Report
Bovolo, C. (in press). Managing Flood Risk in Guyana : The Conservancy Adaptation Project, 2008-2013. [No known commissioning body]

The East Demerara Water Conservancy (EDWC) and east coast drainage and irrigation systems provide water storage and flood control mechanisms for Guyana's most populous region, including the capital city of Georgetown. In 2005, extreme rainfall caused... Read More about Managing Flood Risk in Guyana : The Conservancy Adaptation Project, 2008-2013.

Use of scenario ensembles for deriving seismic risk (2018)
Journal Article
Robinson, T., Rosser, N., Densmore, A., Oven, K., Shrestha, S., & Guragain, R. (2018). Use of scenario ensembles for deriving seismic risk. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 115(41), E9532-E9541. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1807433115

High death tolls from recent earthquakes show that seismic risk remains high globally. While there has been much focus on seismic hazard, large uncertainties associated with exposure and vulnerability have led to more limited analyses of the potentia...

Late Holocene relative sea levels near Palmer Station, northern Antarctic Peninsula, strongly controlled by late Holocene ice-mass changes. Quaternary Science Reviews, 199, 49-59. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2018.09.017

Many studies of Holocene relative sea-level (RSL) changes across Antarctica assume that their reconstructions record uplift from glacial isostatic adjustment caused by the demise of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) ice sheets. However, recent analysis... Read More about Late Holocene relative sea levels near Palmer Station, northern Antarctic Peninsula, strongly controlled by late Holocene ice-mass changes.

The fire that erupted in Grenfell Tower in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in west London on 14 June 2017 is widely acknowledged to be the worst experienced during UK peacetime since the nineteenth century. It is confirmed to have resulte... Read More about The Grenfell Tower atrocity: Exposing urban worlds of inequality, injustice, and an impaired democracy.

The impact of non-equilibrium flow on the structure of turbulence over river dunes (2018)
Journal Article
Unsworth, C., Parsons, D., Hardy, R., Reesink, A., Best, J., Ashworth, P., & Keevil, G. (2018). The impact of non-equilibrium flow on the structure of turbulence over river dunes. Water Resources Research, 54(9), 6566-6584. https://doi.org/10.1029/2017wr021377

This piece of research expands our description of how rivers flow over dunes on a river bed. Most of the scientific communities' research to date has used unnaturally steady conditions to measure how water moves over dunes. Yet these flow conditions...

What controls submarine channel development and the morphology of deltas entering deep-water fjords? (2018)
Journal Article
Gales, J., Talling, P., Cartigny, M., Hughes Clarke, J., Lintern, G., Stacey, C., & Clare, M. (2019). What controls submarine channel development and the morphology of deltas entering deep-water fjords?. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 44(2), 535-551. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4515

River deltas and associated turbidity current systems produce some of the largest and most rapid sediment accumulations on our planet. These systems bury globally significant volumes of organic carbon and determine the runout distance of potentially...

The susceptibility of glacigenic deposits to liquefaction under seismic loading conditions: a case study relating to nuclear site characterization in West Cumbria (2018)
Journal Article
Cross, M., Attya, A., & Evans, D. J. (2018). The susceptibility of glacigenic deposits to liquefaction under seismic loading conditions: a case study relating to nuclear site characterization in West Cumbria. Proceedings of the Yorkshire Geological Society, 62, 116-132. https://doi.org/10.1144/pygs2018-003

Previous research has established a chronostratigraphy of glacial/deglacial events together with a lithostratigraphical framework for the Quaternary deposits of the Sellafield area in West Cumbria. The glacial record is dominated by sediments and lan...
