Turbulence modulation in non-uniform and unsteady clay suspension flows (2022)
Thesis
de Vet, M. Turbulence modulation in non-uniform and unsteady clay suspension flows. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4240676

Cohesive sediment is common within natural environments, such as rivers, estuaries, shallow seas and deep oceans. High-magnitude, low-frequency events, such as storms, floods, and post-wildfire erosion, which occur more often due to climate change, c...

On the transport mechanisms, ecological interactions and fate of microplastics in aquatic environments (2022)
Thesis
Mendrik, F. On the transport mechanisms, ecological interactions and fate of microplastics in aquatic environments. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4224632

Microplastics are now persistent throughout aquatic systems globally and can cause a range of ecological damage. The transport of microplastics is influenced by the polymer type, in addition to physical, biological, and chemical gradients plastic par...

Pyroclastic Density Currents (PDCs) are deadly volcanic phenomena which pose an active risk to millions of people. Particularly dangerous due to their great unpredictability, despite decades of study the internal physics of PDCs are still poorly unde...

The molecular basis of circadian and seasonal rhythms in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis (2019)
Thesis
Chapman, E. C. (2019). The molecular basis of circadian and seasonal rhythms in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222565

Exposure to regular environmental oscillations such as day/night have allowed organisms to evolve biological mechanisms to adaptively anticipate and prepare for rhythmic environmental change. A network of gene-protein interactions between clock genes... Read More about The molecular basis of circadian and seasonal rhythms in the blue mussel Mytilus edulis.

Characterising the drivers of tropical freshwater fish dynamics and abundance in the Mekong river, under environmental change (2019)
Thesis

The Mekong river’s monsoon driven annual flood pulse creates a range of diverse habitats, with high levels of connectivity and primary productivity that support and trigger fish migratory dynamics and abundance. This abundance is reflected in the fac... Read More about Characterising the drivers of tropical freshwater fish dynamics and abundance in the Mekong river, under environmental change.

Modelling the morphodynamics of sandy coastal systems under a changing climate (2019)
Thesis
Morris, C. S. (2019). Modelling the morphodynamics of sandy coastal systems under a changing climate. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222460

Coasts are vulnerable to changing environmental conditions and are likely to be affected by predicted sea level rise and wave climate variations over the next century. Predicting the likely response of coastal systems to these changes, including alte... Read More about Modelling the morphodynamics of sandy coastal systems under a changing climate.

Dune dynamics under unsteady flows (2019)
Thesis
Hu, H. (2019). Dune dynamics under unsteady flows. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4221728

River bedforms keep translating and deforming perpetually during their migration. During flow field unsteadiness they also change in size and shape over time and in space. However, our knowledge of how bedforms adapt to changing flows remains inadequ... Read More about Dune dynamics under unsteady flows.

Wake hydrodynamics downstream from a horizontal axis turbine under current flow and waves (2018)
Thesis

A complex transitional zone within river-estuary systems exists between fully-fluvial and fully-tidal conditions. This zone varies both spatially and temporally across a range of scales. The resultant sedimentary transport and depositional characteri... Read More about Barscale morphodynamics through the tidal-fluvial transition.
