Characteristics of direct human impacts on the rivers Karun and Dez in lowland south-west Iran and their interactions with earth surface movements (2015)
Journal Article
Woodbridge, K. P., Heyvaert, V. M., Frostick, L. E., Parsons, D. R., Woodbridge, K., Heyvaert, V. M. A., & Walstra, J. (2016). Characteristics of direct human impacts on the rivers Karun and Dez in lowland south-west Iran and their interactions with earth surface movements. Quaternary International, 392, 315-334 . https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2015.10.088

Two of the primary external factors influencing the variability of major river systems, over river reach scales, are human activities and tectonics. Based on the rivers Karun and Dez in south-west Iran, this paper presents an analysis of the geomorph...

© 2014, Springer-Verlag Wien. Numerical weather modelling has gained considerable attention in the field of hydrology especially in un-gauged catchments and in conjunction with distributed models. As a consequence, the accuracy with which these model... Read More about WRF model sensitivity to choice of parameterization: a study of the 'York Flood 1999'.

Leaching characteristics of CCA-treated wood waste: A UK study (2012)
Journal Article
Mercer, T. G., & Frostick, L. E. (2012). Leaching characteristics of CCA-treated wood waste: A UK study. The Science of the total environment, 427-428, 165-174. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2012.04.008

CCA-treated wood is expected to increase in the UK waste stream over the next 20-50years. The potential pollution from this waste has been evaluated through two leaching studies, one based upon batch leaching tests and another based upon a series of...

Grain size and topographical differences between static and mobile armour layers (2011)
Journal Article
Mao, L., Cooper, J. R., & Frostick, L. E. (2011). Grain size and topographical differences between static and mobile armour layers. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 36(10), 1321-1334. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.2156

A series of laboratory flume experiments under conditions of sediment starvation (zero sediment feeding) and recirculation were conducted in order to identify the temporal evolution and surface properties of static and mobile armour layers. The exper... Read More about Grain size and topographical differences between static and mobile armour layers.

Inferring bedload transport from stratigraphic successions: Examples from Cenozoic and Pleistocene rivers, south central Pyrenees, Spain (2008)
Journal Article
Jones, S. J., & Frostick, L. E. (2008). Inferring bedload transport from stratigraphic successions: Examples from Cenozoic and Pleistocene rivers, south central Pyrenees, Spain. Geological Society Special Publications, 296(1), 129-145. https://doi.org/10.1144/SP296.9

Geologists and geomorphologists have long been concerned with rates of sediment transfer as bedload in gravel-bed rivers, especially as rates of sediment transfer are important factors controlling river aggradation and incision. Bedload transport equ... Read More about Inferring bedload transport from stratigraphic successions: Examples from Cenozoic and Pleistocene rivers, south central Pyrenees, Spain.
