Extending the flood record - assessing the uncertainty and viability of palaeoflood data (2019)
Thesis
Moloney, J. L. (2019). Extending the flood record - assessing the uncertainty and viability of palaeoflood data. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4222112

This study assesses the uncertainty and viability of palaeoflood records in relation to the British database, which is a collection of radiocarbon dated geomorphological fluvial deposits used to infer the flood-frequency record during the Holocene. T... Read More about Extending the flood record - assessing the uncertainty and viability of palaeoflood data.

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.

Exploring the interaction between rivers and sand dunes : implications for fluvial-aeolian geomorphology (2014)
Thesis
Liu, B. (. S. (2014). Exploring the interaction between rivers and sand dunes : implications for fluvial-aeolian geomorphology. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4217352

The interaction between fluvial and aeolian processes can significantly influence landforms. When rivers and sand dunes meet, the interaction of sediment transport between the two systems can lead to change in either one or both systems. However, the...

Rethinking the spaces and institutions of flood governance (2013)
Thesis
Rogers-Wright, A. (2013). Rethinking the spaces and institutions of flood governance. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215549

In 2007 the city of Hull in Yorkshire, England, experienced extremely high levels of rainfall. The city is very low lying, built predominantly on drained land which relies on a pumped drainage system; as a result, the city flooded. There were a numbe...

Outcomes of river rehabilitation on instream hydraulics and fish communities (2013)
Thesis
Smith, M. A. (2013). Outcomes of river rehabilitation on instream hydraulics and fish communities. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4215204

All fish species have specific habitat requirements, which differ according to life history and life stage. Where requirements are not met, or are inadequate for a particular species, the species will be locally absent or the population in poor condi...

Investigating sustainable solutions for roadside gully pot management (2012)
Thesis
Scott, K. M. (2012). Investigating sustainable solutions for roadside gully pot management. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4214573

Roadside gully pots are an important component of urban drainage, with over 17 million examples in service throughout England and Wales. Their main purpose is to retain sediments from road runoff, leaves and organic litter in order to avoid blockage...

Developing GPS river flow tracers (GRiFTers) to investigate large scale river flow phenomena (2009)
Thesis
Stockdale, R. (2009). Developing GPS river flow tracers (GRiFTers) to investigate large scale river flow phenomena. (Thesis). University of Hull. Retrieved from https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/4213020

Existing flow measurement methods in natural gravel rivers are largely based on a series of point measurements detached from the dynamic nature of river flow. Traditional measurement methods are limited in many environments and locations due to an in...
