On validating predictions of plant motion in coupled biomechanical-flow models (2015)
Journal Article
Marjoribanks, T., Hardy, R., & Parsons, D. (2015). On validating predictions of plant motion in coupled biomechanical-flow models. Journal of Hydraulic Research, 53(6), 808-813. https://doi.org/10.1080/00221686.2015.1110627

Recent developments in integrated biomechanical-flow models have enabled the prediction of the influence of vegetation on the flow field and associated feedback processes. However, to date, such models have only been validated on the hydraulic predic... Read More about On validating predictions of plant motion in coupled biomechanical-flow models.

The role of discharge variability in determining alluvial stratigraphy (2015)
Journal Article
Nicholas, A., Sambrook Smith, G., Amsler, M., Ashworth, P., Best, J., Hardy, R., …Szupiany, R. (2016). The role of discharge variability in determining alluvial stratigraphy. Geology, 44(1), 3-6. https://doi.org/10.1130/g37215.1

We illustrate the potential for using physics-based modeling to link alluvial stratigraphy to large river morphology and dynamics. Model simulations, validated using ground penetrating radar data from the Río Paraná, Argentina, demonstrate a strong r...

Extremes in dune preservation: Controls on the completeness of fluvial deposits (2015)
Journal Article
Reesink, A., Van den Berg, J., Parsons, D., Amsler, M., Best, J., Hardy, R., …Szupiany, R. (2015). Extremes in dune preservation: Controls on the completeness of fluvial deposits. Earth-Science Reviews, 150, 652-665. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.earscirev.2015.09.008

Understanding sedimentary preservation underpins our ability to interpret the ancient sedimentary record and reconstruct paleoenvironments and paleoclimates. Dune sets are ubiquitous in preserved river deposits and are typically interpreted based on... Read More about Extremes in dune preservation: Controls on the completeness of fluvial deposits.
