Journal Article
Swirad, Z. M., Rosser, N. J., Brain, M. J., Rood, D. H., Hurst, M. D., Wilcken, K. M., & Barlow, J. (2020). Cosmogenic exposure dating reveals limited long-term variability in erosion of a rocky coastline. Nature Communications, 11, Article 3804. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-17611-9

Predicted sea-level rise and increased storminess are anticipated to lead to increases in coastal erosion. However, assessing if and how rocky coasts will respond to changes in marine conditions is difficult due to current limitations of monitoring a...

Arctic rock coast responses under a changing climate (2019)
Journal Article
Lim, M., Strzelecki, M. C., Kasprzak, M., Swirad, Z. M., Webster, C., Woodward, J., & Gjelten, H. (2020). Arctic rock coast responses under a changing climate. Remote Sensing of Environment, 236, Article 111500. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rse.2019.111500

It has been widely reported that Arctic sea ice has decreased in both extent and thickness, coupled with steadily rising mean annual temperatures. These trends have been particularly severe along the rock coast of southern Svalbard. Concerns have bee... Read More about Arctic rock coast responses under a changing climate.

Identifying mechanisms of shore platform erosion using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry (2019)
Journal Article
Swirad, Z., Rosser, N., & Brain, M. (2019). Identifying mechanisms of shore platform erosion using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 44(8), 1542-1558. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4591

Shore platforms control wave energy transformation which, in turn, controls energy delivery to the cliff toe and nearshore sediment transport. Insight into shore platform erosion rates has conventionally been constrained at mm-scales using micro-eros...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 124(2), 504-527. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018je005663

A project of mapping ice‐related landforms was undertaken to understand the role of subsurface ice in the northern plains. This work is the first continuous regional mapping from CTX (ConTeXt Camera, 6 m/pixel; Malin et al., 2007) imagery in Arcadia...

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 124(2), 483-503. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018je005665

This work in Utopia Planitia is the first continuous regional mapping of ice‐related landforms integrated into an effort to study the three main basins (Arcadia, Acidalia, and Utopia Planitiae) in the northern plains. The distribution and morphotypes...

Grid-based mapping: A method for rapidly determining the spatial distributions of small features over very large areas. Planetary and Space Science, 140, 49-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.pss.2017.04.002

The increased volume, spatial resolution, and areal coverage of high-resolution images of Mars over the past 15 years have led to an increased quantity and variety of small-scale landform identifications. Though many such landforms are too small to r... Read More about Grid-based mapping: A method for rapidly determining the spatial distributions of small features over very large areas.
