Book Chapter
Chandler, M., See, L., Andrianandrasana, H., Becker, D., Berardi, A., Bodmer, R., …Williams, J. N. (2016). The value and opportunites of community-and citizen-based approaches to tropical forest biodiversity monitoring. In M. Gill, R. Jongman, S. Luque,

Introduction - Earth Observation (EO) refers to the direct and indirect measurement of the Earth’s surface that can be undertaken using satellites, aircraft, on the ground and underwater using active and passive sensors (O’Connor et al., 2015). EO pr... Read More about The value and opportunites of community-and citizen-based approaches to tropical forest biodiversity monitoring.

Evaluating, predicting and mapping belowground carbon stores in Kenyan mangroves (2016)
Journal Article
Gress, S. K., Huxham, M., Kairo, J. G., Mugi, L. M., & Briers, R. A. (2017). Evaluating, predicting and mapping belowground carbon stores in Kenyan mangroves. Global Change Biology, 23(1), 224-234. https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.13438

Despite covering only approximately 138,000 km2, mangroves are globally important carbon sinks with carbon density values 3 to 4 times that of terrestrial forests. A key challenge in evaluating the carbon benefits from mangrove forest conservation is... Read More about Evaluating, predicting and mapping belowground carbon stores in Kenyan mangroves.

Valuing Ecosystems as an Economic Part of Climate-Compatible Development Infrastructure in Coastal Zones of Kenya & Sri Lanka (2016)
Book Chapter
Emerton, L., Huxham, M., Bournazel, J., & Kumara, M. P. (2016). Valuing Ecosystems as an Economic Part of Climate-Compatible Development Infrastructure in Coastal Zones of Kenya & Sri Lanka. In Ecosystem-Based Disaster Risk Reduction and Adaptation in Pr

Even though ‘green’ options for addressing the impacts of climate change have gained in currency over recent years, they are yet to be fully mainstreamed into development policy and practice. One important reason is the lack of economic evidence as...

‘Observation has set in’: comparing students and peers as reviewers of teaching (2016)
Journal Article
Huxham, M., Scoles, J., Green, U., Purves, S., Welsh, Z., & Gray, A. (2017). ‘Observation has set in’: comparing students and peers as reviewers of teaching. Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education, 42(6), 887-899. https://doi.org/10.1080/026029

Peer review is a powerful method to enhance teaching in higher education. Peers, however, may not be the most relevant people in evaluating teaching success; as the most important stakeholders in learning, students’ evaluations need to be heard. Whil...

Biomass and productivity of seagrasses in Africa (2016)
Journal Article
Githaiga, M. N., Gilpin, L., Kairo, J. G., & Huxham, M. (2016). Biomass and productivity of seagrasses in Africa. Botanica Marina, 59(2-3), 173-186. https://doi.org/10.1515/bot-2015-0075

There is growing interest in carbon stocks and flows in seagrass ecosystems, but recent global reviews suggest a paucity of studies from Africa. This paper reviews work on seagrass productivity, biomass and sediment carbon in Africa. Most work was co... Read More about Biomass and productivity of seagrasses in Africa.
