	A total of 19 (17 PhD and 2 MSc) theses were identified as relevant to the ~~UKgravelbarriers~~ project, but only nine of these met the REA criteria: 14 were accepted by the LLM for text screening but one was embargoed until late 2025, one was on the Canadian Arctic i.e. not UK based, and out of these just nine were based on field studies. The map below shows the distribution and locations of these nine.

	The grey literature, including PhD theses and reports, was primarily sourced using resources available to the project, such as the BGS website and archive, as well as the websites of Steering Group members (Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science, Kenneth Pye Associates, Moffat & Nichol, ARGANS Ltd, and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. Additionally, we used Google Scholar and insights from the Steering Group to complete our search. As with peer-reviewed papers, the geographical scope was limited to the UK.

			===== Reports =====

			Across the UK, approximately 46 reports were identified and included in the literature review. However, 6 reports were unavailable for download, 5 were only available as hard copies, and 3 were too large for LLM screening. As a result, only 32 reports were ultimately considered and screened to address the different research questions.
