Journal Article
Ockelford, A., Wohl, E., Ruiz-Villanueva, V., Comiti, F., Piégay, H., Darby, S., Parsons, D., Yochum, S. E., Wolstenholme, J., White, D., Uno, H., Triantafillou, S., Stroth, T., Smrdel, T., Scott, D. N., Scamardo, J. E., Rees, J., Rathburn, S., Morrison, R. R., Milan, D., …Aarnink, J. (2024). Working with wood in rivers in the Western United States. River Research and Applications, https://doi.org/10.1002/rra.4331

Recognition of the important physical and ecological roles played by large wood in channels and on floodplains has grown substantially during recent decades. Although large wood continues to be routinely removed from many river corridors worldwide, t... Read More about Working with wood in rivers in the Western United States.

Reimaging activism to save the planet: Using transdisciplinary and participatory methodologies to support collective youth action (2023)
Journal Article
Jones, L., Parsons, K. J., Halstead, F., & Wolstenholme, J. M. (2023). Reimaging activism to save the planet: Using transdisciplinary and participatory methodologies to support collective youth action. Children & society, https://doi.org/10.1111/chso.12819

This article offers new insights into the important role that transdisciplinary, participatory action research approaches offer young people as a safe space to ‘act’ on climate change and environmental degradation. Drawing upon methodological meta-re... Read More about Reimaging activism to save the planet: Using transdisciplinary and participatory methodologies to support collective youth action.

Monitoring & modelling fluvial hydrogeomorphic response to leaky wooden dams (2023)
Thesis
Wolstenholme, J. M. Monitoring & modelling fluvial hydrogeomorphic response to leaky wooden dams. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4436310

The introduction of large wood to fluvial systems is an increasingly popular method of natural flood management (NFM). Leaky dams (LDs) are designed to attenuate the hydrograph and ‘slow-the-flow’, intercepting high flows, and providing temporary sto...

The 360 Lab (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wolstenholme, J., & Skinner, C. (2021, April). The 360 Lab. Presented at EGU General Assembly 2021 (European Geosciences Union), vEGU21: Gather Online

Flooding is a major risk to lives and properties globally and this risk is increasing because of several factors, not least the increase of sea level and changes to patterns of precipitation due to climate change. Whilst flood management intervention... Read More about The 360 Lab.

Mapping hedgerow gaps and fostering positive environmental behaviours through a combination of citizen scientists and artificial intelligence (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Parsons, K., & Wolstenholme, J. (2021, April). Mapping hedgerow gaps and fostering positive environmental behaviours through a combination of citizen scientists and artificial intelligence. Presented at EGU General Assembly 2021 (European Geosciences Union), vEGU21: Gather Online

To meet CO2 reduction targets, the UK aims to plant c1.5 billion trees by 2050. Gaps within thousands of miles of hedgerows across the country are potentially suitable planting sites, but the extent of gaps and suitability for replanting are currentl...

Geomorphological numerical modelling of woody dams in CAESAR-Lisflood (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Wolstenholme, J., Skinner, C., Milan, D., & Parsons, D. (2021, April). Geomorphological numerical modelling of woody dams in CAESAR-Lisflood. Poster presented at EGU General Assembly 2021 (European Geosciences Union), vEGU21: Gather Online

Natural flood management (NFM) promotes the sustainable enhancement of natural fluvial processes to reduce flooding (SEPA, 2015; Wilkinson et al., 2019), and is increasingly popular for use by community groups, contractors and governments (Kay et al....

UK Parliament Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee Flooding Inquiry: Written Evidence from Dr Kate Smith et al. (FLO0043) (2021)
Report
Smith, K., Thomas, R. E., Skinner, C., Davidson, G., Parsons, D., McLelland, S., Coulthard, T., Malik, K., Harrison, L., Ramsden, S., Moloney, J., Ahmed, J., Carter, C., Wolstenholme, J., Halstead, F., & Betts, P. (2021). UK Parliament Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Select Committee Flooding Inquiry: Written Evidence from Dr Kate Smith et al. (FLO0043)

This submission presents the research conducted within the Energy and Environment Institute at the University of Hull. Our work demonstrates that hazards represented by flooding have multiple dimensions, and that solutions to them need to take these...

A new approach for measuring surface hydrological connectivity (2019)
Journal Article
Wolstenholme, J. M., Smith, M. W., Baird, A. J., & Sim, T. G. (2019). A new approach for measuring surface hydrological connectivity. Hydrological Processes, 15. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.13602

The development of surface hydrological connectivity is a key determinant of flood magnitude in drylands. Thresholds in runoff response may be reached when isolated runoff-generating areas connect with each other to form continuous links to river cha...
