Grid-based mapping: A method for rapidly determining the spatial distributions of small features over very large areas (2017)
Journal Article
Ramsdale, J., Balme, M., Conway, S., Gallagher, C., van Gasselt, S., Hauber, E., …Platz, T. (2017). 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.

Past penguin colony responses to explosive volcanism on the Antarctic Peninsula (2017)
Journal Article
Roberts, S., Monien, P., Foster, L., Loftfield, J., Hocking, E., Schnetger, B., …Hodgson, D. (2017). Past penguin colony responses to explosive volcanism on the Antarctic Peninsula. Nature Communications, 8, Article 14914. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms14914

Changes in penguin populations on the Antarctic Peninsula have been linked to several environmental factors, but the potentially devastating impact of volcanic activity has not been considered. Here we use detailed biogeochemical analyses to track pa... Read More about Past penguin colony responses to explosive volcanism on the Antarctic Peninsula.

Modeling complex flow structures and drag around a submerged plant of varied posture (2017)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, R., Hardy, R., Warburton, J., & Marjoribanks, T. (2017). Modeling complex flow structures and drag around a submerged plant of varied posture. Water Resources Research, 53(4), 2877-2901. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016wr020186

Although vegetation is present in many rivers, the bulk of past work concerned with modeling the influence of vegetation on flow has considered vegetation to be morphologically simple, and has generally neglected the complexity of natural plants. Her... Read More about Modeling complex flow structures and drag around a submerged plant of varied posture.

Periglacial geomorphology of summit tors on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, SW England (2017)
Journal Article
Evans, D. J., Kalyan, R., & Orton, C. (2017). Periglacial geomorphology of summit tors on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, SW England. Journal of Maps, 13(2), 342-349. https://doi.org/10.1080/17445647.2017.1308283

Three maps are presented that portray the periglacial geomorphology of the three summit areas of Bodmin Moor, Cornwall, SW England, including Brown Willy (scale 1:2630), Kilmar/Bearah/Sharp tors (scale 1:3335) and Rough/Little Rough/Showery tors (sca...

Structural architecture and glacitectonic evolution of the Mud Buttes cupola hill complex, southern Alberta, Canada (2017)
Journal Article
Phillips, E., Evans, D. J., Atkinson, N., & Kendall, A. (2017). Structural architecture and glacitectonic evolution of the Mud Buttes cupola hill complex, southern Alberta, Canada. Quaternary Science Reviews, 164, 110-139. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2017.03.027

This paper presents the results of a detailed multidisciplinary study of the deformed bedrock and overlying Quaternary sediments exposed at the Mud Buttes in southern Alberta, Canada. This large, arcuate cupola hill is composed of intensely folded an...

Bed load tracer mobility in a mixed bedrock/alluvial channel (2017)
Journal Article
Ferguson, R., Sharma, B., Hodge, R., Hardy, R., & Warburton, J. (2017). Bed load tracer mobility in a mixed bedrock/alluvial channel. Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, 122(4), 807-822. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016jf003946

The presence of bare or partially-covered rock in an otherwise alluvial river implies a downstream change in transport capacity relative to supply. Field investigations of this change and what causes it are lacking. We used two sets of magnet-tagged... Read More about Bed load tracer mobility in a mixed bedrock/alluvial channel.

Quantitative Holocene climatic reconstructions for the lower Yangtze region of China (2017)
Journal Article
Li, J., Dodson, J., Yan, H., Wang, W., Innes, J., Zong, Y., …Lu, F. (2018). Quantitative Holocene climatic reconstructions for the lower Yangtze region of China. Climate Dynamics, 50(3-4), 1101-1113. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00382-017-3664-3

Quantitative proxy-based and high-resolution palaeoclimatic datasets are scarce for the lower reaches of the Yangtze River (LYR) basin. This region is in a transitional vegetation zone which is climatologically sensitive; and as a birthplace for preh...

Quantifying erosion of at risk archaeological sites using repeat terrestrial laser scanning (2017)
Journal Article
Kincey, M., Gerrard, C., & Warburton, J. (2017). Quantifying erosion of at risk archaeological sites using repeat terrestrial laser scanning. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 12, 405-424. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2017.02.003

Effective heritage management is reliant on an understanding of the range of current and potential future threats facing archaeological sites. Despite this, the processes leading to the loss of in situ archaeological remains are still poorly understo...

Paragenesis of multiple platinum-group mineral populations in Shetland ophiolite chromitite: 3D X-ray tomography and in situ Os isotopes (2017)
Journal Article
Prichard, H., Barnes, S. J., Dale, C., Godel, B., Fisher, P., & Nowell, G. (2017).
