In 2007 the city of Hull in Yorkshire, England, experienced extremely high levels of rainfall. The city is very low lying, built predominantly on drained land which relies on a pumped drainage system; as a result, the city flooded. There were a numbe...

Outcomes of river rehabilitation on instream hydraulics and fish communities (2013)
Thesis
Smith, M. A. (2013). Outcomes of river rehabilitation on instream hydraulics and fish communities. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215204

All fish species have specific habitat requirements, which differ according to life history and life stage. Where requirements are not met, or are inadequate for a particular species, the species will be locally absent or the population in poor condi...

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...

Methane Dynamics in Peat: Importance of Shallow Peats and a Novel Reduced-Complexity Approach for Modeling Ebullition (2013)
Book Chapter
Ramirez, J., Coulthard, T. J., Baird, A. J., & Waddington, J. M. (2013). Methane Dynamics in Peat: Importance of Shallow Peats and a Novel Reduced-Complexity Approach for Modeling Ebullition. In Carbon Cycling in Northern Peatlands; Geophysical Monograph Series (173-185). American Geophysical Union. https://doi.org/10.1029/2008gm000811

Northern peatlands are one of the largest natural sources of atmospheric methane (CH4), and it is important to understand the mechanisms of CH4 loss from these peatlands so that future rates of CH4 emission can be predicted. CH4 is lost to the atmosp... Read More about Methane Dynamics in Peat: Importance of Shallow Peats and a Novel Reduced-Complexity Approach for Modeling Ebullition.
