Flash Flood!: A SeriousGeoGames activity combining science festivals, video games, and virtual reality with research data for communicating flood risk and geomorphology (2020)
Journal Article
Skinner, C. (2020). Flash Flood!: A SeriousGeoGames activity combining science festivals, video games, and virtual reality with research data for communicating flood risk and geomorphology. Geoscience Communication, 3(1), 1-17. https://doi.org/10.5194/gc-3-1-2020

The risk of flooding around the world is large and increasing, yet in many areas there is still a difficulty in engaging the public with their own flood risk. Geomorphology is a science that is linked to flooding and can exacerbate risks, but awarene...

Temperature effects on the spatial structure of heavy rainfall modify catchment hydro-morphological response (2020)
Journal Article
Peleg, N., Skinner, C., Fatichi, S., & Molnar, P. (2020). Temperature effects on the spatial structure of heavy rainfall modify catchment hydro-morphological response. Earth surface dynamics European Geosciences Union, 8(1), 17-36. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-8-17-2020

Heavy rainfall is expected to intensify with increasing temperatures, which will likely affect rainfall spatial characteristics. The spatial variability of rainfall can affect streamflow and sediment transport volumes and peaks. Yet, the effect of cl...

River bank instability from unsustainable sand mining in the lower Mekong River (2020)
Journal Article
Hackney, C. R., Darby, S., Parsons, D. R., Leyland, J., Best, J., Aalto, R., Nicholas, A., & Houseago, R. (2020). River bank instability from unsustainable sand mining in the lower Mekong River. Nature Sustainability, 3(3), 217-225. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-019-0455-3

Recent growth of the construction industry has fuelled demand for sand, with considerable volumes being extracted from the world’s large rivers. Sediment transport from upstream naturally replenishes sediment stored in river beds, but the absence of...
