J., McGhee, C., Hage, S., Hasenhündl, M., & Parsons, D. R. (2024). Time-lapse surveys reveal patterns and processes of erosion by exceptionally powerful turbidity currents that flush submarine canyons: A case study of the Congo Canyon. Geomorphology, 463, Article 109350. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2024.109350

The largest canyons on Earth occur on the seafloor, and seabed sediment flows called turbidity currents play a key role in carving these submarine canyons. However, the processes by which turbidity currents erode submarine canyons are very poorly doc...

River Research and Applications, https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.4331

Recognition of the important physical and ecological roles played by large wood in channels and on floodplains has grown substantially during recent decades. Although large wood continues to be routinely removed from many river corridors worldwide, t... Read More about Working with wood in rivers in the Western United States.

Receiving Basin Substrate Controls on Delta Morphodynamics (2024)
Thesis
Johnson, J. Receiving Basin Substrate Controls on Delta Morphodynamics. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4634781

Deltas are inhabited by hundreds of millions of people and are critical for food security, coastal defence, carbon sequestration and ecological diversity. These intrinsically vulnerable systems are threatened by an array of anthropogenic pressures, s... Read More about Receiving Basin Substrate Controls on Delta Morphodynamics.

Benthic biology influences sedimentation in submarine channel bends: Coupling of biology, sedimentation and flow (2024)
Journal Article
Azpiroz-Zabala, M., Sumner, E. J., Cartigny, M. J., Peakall, J., Clare, M. A., Darby, S. E., Parsons, D. R., Dorrell, R. M., Özsoy, E., Tezcan, D., Wynn, R. B., & Johnson, J. (2024). Benthic biology influences sedimentation in submarine channel bends: Coupling of biology, sedimentation and flow. The Depositional Record, https://doi.org/10.1002/dep2.265

Submarine channels are key features for the transport of flow and nutrients into deep water. Previous studies of their morphology and channel evolution have treated these systems as abiotic, and therefore assume that physical processes are solely res...

Monopile-induced turbulence and sediment redistribution form visible wakes in offshore wind farms (2024)
Journal Article
Bailey, L. P., Dorrell, R. M., Kostakis, I., McKee, D., Parsons, D., Rees, J., Strong, J., Simmons, S., & Forster, R. (2024). Monopile-induced turbulence and sediment redistribution form visible wakes in offshore wind farms. Frontiers in Earth Science, 12, Article 1383726. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2024.1383726

Offshore wind farms are becoming an increasingly common feature in the marine environment as a renewable energy source. There is a growing body of evidence on the effects of wind farms on the seabed and its organisms. However, an important and unders...

Representing vegetation in experimental models of river systems. (2023)
Thesis
Bodewes, B. Representing vegetation in experimental models of river systems. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4443326

The physical behaviour of fluvial systems have been studied in detail and as have their representations of the impact and interaction between hydraulic and sedimentological features within these river systems. However, there is limited understanding... Read More about Representing vegetation in experimental models of river systems..

Monitoring & modelling fluvial hydrogeomorphic response to leaky wooden dams (2023)
Thesis
Wolstenholme, J. M. Monitoring & modelling fluvial hydrogeomorphic response to leaky wooden dams. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4436310

The introduction of large wood to fluvial systems is an increasingly popular method of natural flood management (NFM). Leaky dams (LDs) are designed to attenuate the hydrograph and ‘slow-the-flow’, intercepting high flows, and providing temporary sto...

The ecological fate of microplastic in the nearshore environment of South Georgia, a sub-Antarctic island (2023)
Thesis
Buckingham, J. The ecological fate of microplastic in the nearshore environment of South Georgia, a sub-Antarctic island. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4347844

Microplastic is a marine pollutant of global concern which has managed to penetrate remote regions. This thesis describes the first comprehensive assessment of microplastics in the nearshore environment of South Georgia, an island in the s...

Real-time social media sentiment analysis for rapid impact assessment of floods (2023)
Journal Article
Bryan-Smith, L., Godsall, J., George, F., Egode, K., Dethlefs, N., & Parsons, D. (2023). Real-time social media sentiment analysis for rapid impact assessment of floods. Computers & geosciences, 178, Article 105405. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cageo.2023.105405

Traditional approaches to flood modelling mostly rely on hydrodynamic physical simulations. While these simulations can be accurate, they are computationally expensive and prohibitively so when thinking about real-time prediction based on dynamic env...

Applying the ‘useable past’ to the protection of climate migrants : child displacement from Vietnam and Montserrat, 1975-2000 (2023)
Thesis
Fleury, S. Applying the ‘useable past’ to the protection of climate migrants : child displacement from Vietnam and Montserrat, 1975-2000. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4311824

This study uses an eco-global criminological approach to understanding how children may migrate in the future as a result of environmental change, including climate change, and the human rights abuses they may face without adequate protections. It an... Read More about Applying the ‘useable past’ to the protection of climate migrants : child displacement from Vietnam and Montserrat, 1975-2000.
