Constraining the stream power law: a novel approach combining a landscape evolution model and an inversion method (2014)
Journal Article
Croissant, T., & Braun, J. (2014). Constraining the stream power law: a novel approach combining a landscape evolution model and an inversion method. Earth Surface Dynamics, 2(1), 155-166. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-2-155-2014

In the past few decades, many studies have been dedicated to the understanding of the interactions between tectonics and erosion, in many instances through the use of numerical models of landscape evolution. Among the numerous parameterizations that... Read More about Constraining the stream power law: a novel approach combining a landscape evolution model and an inversion method.

Variability in aerobic methane oxidation over the past 1.2 Myrs recorded in microbial biomarker signatures from Congo fan sediments (2014)
Journal Article
Talbot, H., Handley, L., Spencer-Jones, C., Bienvenu, D., Schefuß, E., Mann, P., …Wagner, T. (2014). Variability in aerobic methane oxidation over the past 1.2 Myrs recorded in microbial biomarker signatures from Congo fan sediments. Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 133, 387-401. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gca.2014.02.035

Methane (CH4) is a strong greenhouse gas known to have perturbed global climate in the past, especially when released in large quantities over short time periods from continental or marine sources. It is therefore crucial to understand and, if possib...

Preservation of terrestrial organic carbon in marine sediments offshore Taiwan: mountain building and atmospheric carbon dioxide sequestration (2014)
Journal Article
Kao, S., Hilton, R., Selvaraj, K., Dai, M., Zehetner, F., Huang, J., …Hovius, N. (2014). Preservation of terrestrial organic carbon in marine sediments offshore Taiwan: mountain building and atmospheric carbon dioxide sequestration. Earth Surface Dynamics, 2(1), 127-139. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-2-127-2014

Geological sequestration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) can be achieved by the erosion of organic carbon (OC) from the terrestrial biosphere and its burial in long-lived marine sediments. Rivers on mountain islands of Oceania in the western Paci...

Experimental investigation into the impact of a liquid droplet onto a granular bed using three-dimensional, time-resolved, particle tracking (2014)
Journal Article
Long, E., Hargrace, G., Cooper, J., Kitchener, B., Parsons, A., Hewett, C., & Wainwright, J. (2014). Experimental investigation into the impact of a liquid droplet onto a granular bed using three-dimensional, time-resolved, particle tracking. Physical Review E, 89(3), Article 032201. https://doi.org/10.1103/physreve.89.032201

An experimental investigation into the interaction that occurs between an impacting water droplet and a granular bed of loose graded sand has been carried out. High-speed imaging, three-dimensional time-resolved particle tracking, and photogrammetric...

Corporate efforts to demonstrate ‘sustainability’ within production networks are driving a continued demand for new metrics. This raises questions concerning which experts will be enlisted in their creation, what data and calculative methods they wil...

Practices, programs and projects of urban carbon governance: Perspectives from the Australian city (2014)
Journal Article
McGuirk, P., Bulkeley, H., & Dowling, R. (2014). Practices, programs and projects of urban carbon governance: Perspectives from the Australian city. Geoforum, 52, 137-147. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoforum.2014.01.007

This paper addresses the governance of transitions to lower carbon cities. Drawing on both governmentality and neo-Gramscian perspectives, we chart and explore the diverse objects, subjects, means and ends evoked as governmental programs, or hegemoni...

‘Good water governance’ in Lao PDR and Alberta, Canada emerged in different political contexts of, respectively, communism and democracy. Yet both espouse similar principles of participation, transparency and accountability. Drawing on multiple metho...
