River dunes in unsteady conditions (2015)
Thesis
Unsworth, C. A. River dunes in unsteady conditions. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4217884

This thesis explores the nature of river dunes in unsteady conditions. River dune research has two main philosophical approaches that are necessitated by the nature of dunes; they are individually dynamic features emergent from the interaction betwee...

Simulating tidal and storm surge hydraulics with a simple 2D inertia based model, in the Humber Estuary, U.K (2015)
Journal Article
Skinner, C. J., Coulthard, T. J., Parsons, D. R., Ramirez, J. A., Mullen, L., & Manson, S. (2015). Simulating tidal and storm surge hydraulics with a simple 2D inertia based model, in the Humber Estuary, U.K. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 155(March), 126-136. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2015.01.019

The hydraulic modelling of tidal estuarine environments has been largely limited to complex 3D models that are computationally expensive. This makes them unsuitable for applications which make use of live data to make real/near time forecasts, such a...

Mapping the interactions between rivers and sand dunes: Implications for fluvial and aeolian geomorphology (2014)
Journal Article
Liu, B., & Coulthard, T. J. (2015). Mapping the interactions between rivers and sand dunes: Implications for fluvial and aeolian geomorphology. Geomorphology, 231(February), 246-257. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2014.12.011

The interaction between fluvial and aeolian processes can significantly change Earth surface morphology. When rivers and sand dunes meet, the interaction of sediment transport between the two systems can lead to change in either or both systems. Howe...

Pollination by nocturnal Lepidoptera, and the effects of light pollution: A review (2014)
Journal Article
Macgregor, C. J., Pocock, M. J. O., Fox, R., & Evans, D. M. (2015). Pollination by nocturnal Lepidoptera, and the effects of light pollution: A review. Ecological entomology, 40(3), 187-198. https://doi.org/10.1111/een.12174

1. Moths (Lepidoptera) are the major nocturnal pollinators of flowers. However, their importance and contribution to the provision of pollination ecosystem services may have been under-appreciated. Evidence was identified that moths are important pol... Read More about Pollination by nocturnal Lepidoptera, and the effects of light pollution: A review.

Pressurized groundwater outflow experiments and numerical modeling for outflow channels on Mars (2014)
Journal Article

This paper presents research findings concerning women's involvement in the initiatives and schemes in Greece whose members transact among themselves without the use of the official currency — in this case, the euro. In many cases women have founded... Read More about Women in alternative economy, or What do women do without official currency?.

A spatio-temporal hybrid neural network-Kriging model for groundwater level simulation (2014)
Journal Article
