Bedform genesis in bedrock substrates: Insights into formative processes from a new experimental approach and the importance of suspension-dominated abrasion (2015)
Journal Article
Yin, D., Peakall, J., Parsons, D., Chen, Z., Averill, H. M., Wignall, P., & Best, J. (2016). Bedform genesis in bedrock substrates: Insights into formative processes from a new experimental approach and the importance of suspension-dominated abrasion. Geomorphology, 255, 26-38. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2015.12.008

© 2015 Elsevier B.V. Bedrock channels are common in the natural environment, and bedrock channel erosion sets the pace of denudation in many river catchments. However, in comparison to the large number of studies concerning the formation of alluvial...

Modulation of outer bank erosion by slump blocks: disentangling the protective and destructive role of failed material on the three-dimensional flow structure (2015)
Journal Article
Hackney, C., Best, J., Leyland, J., Darby, S. E., Parsons, D., Aalto, R., & Nicholas, A. (2015). Modulation of outer bank erosion by slump blocks: disentangling the protective and destructive role of failed material on the three-dimensional flow structure. Geophysical research letters, 42(24), 10663-10670. https://doi.org/10.1002/2015GL066481

The three-dimensional flow field near the banks of alluvial channels is the primary factor controlling rates of bank erosion. Although submerged slump blocks and associated large-scale bank roughness elements have both previously been proposed to div...

The role of discharge variability in determining alluvial stratigraphy (2015)
Journal Article
Nicholas, A. P., Sambrook Smith, G. H., Amsler, M. L., Ashworth, P. J., Best, J. L., Hardy, R. J., Lane, S. N., Orfeo, O., Parsons, D. R., Reesink, A. J., Sandbach, S. D., Simpson, C.

We illustrate the potential for using physics-based modeling to link alluvial stratigraphy to large river morphology and dynamics. Model simulations, validated using ground penetrating radar data from the Río Paraná, Argentina, demonstrate a strong r...
