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. J., & Szupiany, R. N. (2016). The role of discharge variability in determining alluvial stratigraphy. Geology, 44(1), 3-6. https://doi.org/10.1130/G37215.1

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...

Experimental investigation of the impact of macroalgal mats on the wave and current dynamics (2015)
Journal Article
Tambroni, N., Figueiredo da Silva, J., Duck, R., McLelland, S., Venier, C., & Lanzoni, S. (2016). Experimental investigation of the impact of macroalgal mats on the wave and current dynamics. Advances in Water Resources, 93(B), 326-335. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.advwatres.2015.09.010

Macroalgal mats of Ulva intestinalis are becoming increasingly common in many coastal and estuarine intertidal habitats, thus it is important to determine whether they increase flow resistance, promote bed stability and therefore reduce the risk of e...

Comparing smart scheme effects for congested highways (2015)
Journal Article
Kolosz, B., & Grant-Muller, S. (2015). Comparing smart scheme effects for congested highways. Transportation Research Part C: Emerging Technologies, 60, 313-323. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.trc.2015.09.004

A high level objective for many international governments and local operators is that highways should be managed in a way that is sustainable in terms of a Low Carbon Energy future. Recent initiatives such as the Strategic Transport Technology Plan a... Read More about Comparing smart scheme effects for congested highways.

Extremes in dune preservation: Controls on the completeness of fluvial deposits (2015)
Journal Article
Reesink, A., Van den Berg, J., Parsons, D., Amsler, M., Best, J., Hardy, R., Orfeo, O., & Szupiany, R. (2015). Extremes in dune preservation: Controls on the completeness of fluvial deposits. Earth-Science Reviews, 150, 652-665. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2015.09.008

Understanding sedimentary preservation underpins our ability to interpret the ancient sedimentary record and reconstruct paleoenvironments and paleoclimates. Dune sets are ubiquitous in preserved river deposits and are typically interpreted based on... Read More about Extremes in dune preservation: Controls on the completeness of fluvial deposits.

Predicting uncertainty in sediment transport and landscape evolution - the influence of initial surface conditions (2015)
Journal Article
Hancock, G. R., Coulthard, T. J., & Lowry, J. B. C. (2016). Predicting uncertainty in sediment transport and landscape evolution - the influence of initial surface conditions. Computers & geosciences, 90(B), 117-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cageo.2015.08.014

© 2015. Numerical landscape evolution models were initially developed to examine natural catchment hydrology and geomorphology and have become a common tool to examine geomorphic behaviour over a range of time and space scales. These models all use a... Read More about Predicting uncertainty in sediment transport and landscape evolution - the influence of initial surface conditions.

Groundwater seepage landscapes from distant and local sources in experiments and on Mars (2015)
Journal Article
Marra, W. A., McLelland, S. J., Parsons, D. R., Murphy, B. J., Hauber, E., & Kleinhans, M. G. (2015). Groundwater seepage landscapes from distant and local sources in experiments and on Mars. Earth surface dynamics ESURF ; an interactive open access journal of the European Geosciences Union, 3(3), 389-408. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-3-389-2015

© 2014 Author(s). Valleys with theater-shaped heads can form due to the seepage of groundwater and as a result of knickpoint (waterfall) erosion generated by overland flow. This ambiguity in the mechanism of formation hampers the interpretation of su... Read More about Groundwater seepage landscapes from distant and local sources in experiments and on Mars.
