Time-lapse surveys reveal patterns and processes of erosion by exceptionally powerful turbidity currents that flush submarine canyons: A case study of the Congo Canyon (2024)
Journal Article
Ruffell, S. C., Talling, P. J., Baker, M. L., Pope, E. L., Heijnen, M. S., Jacinto, R. S., Cartigny, M. J., Simmons, S. M., Clare, M. A., Heerema, C. J., McGhee, C., Hage, S., Hasenhündl, M., & Parsons, D. R. (2024). Time-lapse surveys reveal patterns and processes of erosion by exceptionally powerful turbidity currents that flush submarine canyons: A case study of the Congo Canyon. Geomorphology, 463, Article 109350. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2024.109350

The largest canyons on Earth occur on the seafloor, and seabed sediment flows called turbidity currents play a key role in carving these submarine canyons. However, the processes by which turbidity currents erode submarine canyons are very poorly doc...

Working with wood in rivers in the Western United States (2024)
Journal Article
Ockelford, A., Wohl, E., Ruiz-Villanueva, V., Comiti, F., Piégay, H., Darby, S., …Aarnink, J. (2024). Working with wood in rivers in the Western United States. River Research and Applications, https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.4331

Recognition of the important physical and ecological roles played by large wood in channels and on floodplains has grown substantially during recent decades. Although large wood continues to be routinely removed from many river corridors worldwide, t... Read More about Working with wood in rivers in the Western United States.

Receiving Basin Substrate Controls on Delta Morphodynamics (2024)
Thesis
Johnson, J. Receiving Basin Substrate Controls on Delta Morphodynamics. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4634781

Deltas are inhabited by hundreds of millions of people and are critical for food security, coastal defence, carbon sequestration and ecological diversity. These intrinsically vulnerable systems are threatened by an array of anthropogenic pressures, s... Read More about Receiving Basin Substrate Controls on Delta Morphodynamics.

Bottom and Suspended Sediment Backscatter Measurements in a Flume—Towards Quantitative Bed and Water Column Properties (2024)
Journal Article
Van Dijk, T. A., Roche, M., Lurton, X., Fezzani, R., Simmons, S. M., Gastauer, S., …Parsons, D. R. (2024). Bottom and Suspended Sediment Backscatter Measurements in a Flume—Towards Quantitative Bed and Water Column Properties. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 12(4), Article 609. https://doi.org/10.3390/jmse12040609

For health and impact studies of water systems, monitoring underwater environments is essential, for which multi-frequency single- and multibeam echosounders are commonly used state-of-the-art technologies. However, the current scarcity of sediment r... Read More about Bottom and Suspended Sediment Backscatter Measurements in a Flume—Towards Quantitative Bed and Water Column Properties.

Benthic biology influences sedimentation in submarine channel bends: Coupling of biology, sedimentation and flow (2024)
Journal Article
Azpiroz-Zabala, M., Sumner, E. J., Cartigny, M. J., Peakall, J., Clare, M. A., Darby, S. E., …Johnson, J. (2024). Benthic biology influences sedimentation in submarine channel bends: Coupling of biology, sedimentation and flow. The Depositional Record, https://doi.org/10.1002/dep2.265

Submarine channels are key features for the transport of flow and nutrients into deep water. Previous studies of their morphology and channel evolution have treated these systems as abiotic, and therefore assume that physical processes are solely res...

Monopile-induced turbulence and sediment redistribution form visible wakes in offshore wind farms (2024)
Journal Article
Bailey, L. P., Dorrell, R. M., Kostakis, I., McKee, D., Parsons, D., Rees, J., Strong, J., Simmons, S., & Forster, R. (2024). Monopile-induced turbulence and sediment redistribution form visible wakes in offshore wind farms. Frontiers in Earth Science, 12, Article 1383726. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2024.1383726

Offshore wind farms are becoming an increasingly common feature in the marine environment as a renewable energy source. There is a growing body of evidence on the effects of wind farms on the seabed and its organisms. However, an important and unders...
