For twenty years, place concepts have been used to understand energy infrastructure siting. This new systematic review paper critically assesses the state of current knowledge. Thanks @AdamPeacockGeog .@ExeterGeography @GSI_Exeter.

Looking forward to this webinar later this week! @_ACCESSnetwork.
✈️Many universities have declared environment and climate emergencies and have values-statements that reference ecological care. Yet shifting practices, systems and policies is challenging, as flying has become so entwined with research and education

Open access to 'best of' 25 years of excellent social science research in the Journal of Environmental Policy and Planning. Great to see our 2010 paper on 'Community Benefits and Bribes' with Gordon Walker and Noel Cass featured!.

Shame to see UK media perpetuating inaccurate and unhelpful 'NIMBY' discourse about onshore wind - journalists need to follow social science evidence and avoid outdated stereotypes

Why are there no experts from the Social Sciences or Humanities - disciplines like Political Science, Geography, Sociology, Psychology, Anthropology - on @theCCCuk? It's not like we're short of world-leading experts in those fields @lwhitmarsh @harrietbulkeley @BenjaminSovaco1.
Our annual Progress Report is out today. The country’s 2030 target is at risk. It’s not too late to get back on track but now the Government needs to take urgent action in the next year. Let’s take a closer look at the analysis ->🧵

Thrilled that 2010 paper with Noel Cass and Gordon Walker has been selected for 25th anniversary issue of Journal of Environmental Policy and Planning. "Good Neighbours, Public Relations, and Bribes: The Politics and Perceptions of Community Benefit Provision" - still relevant!.

Welcome to the @UniofExeter @GescheHuebner! Look forward to your arrival at @ECEHH and talking about collaborations with @_ACCESSnetwork.
Off to a new chapter in life - super excited to join @ECEHH as Professor of Environment & Human Health & Centre Director. And what better way to travel to Cornwall for my first day on campus than the sleeper train!!??

Thanks @SaffronJONeill - Interesting findings @mmildenberger! Could the recommendation for follow-up qual research be made more confidently? I am not sure tentative words like 'suggest' and 'may' do #socialsciences or #qualitative research much good.
Flood risk maps shown to have unintended consequence - they *reduced* concern about future SLR. "Overall, our results speak to the urgent need to empirically test all features of public climate communication campaigns". Hear hear!. @mmildenberger et al.

Wow! @JulzeAlejandre That's great to hear - glad to be of help . .
@_ACCESSnetwork @karinhelwig @SebChastin @SharonPfleger @SamCurran13 @RachelHELLIWEL9 @jude_singleton @scotgov @HydroScholars Thank you friends from #ACCESS! 💚 I should say, the research presentation we had with @PDevinewright from last year’s Summer School helped me communicate my research during the viva. 😀.

An eloquent summary of @_ACCESSnetwork mediating between sectors and disciplines - shown by the wonderful Assembly session on Trust and Democracy led by Fanis and Alice Moseley with policy contributors from @NatureScot @NatResWales @The_MMO @DevonCC.
Theofanis Exadaktylos at the University of Surrey explains how @ACCESS events help build bridges between academics & practitioners, & how by 'joining up the dots', we can better inform #climate & #environmental decision making.
