Response of river-dominated delta channel networks to permanent changes in river discharge (2010)
Journal Article
Edmonds, D., Slingerland, R., Best, J., Parsons, D., & Smith, N. (2010). Response of river-dominated delta channel networks to permanent changes in river discharge. Geophysical research letters, 37(12), 1-5. https://doi.org/10.1029/2010GL043269

Using numerical experiments, we investigate how river-dominated delta channel networks are likely to respond to changes in river discharge predicted to occur over the next century as a result of environmental change. Our results show for a change in... Read More about Response of river-dominated delta channel networks to permanent changes in river discharge.

Sedimentation of bidisperse suspensions (2010)
Journal Article

The average settling velocity of a suspension of identical particles through otherwise quiescent fluid is smaller than the settling velocity of a single particle in an unbounded fluid. When a suspension settles out to form a deposit, this hindered se... Read More about Sedimentation of bidisperse suspensions.

Self-organized criticality in river basins: challenging sedimentary records of environmental change (2010)
Journal Article

For many years researchers have linked increases in sediment and bedload from drainage basins to external factors such as increased rainfall. However, natural systems have always shown a high degree of scatter or nonlinearity in this response, which...

Experience matters: Females use smell to select experienced males for paternal care (2009)
Journal Article
Fletcher, N., Storey, E. J., Johnson, M., Reish, D. J., & Hardege, J. D. (2009). Experience matters: Females use smell to select experienced males for paternal care. PLoS ONE, 4(11), e7672. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0007672

Mate choice and mating preferences often rely on the information content of signals exchanged between potential partners. In species where a female's reproduction is the terminal event in life it is to be expected that females choose high quality mal...

Gravity wave turbulence in wave tanks: Space and time statistics (2009)
Journal Article

We present the first simultaneous space-time measurements for gravity wave turbulence in a large laboratory flume. We found that the slopes of k and ω wave spectra depend on wave intensity. This cannot be explained by any existing theory considering... Read More about Gravity wave turbulence in wave tanks: Space and time statistics.

Many upland river catchments in the UK have been historically mined for metals such as lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn), and as part of the mining process large quantities of metal contaminated sediment were released into the river system. The levels of sedim... Read More about The role of floodplains in attenuating contaminated sediment fluxes in formerly mined drainage basins.

Most teachers and students of folklore and folkloristics will have encountered the widespread and persistent belief that “folklore,” including traditional beliefs and behaviours, customs and rituals, is dying. Indeed, this is a position that has char... Read More about Change, Continuity and Contradictions in May Day Celebrations in Northamptonshire.

Causes of rapid mixing at a junction of two large rivers: Río Paraná and Río Paraguay, Argentina (2008)

Airborne and satellite observations show that when large rivers join they can take hundreds of kilometers to mix completely but, on occasion, may mix very rapidly. Application of established semitheoretical analyses shows that long mixing lengths sho...
