A Snapshot in Time: The Dynamic and Ephemeral Structure of Peatland Soils (2018)
Book Chapter
Harrington, L., & Warburton, J. (2018). A Snapshot in Time: The Dynamic and Ephemeral Structure of Peatland Soils. In A. Toland, J. Stratton Noller, & G. Wessolek (Eds.), Field to Palette: Dialogues on Soil and Art in the Anthropocene (199-209). CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/b22355

Peat soil is a heterogeneous mixture of decomposed plant material that has accumulated in a water-saturated environment in the absence of oxygen. The structure of peat varies enormously from partially decomposed plant remains to a fine amorphous coll... Read More about A Snapshot in Time: The Dynamic and Ephemeral Structure of Peatland Soils.

Contaminated sediment flux from eroding abandoned historical metal mines: Spatial and temporal variability in geomorphological drivers (2018)
Journal Article
Kincey, M., Warburton, J., & Brewer, P. (2018). Contaminated sediment flux from eroding abandoned historical metal mines: Spatial and temporal variability in geomorphological drivers. Geomorphology, 319, 199-215. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2018.07.026

Abandoned historical metal mines represent significant long-term sediment source locations contributing highly contaminated anthropogenic legacy sediments to river systems. Despite this, our understanding of spatial and temporal variability in the ra...

Sediment continuity through the upland sediment cascade: geomorphic response of an upland river to an extreme flood event (2018)
Journal Article
Joyce, H., Hardy, R., Warburton, J., & Large, A. (2018). Sediment continuity through the upland sediment cascade: geomorphic response of an upland river to an extreme flood event. Geomorphology, 317, 45-61. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2018.05.002

Hillslope erosion and accelerated lake sedimentation are often reported as the source and main stores of sediment in the upland sediment cascade during extreme flood events. While upland valley floodplain systems in the transfer zone have the potenti...

Microtopography of bare peat: a conceptual model and objective classification from high-resolution topographic survey data (2018)
Journal Article
Smith, M., & Warburton, J. (2018). Microtopography of bare peat: a conceptual model and objective classification from high-resolution topographic survey data. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 43(8), 1557-1574. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4336

Peatlands globally are at risk of degradation through increased susceptibility to erosion as a result of climate change. Quantification of peat erosion and an understanding of the processes responsible for their degradation is required if eroded peat...
