Whilst studies have already focused on the inflow of labour migrants from Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries to the UK, most have centred on the experiences of younger migrants. Less attention has been paid to the motivations, experiences a...

Across Europe, and beyond, there have been shifts towards reducing state intervention in ‘middle range’ governance spaces, such as regions, and attempts to devolve decision making to the most appropriate (local) level. Consequently, sub-regional scal... Read More about New Forms of Sub-regional Governance and Implications for Rural Areas: Evidence from England.

Gas transport in firn: multiple-tracer characterisation and model intercomparison for NEEM, Northern Greenland (2012)
