Geophysical investigations in the English Lake District
Lake District which define the principal anomalies in considerably more detail than previous widely-spaced observations. The physical properties of the Shap and Skiddaw granites have been analysed from geophysical logs recorded in 300 m deep heat-flow boreholes. New density determinations have been …

Investigating route-choice by recreational walkers in the English Lake District
… extensive survey questionnaire of walkers in the English Lake District (n=518). The study was framed by a grounded theory approach. This research design methodology reflects the exploratory nature of the study. Additionally it addresses the fact that the UK walking market is at present, supplied …

A study of nitrification in lakes of the English Lake District
… dominant nitrogen transformation in a number of lakes which accumulated ammonium, in hypolimnetic water, under aerobic conditions. The timing and duration of this activity varied between lakes but was characterized by decreasing ammonium, and increasing nitrate, concentrations. In Grasmere lake …

Reconstructing Loch Lomond Stadial Glaciers and Climate in the south-west English Lake District
The most recent glaciation of the English Lake District occurred during the Loch Lomond Stadial (Younger Dryas) when full glacial conditions returned to the British Isles. The largest ice mass formed over the Western Scottish Highlands with smaller ice masses developing throughout the British …

Lake remediation by top-down and bottom-up management : an ecosystem-scale experiment in the English Lake District
Lake ecosystems face a variety of pressures arising from catchment-based anthropogenic activities and long-term changes in background environmental conditions, which greatly threaten their structure, function and the sustainable provision of essential ecosystem services. The response of lakes to …

Palaeoecology of human impact in northwest England during the early medieval period: investigating ‘cultural decline’ in the Dark Ages
… and diatom records from six tarns within the English Lake District. Of the sites investigated, both Loughrigg and Barfield Tarns produced good records for the study period. The pollen curves for Loughrigg Tarn appear to support the traditional interpretation of woodland regeneration in the …

The Impact of Climate Change upon the Snowmelt Hydrology of an Upland UK Catchment
… hydrology of the Dacre Beck catchment in the English Lake District. A distributed snowmelt model was created which spatialised temperature and precipitation data across the catchment. The model accumulated snow when the temperature fell below 0°C and applied one of three temperature-index …

Ecology of Lake District ostracoda
… since their calcified valves may be preserved in lake sediments, are also valuable in palaeolimnological studies of environmental pollution such as eutrophication and surface water acidification. To establish a data-base of ostracod ecology, biannual survey work in 1989-1990 was performed in 75 …
