Book Chapter
Shennan, I., Barlow, N., & Combellick, R. (2008). Palaeoseismological records of multiple great earthquakes in south-central Alaska: a 4000 year record at Girdwood. In J. Freymueller, P. Haeussler, R. Wesson, & G. Ekstrom (Eds.), Active tectonics and seismic potential of Alaska (185-199). AGU Geophysical Monograph Series

Analysis of sediment sequences beneath a tidal marsh at Girdwood, Alaska, record seven great earthquakes in the past 4000 years, including the Mw = 9.2 earthquake of March 27, 1964. The key theme that arises from studies of crustal deformation for th...

Ice-sheet models (ISMs) developed to simulate the behaviour of continental-scale ice sheets under past, present or future climate scenarios are subject to a number of uncertainties from various sources. These sources include the conceptualization of... Read More about The impact of parametric uncertainty and topographic error in ice-sheet modelling.

Proceedings of a meeting held 11-14 September 2007, Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK (331-335)

The well-publicised floods in North Yorkshire on 19 June 2005 focussed attention on the devastating impact of flash floods in the UK uplands. The North Yorkshire floods were considered so severe that they prompted an emergency debate in Parliament (2...

Tropical-cyclone-driven erosion of the terrestrial biosphere from mountains (2008)
Journal Article
Hilton, R., Galy, A., Hovius, N., Chen, M., Horng, M., & Chen, H. (2008). Tropical-cyclone-driven erosion of the terrestrial biosphere from mountains. Nature Geoscience, 1(11), 759-762. https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo333

The transfer of organic carbon from the terrestrial biosphere to the oceans via erosion and riverine transport constitutes an important component of the global carbon cycle. More than one third of this organic carbon flux comes from sediment-laden ri... Read More about Tropical-cyclone-driven erosion of the terrestrial biosphere from mountains.

Quaternary International, 189(1), 115-128. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2007.08.045

This paper reports the latest details from an on-going investigation of the Early Pleistocene buried river terrace sequence of the Gediz River ∼40 km upstream of the Alaşehir graben in the Kula volcanic province, Western Turkey. Using clast lithology... Read More about The Early Pleistocene development of the Gediz River, Western Turkey: An uplift-driven, climate-controlled system?.

High resolution elevation data derived from stereoscopic CORONA imagery with minimal ground control: an approach using IKONOS and SRTM data (2008)
Journal Article

The first space mission to provide stereoscopic imagery of the Earth’s surface was from the American CORONA spy satellite program from which it is possible to generate Digital Elevation Models (DEMs). CORONA imagery and derived DEMs are of most value...

Controls on sediment evacuation from glacially modified and unmodified catchments in the eastern Sierra Nevada, California (2008)
Journal Article
Dühnforth, M., Densmore, A., Ivy-Ochs, S., & Allen, P. (2008). Controls on sediment evacuation from glacially modified and unmodified catchments in the eastern Sierra Nevada, California. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 33(10), 1602-1613. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1694

The degree of glacial modification in small catchments along the eastern Sierra Nevada, California, controls the timing and pattern of sediment flux to the adjacent fans. There is a close relationship between the depth of fan-head incision and the pa...

A terrain analysis technique relating ice-surface plan curvature to basal topography is applied to the Antarctic Ice Sheet. The technique suggests complex bed topography and a large subglacial basin more than 1500 m below present day sea level under...
