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 risk of flooding around the world is large and increasing, yet in many areas there is still a difficulty in engaging the public with their own flood risk. Geomorphology is a science that is linked to flooding and can exacerbate risks, but awarene...

Temperature effects on the spatial structure of heavy rainfall modify catchment hydro-morphological response (2020)
Journal Article
Peleg, N., Skinner, C., Fatichi, S., & Molnar, P. (2020). Temperature effects on the spatial structure of heavy rainfall modify catchment hydro-morphological response. Earth surface dynamics European Geosciences Union, 8(1), 17-36. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-8-17-2020

Heavy rainfall is expected to intensify with increasing temperatures, which will likely affect rainfall spatial characteristics. The spatial variability of rainfall can affect streamflow and sediment transport volumes and peaks. Yet, the effect of cl...

From the wilderness of Hyrule, the continent of Tamriel, and the geographies of Middle Earth, players of video games are exposed to wondrous, fantastic, but ultimately fake, landscapes. Given the time people may spend in these worlds compared to the...

Global sensitivity analysis of parameter uncertainty in landscape evolution models (2018)
Journal Article

© Author(s) 2016. Climate is one of the main drivers for landscape evolution models (LEMs), yet its representation is often basic with values averaged over long time periods and frequently lumped to the same value for the whole basin. Clearly, this h... Read More about The sensitivity of landscape evolution models to spatial and temporal rainfall resolution.
