The concepts and visions of sustainable development that have emerged in the post-Brundtland era are explored in terms laying the foundations for a common vision of sustainable urban development (SUD). The described vision and methodology for SUD res... Read More about A vision and methodology for integrated sustainable urban development: BEQUEST.

Dense aggregations of tube-building polychaetes: response to small-scale disturbances. (2002)
Journal Article

Many species of tube-building polychaetes form dense aggregations or ‘patches’ within marine soft-bottom habitats. Although the ecological importance of such patches has been well studied, the effect of small-scale disturbances within patches has not...
