Mass Movements (2022)
Book Chapter
Brain, M., & Rosser, N. (in press). Mass Movements. In T. Burt, A. Goudie, & H. Viles (Eds.), The History of the Study of Landforms or the Development of Geomorphology. The Geological Society. https://doi.org/10.1144/m58-2021-32

In this chapter, we consider key advances in understanding of mass movements between ~1965 and ~2000. This period saw a burgeoning need for a greater level of understanding of mass movement processes in response to a series of high impact mass moveme... Read More about Mass Movements.

Field monitoring of soil-moisture to understand the hydrological response of a road-cut slope (2020)
Book Chapter

Romero (Eds.), 4th European Conference on Unsaturated Soils (E-UNSAT 2020). EDP Sciences. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202019501029

Rainfall and slope-cutting for road construction are two key landslide causative factors in Nepal, but how they interact to cause failures is poorly understood. To improve understanding of the effects of cut slopes during rainfall, geotechnical inves...

Forensic rockfall scar analysis: Development of a mechanically correct model of rockfall failure (2017)
Book Chapter

Shakoor (Eds.), Landslides : putting experience, knowledge and emerging technologies into practice (829-839). Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists (AEG)

The mechanical controls on small (< 10 m3), individual rockfall in jointed rock masses are not well constrained. We use forensic analysis of rockfall detachment surfaces (scars) which display fractured surfaces broken through intact rock, termed rock...

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Rockfalls in Hard Rock Coastal Cliffs
Book Chapter
Whadcoat, S., Rosser, N., Brain, M., & Hardy, R. Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Rockfalls in Hard Rock Coastal Cliffs. In J. De Graff, & A. Shakoor (Eds.), Landslides: Putting Experience, Knowledge and Emerging Technologies into Practice (633 - 644). Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists (AEG)

Rock cliffs have been observed to evolve via progressive failure, yet the processes that control progressive failure and how it is spatially manifest are poorly understood. This paper considers the spatial and temporal distribution of rockfalls from... Read More about Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Rockfalls in Hard Rock Coastal Cliffs.
