Journal Article
Malarkey, J., Baas, J. H., Hope, J. A., Aspden, R. J., Parsons, D. R., Peakall, J., Paterson, D. M., Schindler, R. J., Ye, L., Lichtman, I. D., Bass, S. J., Davies, A. G., Manning, A. J., & Thorne, P. D. (2015). The pervasive role of biological cohesion in bedform development. Nature communications, 6(1), Article ARTN 6257. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms7257

Sediment fluxes in aquatic environments are crucially dependent on bedform dynamics. However, sediment-flux predictions rely almost completely on clean-sand studies, despite most environments being composed of mixtures of non-cohesive sands, physical...

In search of ‘lost’ knowledge and outsourced expertise in flood risk management (2015)
Journal Article
Haughton, G., Bankoff, G., & Coulthard, T. J. (2015). In search of ‘lost’ knowledge and outsourced expertise in flood risk management. Transactions - Institute of British Geographers, 40(3), 375-386. https://doi.org/10.1111/tran.12082

This paper examines the parallel discourses of ‘lost’ local flood expertise and the growing use of commercial consultancies to outsource aspects of flood risk work. We critically examine the various claims and counter-claims about lost, local and ext... Read More about In search of ‘lost’ knowledge and outsourced expertise in flood risk management.

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.

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
