Scientific Reports, 7, Article 15991. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-14863-2Although the size-frequency distributions of icebergs can provide insight into how they disintegrate, our understanding of this process is incomplete. Fundamentally, there is a discrepancy between iceberg power-law size-frequency distributions observ... Read More about Drift-dependent changes in iceberg size-frequency distributions.

Geomorphology, 295, 202-214. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2017.07.005We characterise and analyse the detachment (scar) surfaces of rockfalls to understand the mechanisms that underpin their failure. Rockfall scars are variously weathered and comprised of both discontinuity release surfaces and surfaces indicative of f... Read More about Forensic analysis of rockfall scars.
