Predicting flow resistance in rough‐bed rivers from topographic roughness: Review and open questions (2024)
Journal Article
Ferguson, R. I., Hardy, R. J., Hodge, R. A., Houseago, R. C., Yager, E. M., & Yamasaki, T. N. (online). Predicting flow resistance in rough‐bed rivers from topographic roughness: Review and open questions. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.6016

Most ways of predicting flow resistance in shallow rivers with a partial or complete cover of coarse sediment use a bed‐sediment grain diameter as a roughness length scale. However, beds with the same grain size distribution differ in roughness and f... Read More about Predicting flow resistance in rough‐bed rivers from topographic roughness: Review and open questions.

Microplastic trapping efficiency and hydrodynamics in model coral reefs: A physical experimental investigation (2023)
Journal Article
Mendrik, F., Houseago, R. C., Hackney, C. R., & Parsons, D. R. (2024). Microplastic trapping efficiency and hydrodynamics in model coral reefs: A physical experimental investigation. Environmental Pollution, 342, Article 123094. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2023.123094

Coastal ecosystems, such as coral reefs, are vulnerable to microplastic pollution input from proximal riverine and shoreline sources. However, deposition, retention, and transport processes are largely unevaluated, especially in relation to hydrodyna...
