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...

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...

Tsunami Risk to UK Offshore Wind: Paleo-evidence and numerical model simulation (2025)
Thesis
Pickett, B. (2025). Tsunami Risk to UK Offshore Wind: Paleo-evidence and numerical model simulation. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5126372

The UK produces over 45% of its energy through renewable means, the majority of this through wind power. The mainstay of this capacity is located offshore in the North Sea, a region and capacity which is set to significantly expand in the coming year...

The transport and vertical distribution of microplastics in the Mekong River, SE Asia (2024)
Journal Article
Mendrik, F., Hackney, C. R., Cumming, V. M., Waller, C., Hak, D., Dorrell, R., Hung, N. N., & Parsons, D. R. (2025).
