Influence of Coriolis force upon bottom boundary layers in a large‐scale gravity current experiment: Implications for evolution of sinuous deep‐water channel systems (2020)
Journal Article
Davarpanah Jazi, S., Wells, M., Peakall, J., Dorrell, R., Thomas, R., Keevil, G., Darby, S., Sommeria, J., Viboud, S., & Valran, T. (2020). Influence of Coriolis force upon bottom boundary layers in a large‐scale gravity current experiment: Implications for evolution of sinuous deep‐water channel systems. Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 125(3), https://doi.org/10.1029/2019JC015284

Oceanic density currents in many deep-water channels are strongly influenced by the Coriolis force. The dynamics of the bottom-boundary layer in large geostrophic flows, and low Rossby number turbidity currents, are very important for determining the...

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...

River bank instability from unsustainable sand mining in the lower Mekong River (2020)
Journal Article
Hackney, C. R., Darby, S., Parsons, D. R., Leyland, J., Best, J., Aalto, R., Nicholas, A., & Houseago, R. (2020). River bank instability from unsustainable sand mining in the lower Mekong River. Nature Sustainability, 3(3), 217-225. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41893-019-0455-3

Recent growth of the construction industry has fuelled demand for sand, with considerable volumes being extracted from the world’s large rivers. Sediment transport from upstream naturally replenishes sediment stored in river beds, but the absence of...

Adaptation of ecological modernisation in China : a case study of eco-transformation of industrial areas in Changsha-Zhuzhou- Xiangtan urban agglomeration (2020)
Thesis
Deng, B. Adaptation of ecological modernisation in China : a case study of eco-transformation of industrial areas in Changsha-Zhuzhou- Xiangtan urban agglomeration. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222499

Since around 2010, Chinese central and local authorities have made increasingly vigorous efforts in curbing industrial pollution. One approach has been the eco-transformation policies for industrial areas. This thesis defines the eco-transformation o...

Pulse propagation in gravity currents (2020)
Journal Article
Allen, P. A., Dorrell, R. M., Harlen, O. G., Thomas, R. E., & McCaffrey, W. D. (2020). Pulse propagation in gravity currents. Physics of Fluids, 32(1), Article 016603. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5130576

Real world gravity current flows rarely exist as a single discrete event, but are instead made up of multiple surges. This paper examines the propagation of surges as pulses in gravity currents. Using theoretical shallow-water modeling, we analyze th... Read More about Pulse propagation in gravity currents.
