Compaction describes a range of processes that reduce the volume of sediments encountered in coastal stratigraphic sequences. Compaction lowers the depositional surface relative to the intertidal frame, distorts stratigraphic sequences and lowers sea... Read More about Compaction.

The effects of normal and shear stress wave phasing on coseismic landslide displacement (2015)
Journal Article
Brain, M., Rosser, N., Sutton, J., Snelling, K., Tunstall, N., & Petley, D. (2015). The effects of normal and shear stress wave phasing on coseismic landslide displacement. Journal of Geophysical Research, 120(6), 1009-1022. https://doi.org/10.1002/2014jf003417

Predictive models used to assess the magnitude of coseismic landslide strain accumulation in response to earthquake ground shaking typically consider slope-parallel ground accelerations only and ignore both the influence of coseismic slope-normal gro...

Quantifying the environmental controls on erosion of a hard rock cliff (2015)
Journal Article
Vann Jones (née Norman), E., Rosser, N., Brain, M., & Petley, D. (2015). Quantifying the environmental controls on erosion of a hard rock cliff. Marine Geology, 363, 230-242. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.margeo.2014.12.008

Linking hard rock coastal cliff erosion to environmental drivers is challenging, with weak relationships commonly observed in comparisons of marine and subaerial conditions to the timing and character of erosion. The aim of this paper is to bring tog... Read More about Quantifying the environmental controls on erosion of a hard rock cliff.

Quantifying the contribution of sediment compaction to late Holocene salt-marsh sea-level reconstructions, North Carolina, USA (2015)
Journal Article
Brain, M., Kemp, A., Horton, B., Culver, S., Parnell, A., & Cahill, N. (2015). Quantifying the contribution of sediment compaction to late Holocene salt-marsh sea-level reconstructions, North Carolina, USA. Quaternary Research, 83(1), 41-51. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.yqres.2014.08.003

Salt-marsh sediments provide accurate and precise reconstructions of late Holocene relative sea-level changes. However, compaction of salt-marsh stratigraphies can cause post-depositional lowering (PDL) of the samples used to reconstruct sea level, c...
