Evidence for explosive silicic volcanism on the Moon from the extended distribution of thorium near the Compton-Belkovich Volcanic Complex (2014)
Journal Article
Wilson, J., Eke, V., Massey, R., Elphic, R., Jolliff, B., Lawrence, D., …Teodoro, L. (2015). Evidence for explosive silicic volcanism on the Moon from the extended distribution of thorium near the Compton-Belkovich Volcanic Complex. Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 120(1), 92-108. https://doi.org/10.1002/2014je004719

We reconstruct the abundance of thorium near the Compton-Belkovich Volcanic Complex on the Moon, using data from the Lunar Prospector Gamma Ray Spectrometer. We enhance the resolution via a pixon image reconstruction technique and find that the thori...

Heat transport and pressure buildup during carbon dioxide injection into depleted gas reservoirs (2014)
Journal Article
Mathias, S., McElwaine, J., & Gluyas, J. (2014). Heat transport and pressure buildup during carbon dioxide injection into depleted gas reservoirs. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 756, 89-109. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2014.348

In this article, a two-layer vertical equilibrium model for the injection of carbon dioxide into a low-pressure porous reservoir containing methane and water is developed. The dependent variables solved for include pressure, temperature and $\def \xm... Read More about Heat transport and pressure buildup during carbon dioxide injection into depleted gas reservoirs.

Evaluation of a snow avalanche possibly triggered by a local earthquake at Vallée de la Sionne, Switzerland (2014)
Journal Article
Pérez-Guillén, C., Tapia, M., Furdada, G., Suriñach, E., McElwaine, J., & Hiller, M. (2014). Evaluation of a snow avalanche possibly triggered by a local earthquake at Vallée de la Sionne, Switzerland. Cold Regions Science and Technology, 108, 149-162. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.coldregions.2014.07.007

Snow avalanches are moving sources of infrasonic and seismic energy. They can be triggered by many different mechanisms that include the shaking produced by earthquakes. The forces induced by an earthquake can cause an increase in the load down the s...

Bulldozing of granular material. (2014)
Journal Article
Sauret, A., Balmforth, N., Caulfield, C., & McElwaine, J. (2014). Bulldozing of granular material. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 748, 143-174. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2014.181

We investigate the bulldozing motion of a granular sandpile driven forwards by a vertical plate. The problem is set up in the laboratory by emplacing the pile on a table rotating underneath a stationary plate; the continual circulation of the bulldoz...
