Pore size, shape and connectivity in tills and their relationship to deformation processes (2008)
Journal Article
Kilfeather, A., & Jaap, J. V. D. M. (2008). Pore size, shape and connectivity in tills and their relationship to deformation processes. Quaternary Science Reviews, 27(3-4), 250-266. https://doi.org/10.1016/jquascirev.2006.12.015

This paper describes how till bulk porosity and pore shape, size and connectivity relate to till deformation processes. Methods have been developed to examine till pores microscopically using thin section analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM)...

Micromorphological Analysis of Coastal Sediments from Willapa Bay, Washington, USA: A Technique for Analysing Inferred Tsunami Deposits (2007)
Journal Article
Kilfeather, A., Blackford, J., & Jaap, J. V. D. M. (2007). Micromorphological Analysis of Coastal Sediments from Willapa Bay, Washington, USA: A Technique for Analysing Inferred Tsunami Deposits. Pure and Applied Geophysics, 164(2-3), 509-525. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00024-006-0173-4

Tsunami deposits are provisionally distinguished in the field on the basis of anomalous sand horizons, fining-up and fining-landward, coupled with organic-rich, fragmented `backwash' sediments. In this paper, micromorphological features of a sediment...

Experiments on the taphonomy of tephra in peat (2005)
Journal Article
Payne, R., Kilfeather, A., Jaap, J. V. D. M., & Blackford, J. (2005). Experiments on the taphonomy of tephra in peat. Suo: mires and peat, 56(4), 147-156

Understanding the taphonomy of tephra (volcanic ash) is crucial to the use of tephrochronology in peatlands. This study uses field experiments on a Scottish peatland to investigate the post-depositional movement of tephra in peat. Experiments were de...

A packed lysimeter experiment to investigate the effect of surface sealing on hydrology and pesticide loss from the reconstructed profile of a clay soil: 2. Pesticide loss (2004)
Journal Article
Heppell, C., Chapman, A., Bidwell, V., & Kilfeather, A. (2004). A packed lysimeter experiment to investigate the effect of surface sealing on hydrology and pesticide loss from the reconstructed profile of a clay soil: 2. Pesticide loss. Soil Use and Management, 20(4), 384-393. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-2743.2004.tb00387.x

A laboratory experiment was designed to assess the impact of surface seal development on herbicide loss from a clay soil. The influence of surface sealing on herbicide loss through vertical macropores and lateral throughflow pathways was of particula...
