The concept of an estuary: A definition that incorporates systems which can become closed to the ocean and hypersaline (2010)
Journal Article
Potter, I. C., Chuwen, B. M., Hoeksema, S. D., & Elliott, M. (2010). The concept of an estuary: A definition that incorporates systems which can become closed to the ocean and hypersaline. Estuarine, coastal and shelf science, 87(3), 497-500. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecss.2010.01.021

The majority of the definitions of estuaries have been based on the characteristics of estuaries in temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. As previously pointed out (Day, 1980), such definitions do not take into account such features as period...

Mapping hydraulic biotopes using terrestrial laser scan data of water surface properties (2010)
Journal Article
Milan, D., Heritage, G., Large, A., & Entwistle, N. (2010). Mapping hydraulic biotopes using terrestrial laser scan data of water surface properties. Earth surface processes and landforms : the journal of the British Geomorphological Research Group, 35(8), 918-931. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1948

For more than a decade, habitat mapping using biotopes (in-channel hydraulically-defined habitats) has underpinned aquatic conservation in the UK through (a) providing baseline information on system complexity and (b) allowing environmental and ecolo...

Journal Article
Wignall, P. B., Bond, D. P., Kuwahara, K., Kakuwa, Y., Newton, R. J., & Poulton, S. W. (2010). An 80 million year oceanic redox history from Permian to Jurassic pelagic sediments of the Mino-Tamba terrane, SW Japan, and the origin of four mass extinctions. Global and planetary change, 71(1-2), 109-123. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloplacha.2010.01.022

Fabric and pyrite framboid size analysis of Permian to Jurassic samples from the Mino-Tamba terrane of Japan provide an 80myr redox history from the Panthalassa Ocean. Fully oxygenated conditions dominated but were punctuated by three phases of anoxi...

Self-organized criticality in river basins: challenging sedimentary records of environmental change (2010)
Journal Article
Van De Wiel, M. J., & Coulthard, T. J. (2010). Self-organized criticality in river basins: challenging sedimentary records of environmental change. Geology, 38(1), 87-90. https://doi.org/10.1130/g30490.1

For many years researchers have linked increases in sediment and bedload from drainage basins to external factors such as increased rainfall. However, natural systems have always shown a high degree of scatter or nonlinearity in this response, which...
