Limits on the validity of infinite length assumptions for modelling shallow landslides (2012)
Journal Article
Milledge, D., Griffiths, D., Lane, S., & Warburton, J. (2012). Limits on the validity of infinite length assumptions for modelling shallow landslides. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 37(11), 1158-1166. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3235

The infinite slope method is widely used as the geotechnical component of geomorphic and landscape evolution models. Its assumption that shallow landslides are infinitely long (in a downslope direction) is usually considered valid for natural landsli...

Modelling the effects of sediment compaction on salt marsh reconstructions of recent sea-level rise (2012)
Journal Article
Brain, M., Long, A., Woodroffe, S., Petley, D., Milledge, D., & Parnell, A. (2012). Modelling the effects of sediment compaction on salt marsh reconstructions of recent sea-level rise. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 345-348, 180-193. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2012.06.045

This paper quantifies the potential influence of sediment compaction on the magnitude of nineteenth and twentieth century sea-level rise, as reconstructed from salt marsh sediments. We firstly develop a database of the physical and compression proper... Read More about Modelling the effects of sediment compaction on salt marsh reconstructions of recent sea-level rise.

A Monte Carlo approach to the inverse problem of diffuse pollution risk in agricultural catchments (2012)
Journal Article
Milledge, D., Lane, S., Heathwaite, A., & Reaney, S. (2012). A Monte Carlo approach to the inverse problem of diffuse pollution risk in agricultural catchments. Science of the Total Environment, 433, 434-449. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2012.06.047

The hydrological and biogeochemical processes that operate in catchments influence the ecological quality of freshwater systems through delivery of fine sediment, nutrients and organic matter. Most models that seek to characterise the delivery of dif... Read More about A Monte Carlo approach to the inverse problem of diffuse pollution risk in agricultural catchments.

Impacts of upland open drains upon runoff generation: a numerical assessment of catchment-scale impacts (2012)
Journal Article
Lane, S., & Milledge, D. (2012). Impacts of upland open drains upon runoff generation: a numerical assessment of catchment-scale impacts. Hydrological Processes, 27(12), 1701-1726. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.9285

Shallow upland drains, grips, have been hypothesized as responsible for increased downstream flow magnitudes. Observations provide counterfactual evidence, often relating to the difficulty of inferring conclusions from statistical correlation and pai...
