We model cliff erosion using an approach based upon the negative power law scaling properties of rockfall magnitude–frequency distributions. These are derived from an extensive, high resolution, rockfall inventory for a series of sea cliffs near Stai...

Dynamic controls on erosion and deposition on debris-flow fans (2011)
Journal Article

Debris flows are among the most hazardous and unpredictable of surface processes in mountainous areas. This is partly because debris-flow erosion and deposition are poorly understood, resulting in major uncertainties in flow behavior, channel stabili...

Mass wasting triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake is greater than orogenic growth (2011)
Journal Article
Parker, R. N., Densmore, A. L., Rosser, N. J., de Michele, M., Li, Y., Huang, R., Whadcoat, S., & Petley, D. N. (2011). Mass wasting triggered by the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake is greater than orogenic growth. Nature Geoscience, 4(7), 449-452. https://doi.org/10.1038/ngeo1154

Shallow earthquakes are the primary driver of rock uplift in mountain ranges1. However, large shallow earthquakes also trigger widespread, coseismic landslides that cause significant but spatially heterogeneous erosion2, 3, 4. The interplay between r...

Shales play an important role in many earth system processes including coastal erosion, and they form the foundations of many engineering structures. The geobiology of the interior of pyrite-containing receding shale cliffs on the coast of northeast...
