Valley formation by groundwater seepage, pressurized groundwater outbursts and crater-lake overflow in flume experiments with implications for Mars (2014)
Journal Article
Marra, W. A., Braat, L., Baar, A. W., & Kleinhans, M. G. (2014). Valley formation by groundwater seepage, pressurized groundwater outbursts and crater-lake overflow in flume experiments with implications for Mars. Icarus, 232, 97-117. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2013.12.026

Remains of fluvial valleys on Mars reveal the former presence of water on the surface. However, the source of water and the hydrological setting is not always clear, especially in types of valleys that are rare on Earth and where we have limited know...

Geometrical and mechanical properties of four species of northern European brown macroalgae (2013)
Journal Article
Paul, M., Henry, P. Y. T., & Thomas, R. E. (2014). Geometrical and mechanical properties of four species of northern European brown macroalgae. Coastal Engineering, 84, 73-80. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coastaleng.2013.11.007

Aquatic vegetation interacts with the flow by posing an obstruction and in return experiences drag and is reconfigured by acting forces. It is suggested that plant buoyancy and stiffness affect these bio-physical interactions and hence should be cons...

A macroscopic forecasting framework for estimating socioeconomic and environmental performance of intelligent transport highways (2013)
Journal Article
Kolosz, B. W., Grant-Muller, S. M., & Djemame, K. (2014). A macroscopic forecasting framework for estimating socioeconomic and environmental performance of intelligent transport highways. IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, 15(2), 723-736. https://doi.org/10.1109/TITS.2013.2284638

The anticipated introduction of new forms of intelligent transport systems (ITS) represents a significant opportunity for increased cooperative mobility and sociotechnical changes within the transport system. Although such technologies are currently... Read More about A macroscopic forecasting framework for estimating socioeconomic and environmental performance of intelligent transport highways.

First direct measurements of hydraulic jumps in an active submarine density current (2013)
Journal Article
Sumner, E. J., Peakall, J., Parsons, D. R., Wynn, R. B., Darby, S. E., Dorrell, R. M., McPhail, S. D., Perrett, J., Webb, A., & White, D. (2013). First direct measurements of hydraulic jumps in an active submarine density current. Geophysical research letters, 40(22), 5904-5908. https://doi.org/10.1002/2013gl057862

For almost half a century, it has been suspected that hydraulic jumps, which consist of a sudden decrease in downstream velocity and increase in flow thickness, are an important feature of submarine density currents such as turbidity currents and deb...

Polydisperse suspensions: Erosion, deposition, and flow capacity (2013)
Journal Article
Dorrell, R. M., Hogg, A. J., & Pritchard, D. (2013). Polydisperse suspensions: Erosion, deposition, and flow capacity. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 118(3), 1939-1955. https://doi.org/10.1002/jgrf.20129

Deposition from particle-laden flows is often described in terms of the capacity and competence of the flow, but robust definitions of these terms have proved elusive. In this paper we provide a mathematical modeling framework within which erosion an... Read More about Polydisperse suspensions: Erosion, deposition, and flow capacity.

Were rivers flowing across the Sahara during the last interglacial? Implications for human migration through Africa. (2013)
Journal Article
Coulthard, T. J., Ramirez, J. A., Barton, N., Rogerson, M., & Brücher, T. (2013). Were rivers flowing across the Sahara during the last interglacial? Implications for human migration through Africa. PLoS ONE, 8(9), 0-0. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0074834

Human migration north through Africa is contentious. This paper uses a novel palaeohydrological and hydraulic modelling approach to test the hypothesis that under wetter climates c.100,000 years ago major river systems ran north across the Sahara to...

Integrating the LISFLOOD-FP 2D hydrodynamic model with the CAESAR model: implications for modelling landscape evolution (2013)
Journal Article
Coulthard, T. J., Neal, J. C., Bates, P. D., Ramirez, J., de Almeida, G. A., & Hancock, G. R. (2013). Integrating the LISFLOOD-FP 2D hydrodynamic model with the CAESAR model: implications for modelling landscape evolution. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 38(15), 1897-1906. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3478

Landscape evolution models (LEMs) simulate the geomorphic development of river basins over long time periods and large space scales (100s-1000s of years, 100s of km2). Due to these scales they have been developed with simple steady flow models that e...

The implementation of ITS to increase the efficiency of saturated highways has become increasingly prevalent. It is a high level objective for many international governments and operators that highways should be managed in a way that is both sustaina...
