Hi Dave Here is a link to the article you are talking about. The author is Monica Stephens. It may be tricky to access if you're not affiliated to an institution that subscribes to the journal. However, you should be able access the abstract. I haven't seen her presenting this work but with the info from the link you may be able to find something.
