Sustainable Intensification of Rice Agriculture in Vulnerable Mega-Deltas: A Global Challenge’ May 1, 2017 - Apr 30, 2019
The world's major river deltas - hotspots of agricultural production that support rural livelihoods and feed much of the global population - are facing a major sustainability crisis. This is because they are under threat from being 'drowned' by risin... Read More

First detailed synchronous sediment-concentration and velocity data for submarine turbidity currents Apr 1, 2014 - May 8, 2018
Submarine sediment density flows ("turbidity currents") and rivers on land are volumetrically the most important processesfor moving sediment across our planet. However, submarine flows are more episodic and are typically more violent (withspeeds of... Read More

Modelling how sediment suspension controls the morphology and evolution of sand-bed rivers Jun 1, 2014 - Dec 31, 2017
Sand-bed rivers dominate the drainage of the Earth's surface. For example, the world's 10 largest rivers, that drain almost 20% of global continental land & deliver 33% of the terrestrial sediment supplied to the oceans, are all sand-bed channels. Ma... Read More

 Climatic and Autogenic Controls on the Morphodynamics of Mega-Rivers: Modelling Sediment Flux in the Alluvial Transfer Zone Jul 1, 2012 - Jan 31, 2017
The world's largest rivers transport ~19 billion tonnes of sediment each year, with a significant fraction being sequestered in the large deltas that are home to 14% of the world's population. Most (>70%) of these large deltas are under threat from r... Read More

Reducing uncertainty in flood prediction: the representation of vegetation in hydraulic models. Apr 1, 2013 - Dec 31, 2016
The summer 2007 flooding in England was the country's largest peacetime emergency since World War II, with 13 deaths, over 55,000 homes & businesses flooded & an associated insurance cost of over £3 billion. Prior to 2007 floods, the UK had experienc... Read More
