an 80% reduction in excessive near-surface velocity shear is achieved.
The model is also applied to street canyon flow, where the shear layer that separates the recirculating vortex within the canyon from the external flow is again typically under-resolved in most LES set-ups. The backscatter acts to increase momentum transfer across the shear layer, bringing the simulated vortex intensity significantly closer towards wind-tunnel observations. A passive tracer is also released to model traffic emissions, and the pollutant exchange velocity between the canyon and the external flow is again found in better agreement with wind-tunnel data. This information can be used to improve operational urban dispersion models.

▼ Ambient ozone, as a secondary air pollutant in the troposphere, is a major threat to human health, plants and the environment. In order to develop effective air quality policy to minimise ozone pollution, it is important to gain a quantitative understanding of the chemical factors that drive tropospheric ozone production. There are a number of limitations and uncertainties in the current models and indirect methods used to estimate chemical ozone production rates. Here, an Ozone Production Rate (OPR) instrument is developed to fulfil the demand of accurately measuring ambient ozone production rates in the atmosphere. This prototype system aims to directly measure the in situ oxidant (Ox: O3 + NO2) production rate p(Ox) in ambient air. This thesis describes the OPR experimental methodology, instrument properties and system characteristics. Two field deployments (London and India) are comprehensively discussed, and correction approaches are implemented to improve measurement accuracy. The field measurement results indicated the measured p(Ox) levels could be used to interpret modelled Ox production rates, and changes in ambient oxidant level. The OPR system could be a useful tool to determine the balance between advection and chemical production in controlling local ozone levels, and hence support ozone control policy.

▼ The aim of the study is to investigate the variability in riverbed permeability fields in an unprecedented spatial resolution and quantify the impacts on controlling hyporheic exchange fluxes. Geophysical surveys were conducted deploying GPR on the floodplain and within the channel. At locations identified to be representative for the range of streambed hydrofacies in investigated stream reach, multi-level mini-piezometer networks were installed in the streambed.
The results of GPR surveys in both sites provided different radar reflections which indicated a range of different radar facies and helped to delineate the type and extend of high and low conductive materials. The localised high Darcy fluxes inside high conductivity piezometers indicated rapid discharge of groundwater due to the enhanced connectivity to deeper groundwater. Whereas, low flow velocity within and around low conductivity peat and clay lenses indicated that these layers substantially inhibit groundwater upwelling, resulting in enhanced streambed residence and reaction times. The increase in residence time and the related depletion in the volume of DO facilitated the development of conditions necessary for nitrate reduction. In contrast, preferential flow paths and short residence times in highly conductive drift deposits resulted in no significant changes in nitrate concentrations along hyporheic flow paths.

▼ Producing reliable estimates of changes in precipitation at local- and regional-scales remains an important challenge in climate change science. Statistical downscaling methods are often utilised to bridge the gap between the coarse resolution of General Circulation Models (GCMs) and the higher-resolutions at which information is required by the majority of end users. However, the skill of GCM precipitation, particularly in simulating temporal variability, is not fully understood and statistical downscaling typically adopts a ‘Perfect-Prog’ (short for perfect prognosis) approach in which the derivation of high-resolution precipitation projections is based on real world statistical relationships between large-scale atmospheric ‘predictors’ and local-scale precipitation. Here, a ‘nudged’ simulation of the ECHAM5 GCM is conducted in which the large-scale climatic state is forced towards historical observations of large-scale circulation and temperature for the period 1958-2001. By comparing simulated and observed precipitation it is possible to, for the first time, quantify GCM skill in simulating temporal variability of precipitation. Correlation between simulated and observed monthly mean precipitation is shown to be as strong as 0.8-0.9 in many parts of Europe, North America and Australia. A nudged simulation permits the development of an alternative approach to statistical downscaling, known as Model Output Statistics (MOS), to correct precipitation as simulated by ECHAM5. It is also shown that MOS correction offers greater skill than Perfect-Prog methods when estimating local-scale monthly mean precipitation. The strongest-performing MOS models are applied to ECHAM5 climate change simulations and are shown to produce high-resolution precipitation projections that support those of RCM simulations. The potential for extending the MOS approach to daily precipitation is also assessed, with recommendations made for further research and application.

▼ Occupying a disjointed and vulnerable habitat, specialist Coleoptera associated with Exposed Riverine Sediments (ERS) are shown to exhibit high levels of adaptation. An assessment of the English and Welsh habitat resource confirms the presence of strong geographical and physical restraints on its distribution which partially explain the rarity of some of the associated Coleoptera. Assemblage studies reveal the presence of multiple adaptive strategies that enable specialists to utilise the resource in spite of perceived environmental pressures, and the strength of these morphological and behavioural adaptations can be used to predict abundance and distribution at alpha, beta and gamma levels. Furthermore, adaptations enforce varying nutrient acquisition strategies which spatially define communities. This study demonstrates the need specialist invertebrates have for a complex and highly connected ERS habitat with English and Welsh rivers, that exhibits structural variation along a longitudinal gradient. Reliant on riverine processes and subsidies the habitat and its associated invertebrates are symptomatic of a healthy and naturally structured lotic system operating laterally and across reach scales.

▼ During the early Palaeogene warm interval megathermal climatic regimes expanded beyond their current tropical limits. The early Palaeogene sporomorph (pollen and spore) record of the US Gulf Coastal Plain (GCP) documents an extra-tropical vegetation type that developed under these megathermal climatic conditions. It is therefore suitable to address hypotheses concerning the importance of tropical climates in controlling low latitude spatial and temporal diversity patterns. Here, I construct a new sporomorph dataset comprising 151 samples, 41831 counted specimens and 214 sporomorph morphotypes. Fifty-nine of these morphotypes were not found in the published literature and are newly described. I demonstrate that previous studies of the GCP sporomorph record that have relied on biostratigraphic datasets have underestimated the true species richness of this region. Compositional heterogeneity was important for maintaining regional species richness on the GCP. The rate and scale dependency of spatial turnover in Holocene tropical and extra-tropical sporomorphs records precluded associating the GCP vegetation more closely with any particular modern biome, however. Finally, I show that warming extra-tropical regions to megathermal levels did not stimulate increased speciation there, which does not support a direct control of temperature on speciation rate in the low latitudes.

▼ This thesis describes the development and application of a laboratory system to investigate the loss of peroxy radicals to aerosol. The laboratory system consisted of an aerosol flow tube coupled to a custom-built PEroxy Radical Chemical Amplifier (PERCA).
Aerosol was generated using an atomiser and their distribution measured using a SMPS. New values of the HO2 uptake coefficient, γ , were obtained for wet and dry sodium chloride aerosol and dry ammonium sulphate aerosol. The mass accommodation coefficient, α, was also determined for NaCl. A box model was used to determine the implications of the new uptake coefficient of HO2 loss to NaCl aerosol for tropospheric chemistry in the marine boundary layer.

▼ Although the Arctic is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate change, links between hydrology and ecology in high-latitude northern river basins are not well understood. Interdisciplinary research over three summer melt seasons (2010 to 2012) in the Kongsfjorden area of northwest Svalbard identified process connections between conceptual water sources, physicochemical habitat, and ecological structure and functioning in river basins. Water source dynamics determined from hydrochemical and isotopic data indicated differences in meltwater and groundwater contributions to river flow which varied both spatially and temporally at seasonal and year-to-year timescales. Non-glacier-fed rivers were characterised by less variable flow regimes, warmer water temperature, lower suspended sediment concentration and more stable channel morphologies. Several physicochemical habitat variables, notably water temperature and channel stability, were related significantly to rates of nutrient uptake and macroinvertebrate community structure. These data suggest that a future shift towards groundwater-dominated flow regimes may increase biotic diversity and rates of nutrient cycling in some high-latitude rivers. Key research findings are synthesised in conceptual models and provide a framework to understand the hydroecological response of these Arctic river systems to climate change.

▼ This thesis seeks to quantify the effect of land use change from tropical forest to oil palm plantation on nitrogen biogeochemical cycling in Sabah, Malaysia (Borneo). Nitrogen cycling process rates and indices were examined across four forests and six oil palm plantations during the inter-monsoon and end of wet season in 2010 and 2012 respectively. Firstly, the study establishes a baseline to assess the impact of land use change along a chronosequence of forest succession. Results indicate that forests follow a trajectory of nitrogen recovery and increased “openness” to nitrogen cycling through secondary forest development. Secondly, the spatial and temporal variation of nitrogen cycling within oil palm plantations is assessed. Results show that plantation management practices result in spatial variability in soil nitrogen. Examining process rates revealed an increasing trend of N(2)O emission and decreasing trends of soil organic matter content as plantations matured. However, season and soil type also affected denitrification and N(2)O emission. Finally, a replicated comparison of process rates in forests and plantations on riparian and terra firme soils revealed that plantation establishment significantly altered rates of nitrogen cycling and resulted in greater emissions of N(2)O from (terra) (firme) plantations.
