Leverhulme Early Career - Life after cutoff: quantifying the 3D evolution of oxbow lakes Apr 1, 2022 - Mar 31, 2025
Oxbow lakes are one of the most iconic features in fluvial landscapes and play a crucial role in regulating riverine habitat quality and sustaining riverside communities across the globe. To evaluate the resilience of these lakes to the threats posed... Read More about Leverhulme Early Career - Life after cutoff: quantifying the 3D evolution of oxbow lakes.

nutrient analysis on Winestead Drain (EA partnership) Jan 25, 2022 - Mar 31, 2022
Analysis sediment core samples nutrient levels, particularly focusing on phosphate levels to understand nutrient sources. Excess phosphates lead to eutrophication, to inform mitigation of this sources of phosphates need to be determined. Historic ph...

Project will run July 2022 to 1st April 2023

A follow on project to gain a deeper understanding of the nutrient dynamics affecting Winestead drain.
Analysis water samples for nutrient levels, particularly focusing on phosphate levels to understan... Read More about nutrient analysis on Winestead Drain (EA partnership) 2.

Establishing a Real-time Meander Observatory Dec 1, 2022 - Feb 1, 2026
Observing the real-time response of meander morphology to the full-range of annual flow conditions is inherently difficult due the rapidity at which these changes occur, and the logistical limitations imposed by the weather and channel flow dynamics....
