An Interdisciplinary Approach to Assessing, Planning and Managing Urban Rivers in the context of Greater London
No full textPhDUrban rivers present complex management challenges due to the combined natural and
anthropocentric factors affecting developed catchments. Planning urban river
rehabilitation strategies and measures in parallel with green infrastructure initiatives
requires the combined expertise of multi-disciplinary partnerships, encompassing river
science and landscape engineering plus community engagement, to deliver integrated
and sustainable outcomes. This thesis takes an interdisciplinary approach to investigate
the assessment and management of urban rivers, focusing specifically upon the planning
of integrated restoration projects for River Thames tributaries within Greater London.
Comparisons of restored and unrestored sites on London tributary rivers at the reachand
catchment-scale explore the versatility of the Urban River Survey method for
assessing and communicating contrasts in the bio-physical condition and
engineering:habitat associations of heavily modified rivers. A trial of the Ecosystem
Services Assessment method for urban river restorations indicates the strengths and
limitations of this approach and areas of research need.
Urban river governance investigations and a review of changes in restoration practices
over time confirm a decreasing emphasis on channel control and progressively lighter
engineering, plus a greater social focus with urban river management becoming
increasingly driven by awareness of the symbiosis between rivers and local
communities. In some London boroughs partner organisations are developing new links
through sustainable development objectives, but connections are geographically
inconsistent and typically dependent upon key advocates.
Findings indicate that integrated planning can facilitate interdisciplinary processes
through the identification of cross-cutting themes (e.g. climate change) and open
knowledge exchange when delivered with appropriate levels of detail. While some
disciplinary boundaries are necessary (to define project scope and for task
management), socio-ecological benefits may be achieved when these are flexible,
permeable and managed responsively in relation to simple overarching goals; and by
allowing time for different kinds of knowledge to merge and stimulate new creative and
integrated interpretations

A geomorphological framework for providing ecosystem services in lowland rivers
No full textThe publication of the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA, 2005) has generated widespread scientific debate regarding the importance of linkages between ecosystems and human well-being. An ecosystem services approach has presented many challenges during its early stages of development; fundamentally the ability to classify and value an ecosystem and its services. By its complex nature, ecosystem service research requires an interdisciplinary approach.The thesis focuses on the role of geomorphology as a means to providing a framework for delivering ecosystem services in lowland rivers. The framework introduces a reach-scale analysis of how geomorphological functions (GF) help provide a platform for bio-physical interactions that deliver multiple ecosystem services in lowland rivers. The analysis will assess the influence of geomorphological functions (GF) in providing ecosystem services.Understanding the links between „ecosystem services? and the functioning of ecosystems to human welfare is critical for a wide range of decision-making contexts (Fisher et al., 2008). River restoration provides a useful and practical technique for placing monetary costs to the functions that characterise geomorphologically diverse rivers, whilst allowing for a spatial understanding on how physical characteristics impact the delivery of multiple ecosystem services. Case studies help reveal other direct and indirect benefits associated with riverine environments

The Author of the Alexander Romance
No full textThis paper, which is based on a portion of the introduction of the author’s edition of Il Romanzo di Alessandro (Mondadori: Fondazione Valla 2007), surveys the generic components of the Alexander Romance in an attempt to arrive at a definition of the work. The argument builds on Merkelbach’s categorisation of elements and uses Fusillo’s insight into the novel as an ‘encyclopaedic genre’ to propose that ‘historical novel’ is not, as Hägg contended, a misnomer for the work. The main components I discuss are: ‘life’; praxeis; chreiai; Cynic elements, including choliambic poetry and utopian perspectives; and the Egyptian aspects of the narrative. A concluding jeu d’esprit offers a characterisation of the putative author, his antecedents and his process of composition.Richard Stoneman was for 25 years editor for classics at Croom Helm and then Routledge. In 1997 he was appointed an Honorary Fellow in the department of classics, University of Exeter. After retiring from publishing in 2006 he has been pursuing his researches on the Alexander legends and teaching a course on the subject at Exeter. His Penguin translation of the Alexander Romance was published in 1991, and a volume of translated Legends of Alexander the Great appeared from Everyman in 1994. Also in 1994 he co-edited Greek Fiction with John Morgan. His edition of the Greek recensions of the Alexander Romance was published (volume I) by the Fondazione Valla in 2007 – volumes II and III will follow over the next few years – and his Alexander the Great: A Life in Legend appeared from Yale University Press in spring 2008. He is the author of a number of other books on Greek history and travel, and is writing a book on oracles
