Using sediment impact sensors to improve the morphological sediment budget approach for estimating bedload transport rates (2010)
Journal Article
Raven, E., Lane, S., & Ferguson, R. (2010). Using sediment impact sensors to improve the morphological sediment budget approach for estimating bedload transport rates. Geomorphology, 119(1-2), 125-134. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2010.03.012

Constructing a sediment budget from morphological channel change, typically measured using repeat cross-sectional surveys, has proven a useful technique for estimating mean bedload transport rates in gravel-bed rivers. We apply and suggest improvemen... Read More about Using sediment impact sensors to improve the morphological sediment budget approach for estimating bedload transport rates.

Reconstruction of subgrid scale topographic variability and its effect upon the spatial structure of three dimensional river flow (2010)
Journal Article
Casas, M., Lane, S., Hardy, R., Benito, G., & Whiting, P. (2010). Reconstruction of subgrid scale topographic variability and its effect upon the spatial structure of three dimensional river flow. Water Resources Research, 46(3), Article W03519. https://doi.org/10.1029/2009wr007756

A new approach to describing the associated topography at different scales in computational fluid dynamic applications to gravel bed rivers was developed. Surveyed topographic data were interpolated, using geostatistical methods, into different spati...

On the relationship between flow and suspended sediment transport over the crest of a sand dune, Río Paraná, Argentina (2010)
Journal Article
Shugar, D., Kostaschuk, R., Best, J., Parsons, D., Lane, S., Orfeo, O., & Hardy, R. (2010). On the relationship between flow and suspended sediment transport over the crest of a sand dune, Río Paraná, Argentina. Sedimentology, 57(1), 252-272. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-3091.2009.01110.x

The links between large-scale turbulence and the suspension of sediment over alluvial bedforms have generated considerable interest in the last few decades, with past studies illustrating the origin of such turbulence and its influence on flow resist...

The spatial and temporal patterns of aggradation in a temperate, upland, gravel-bed river. (2009)
Journal Article
Raven, E., Lane, S., Ferguson, R., & Bracken, L. (2009). The spatial and temporal patterns of aggradation in a temperate, upland, gravel-bed river. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 34(9), 1181-1197. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1783

Intensive field monitoring of a reach Of upland gravel-bed river illustrates the temporal and spatial variability of in-channel sedimentation. Over the six-year monitoring period, the mean bed level in the channel has risen by 0.17 m with a maximum b...

Increased temperature sensitivity of net DOC production from ombrotrophic peat due to water table draw-down (2009)
Journal Article
Clark, J., Ashley, D., Wagner, P., Chapman, P., Lane, S., Evans, C., & Heathwaite, A. (2009). Increased temperature sensitivity of net DOC production from ombrotrophic peat due to water table draw-down. Global Change Biology, 15(4), 794-807. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2486.2008.01683.x

The production and release of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from peat soils is thought to be sensitive to changes in climate, specifically changes in temperature and rainfall. However, little is known about the actual rates of net DOC production in...

Optimisation of stereo-matching algorithms using extant DEM data (2009)
Journal Article
Milledge, D., Lane, S., & Warburton, J. (2009). Optimisation of stereo-matching algorithms using extant DEM data. Photogrammetric engineering and remote sensing, 75(3), 323-333. https://doi.org/10.14358/pers.75.3.323

Here we present a new method for using existing Digital Elevation Model data to optimise performance of stereo-matching algorithms for digital topographic determination. We show that existing DEM data, even those of a poor quality (precision, resolut... Read More about Optimisation of stereo-matching algorithms using extant DEM data.

Coherent flow structures in a depth-limited flow over a gravel surface : the role of near-bed turbulance and influence of Reynolds number (2009)
Journal Article
Hardy, R., Best, J., Lane, S., & Carbonneau, P. (2009). Coherent flow structures in a depth-limited flow over a gravel surface : the role of near-bed turbulance and influence of Reynolds number. Journal of Geophysical Research, 114, Article F01003. https://doi.org/10.1029/2007jf000970

In gravel bed rivers, the microtopography of the bed exerts a significant effect on the generation of turbulent flow structures. Although field and laboratory measurements have indicated that flows over gravel beds contain coherent macroturbulent flo...
