There is a long history of migration among low-income families in sub-Saharan Africa, in which (usually young, often male) members leave home to seek their fortune in what are perceived to be more favourable locations. While the physical and virtual... Read More about Connecting with home, keeping in touch: Physical and virtual mobility across stretched families in sub-Saharan Africa.

Morphodynamic simulation of sediment deposition patterns on a recently stripped bedrock anastomosed channel (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Milan, D., Heritage, G., Entwistle, N., & Tooth, S. Morphodynamic simulation of sediment deposition patterns on a recently stripped bedrock anastomosed channel. Presented at IAHS Scientific Assembly 2017, Port Elizabeth, South Africa

Some mixed bedrock-alluvial dryland rivers are known to undergo cycles of alluvial building during low flow periods, punctuated by stripping events during rare high magnitude flows. We focus on the Olifants River, Kruger National Park, South Africa,... Read More about Morphodynamic simulation of sediment deposition patterns on a recently stripped bedrock anastomosed channel.
