Shear-derived mixing in dense granular flows (2011)
Journal Article
Rowley, P. J., Kokelaar, P., Menzies, M., & Waltham, D. (2011). Shear-derived mixing in dense granular flows. Journal of Sedimentary Research, 81(12), 874-884. https://doi.org/10.2110/jsr.2011.72

In flume experiments, granular avalanches run onto loose substrates develop 3-D architectures that record shear-derived mixing between the flow and the substrate. Spherical silica beads 0.250 mm diameter are run onto stratified substrates of various... Read More about Shear-derived mixing in dense granular flows.

Mica-controlled anisotropy within mid-to-upper crustal mylonites: an EBSD study of mica fabrics in the Alpine Fault Zone, New Zealand (2011)
Journal Article
Dempsey, E. D., Prior, D. J., Mariani, E., Toy, V. G., & Tatham, D. J. (2011). Mica-controlled anisotropy within mid-to-upper crustal mylonites: an EBSD study of mica fabrics in the Alpine Fault Zone, New Zealand. Geological Society Special Publications, 360(1), 33-47. https://doi.org/10.1144/SP360.3

The lattice preferred orientation (LPO) of both muscovite and biotite were measured by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and these data, together with the LPOs of the other main constituent minerals, were used to produce models of the seismic v...

Climate model predictions for the latest Cretaceous: An evaluation using climatically sensitive sediments as proxy indicators (2011)
Journal Article
Craggs, H. J., Valdes, P. J., & Widdowson, M. (2012). Climate model predictions for the latest Cretaceous: An evaluation using climatically sensitive sediments as proxy indicators. Palaeogeography, palaeoclimatology, palaeoecology, 315-316, 12-23. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.palaeo.2011.11.004

To date, many general circulation model (GCM) experiments have failed to reproduce the warm, high latitude temperatures suggested for the Cretaceous by geological proxy climate indicators, especially for the Northern Hemisphere and within continental...
