A vibrating cantilever footfall energy harvesting device (2014)
Journal Article
Gilbert, J. M., & Balouchi, F. (2014). A vibrating cantilever footfall energy harvesting device. Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures, 25(14), 1738-1745. https://doi.org/10.1177/1045389X14521880

Human footfall is an attractive source of energy for harvesting for low-power applications. However, the nature of footfall is poorly matched to electromagnetic generators. Footfall motion is characterised by high forces and low speeds, while electro... Read More about A vibrating cantilever footfall energy harvesting device.

Submarine channel systems transport vast amounts of terrestrial sediment into the deep sea. Understanding the dynamics of the gravity currents that create these systems, and in particular, how these flows interact with and form bends, is fundamental...

Valley formation by groundwater seepage, pressurized groundwater outbursts and crater-lake overflow in flume experiments with implications for Mars (2014)
Journal Article
Marra, W. A., Braat, L., Baar, A. W., & Kleinhans, M. G. (2014). Valley formation by groundwater seepage, pressurized groundwater outbursts and crater-lake overflow in flume experiments with implications for Mars. Icarus, 232, 97-117. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2013.12.026

Remains of fluvial valleys on Mars reveal the former presence of water on the surface. However, the source of water and the hydrological setting is not always clear, especially in types of valleys that are rare on Earth and where we have limited know...

Geometrical and mechanical properties of four species of northern European brown macroalgae (2013)
Journal Article
Paul, M., Henry, P. Y. T., & Thomas, R. E. (2014). Geometrical and mechanical properties of four species of northern European brown macroalgae. Coastal Engineering, 84, 73-80. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2013.11.007

Aquatic vegetation interacts with the flow by posing an obstruction and in return experiences drag and is reconfigured by acting forces. It is suggested that plant buoyancy and stiffness affect these bio-physical interactions and hence should be cons...

A macroscopic forecasting framework for estimating socioeconomic and environmental performance of intelligent transport highways (2013)
Journal Article
Kolosz, B. W., Grant-Muller, S. M., & Djemame, K. (2014). A macroscopic forecasting framework for estimating socioeconomic and environmental performance of intelligent transport highways. IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 15(2), 723-736. https://doi.org/10.1109/TITS.2013.2284638

The anticipated introduction of new forms of intelligent transport systems (ITS) represents a significant opportunity for increased cooperative mobility and sociotechnical changes within the transport system. Although such technologies are currently... Read More about A macroscopic forecasting framework for estimating socioeconomic and environmental performance of intelligent transport highways.

Rethinking the spaces and institutions of flood governance (2013)
Thesis
Rogers-Wright, A. Rethinking the spaces and institutions of flood governance. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215549

In 2007 the city of Hull in Yorkshire, England, experienced extremely high levels of rainfall. The city is very low lying, built predominantly on drained land which relies on a pumped drainage system; as a result, the city flooded. There were a numbe...

Outcomes of river rehabilitation on instream hydraulics and fish communities (2013)
Thesis
Smith, M. A. Outcomes of river rehabilitation on instream hydraulics and fish communities. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215204

All fish species have specific habitat requirements, which differ according to life history and life stage. Where requirements are not met, or are inadequate for a particular species, the species will be locally absent or the population in poor condi...

The influence of earth surface movements and human activities on the river Karun in lowland south-west Iran (2013)
Thesis
Woodbridge, K. P. The influence of earth surface movements and human activities on the river Karun in lowland south-west Iran. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215645

Earth surface movements are a primary external control on river system dynamics and evolution. It has often been observed that when responding to Earth surface motion driven by surface expression of folds, major rivers incise across young, active fol...
