Journal Article
Hackney, C. R., Vasilopoulos, G., Heng, S., Darbari, V., Walker, S., & Parsons, D. R. (2021). Sand mining far outpaces natural supply in a large alluvial river. Earth surface dynamics European Geosciences Union, 9(5), 1323-1334. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-9-1323-2021

The world's large rivers are facing reduced sediment loads due to anthropogenic activities such as hydropower development and sediment extraction. Globally, estimates of sand extraction from large river systems are lacking, in part due to the pervasi... Read More about Sand mining far outpaces natural supply in a large alluvial river.

Propagation effects in the interstellar medium and intrinsic profile changes can cause variability in the timing of pulsars, which limits the accuracy of fundamental science done via pulsar timing. One of the best timing pulsars, PSR J1713+0747, has... Read More about Profile changes associated with dispersion measure events in PSR J1713+0747.

Yet, detailed process-based studies of SWI at the... Read More about Dynamics of salt intrusion in the Mekong Delta: Results of field observations and integrated coastal-inland modelling.

A multi-approach and multi-scale platform to model CD4+ T cells responding to infections (2021)
Journal Article
Wertheim, K. Y., Puniya, B. L., La Fleur, A., Shah, A. R., Barberis, M., & Helikar, T. (2021). A multi-approach and multi-scale platform to model CD4+ T cells responding to infections. PLoS Computational Biology, 17(8), Article e1009209. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009209

Immune responses rely on a complex adaptive system in which the body and infections interact at multiple scales and in different compartments. We developed a modular model of CD4+ T cells, which uses four modeling approaches to integrate processes at...
