Governing flood risk in mid seventeenth-century England (2025)
Journal Article
McDonagh, B., Worthen, H., & Mottram, S. (2025). Governing flood risk in mid seventeenth-century England. Journal of Historical Geography, 89, 13-26. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhg.2024.12.001

The paper explores how early modern people lived with and responded to extraordinary flood events at a time of environmental, social and political crisis. By focusing on a period when flood risk management ‘failed’ and houses, land and businesses sat... Read More about Governing flood risk in mid seventeenth-century England.

Behaviours of pyroclastic and analogue materials, in dry and wet environments, for use in experimental modelling of pyroclastic density currents (2025)
Journal Article
Walding, N., Williams, R., Rowley, P., Dowey, N., Parsons, D., & Bird, A. (2025). Behaviours of pyroclastic and analogue materials, in dry and wet environments, for use in experimental modelling of pyroclastic density currents. Volcanica, 8(1), 261-285. https://doi.org/10.30909/vol/oxkm9163

Modelling pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) is a challenging yet essential element of hazard assessment. PDCs are unpredictable and internal processes are often difficult to measure directly. Analogue experiments have been an important tool for inv...

Global River Topology (GRIT): A Bifurcating River Hydrography (2025)
Journal Article
Wortmann, M., Slater, L., Hawker, L., Liu, Y., Neal, J., Zhang, B., Schwenk, J., Allen, G., Ashworth, P., Boothroyd, R., Cloke, H., Delorme, P., Gebrechorkos, S. H., Griffith, H., Leyland, J., McLelland, S., Nicholas, A. P., Sambrook-Smith, G., Vahidi, E., Parsons, D., & Darby, S. E. (2025). Global River Topology (GRIT): A Bifurcating River Hydrography. Water Resources Research, 61(5), Article e2024WR038308. https://doi.org/10.1029/2024WR038308

Existing global river networks underpin a wide range of hydrological applications but do not represent channels with divergent river flows (bifurcations, multi-threaded channels, canals), as these features defy the convergent flow assumption that ele...

The impacts of human-made structures on larval connectivity in the northern North Sea (2025)
Journal Article
Barton, B. I., De Dominicis, M., Woolf, D. K., Want, A., & Bell, M. C. (in press). The impacts of human-made structures on larval connectivity in the northern North Sea. Communications Earth & Environment, 6, Article 377. https://doi.org/10.1038/s43247-025-02346-6

North Sea human-made, offshore structures (e.g. oil/gas platforms, offshore wind farms) provide a hard substrate habitat for benthic marine species which can spread between sites during their larval stage. Here, we aim to address how the installation... Read More about The impacts of human-made structures on larval connectivity in the northern North Sea.

The influence of moisture on ash strength: implications for understanding volcanic stratigraphy (2025)
Journal Article
Walding, N., Williams, R., Dowey, N., Rowley, P., Thomas, M., Osman, S., Johnson, M., & Parsons, D. R. (2025). The influence of moisture on ash strength: implications for understanding volcanic stratigraphy. Bulletin of volcanology, 87(6), Article 39. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00445-025-01821-4

Ash layers within extensive pyroclastic density current (PDC) deposits can be important in understanding the evolution of explosive eruptions. If interpreted as ashfall deposits, they may be used to identify hiatus episodes and determine how many pyr...
