Forensic analysis of rockfall scars (2017)
Journal Article
de Vilder, S., Rosser, N., & Brain, M. (2017). Forensic analysis of rockfall scars. Geomorphology, 295, 202-214. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2017.07.005

We 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.

Exploring mechanisms of compaction in salt-marsh sediments using Common Era relative sea-level reconstructions (2017)
Journal Article
Brain, M., Kemp, A., Hawkes, A., Engelhart, S., Vane, C., Cahill, N., …Horton, B. (2017). Exploring mechanisms of compaction in salt-marsh sediments using Common Era relative sea-level reconstructions. Quaternary Science Reviews, 167, 96-111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.04.027

Salt-marsh sediments provide precise and near-continuous reconstructions of Common Era relative sea level (RSL). However, organic and low-density salt-marsh sediments are prone to compaction processes that cause post-depositional distortion of the st...

The control of earthquake sequences on hillslope stability (2017)
Journal Article
Brain, M., Rosser, N., & Tunstall, N. (2017). The control of earthquake sequences on hillslope stability. Geophysical Research Letters, 44(2), 865-872. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016gl071879

Earthquakes trigger landslides in mountainous regions. Recent research suggests that the stability of hillslopes during and after a large earthquake is influenced by legacy effects of previous seismic activity. However, the mechanisms that control hi...
