Spatial organisation and physical characteristics of large peat blocks in an upland fluvial peatland ecosystem (2020)
Journal Article
Boothroyd, R. J., & Warburton, J. (2020). Spatial organisation and physical characteristics of large peat blocks in an upland fluvial peatland ecosystem. Geomorphology, 370, Article 107397. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2020.107397

This paper assesses the size, shape and spatial organisation of organic, carbon-rich debris (peat blocks) in an upland fluvial peatland ecosystem. Peat block inventories collected in 2002 and 2012 at an alluvial reach of Trout Beck (North Pennines; U...

Peat hazards: compression and failure (2020)
Book Chapter
Warburton, J. (2020). Peat hazards: compression and failure. In D. Giles, & J. Griffiths (Eds.), Geological hazards in the UK : their occurrence, monitoring and mitigation (243-257). The Geological Society. https://doi.org/10.1144/egsp29.9

Peat is a low density, highly compressible soil that occurs at the surface or may be buried at depth. Peat is essentially an organic, non-mineral soil resulting from the decay of organic matter. In the UK peat deposits are widespread occurring in a w... Read More about Peat hazards: compression and failure.

A catchment scale assessment of patterns and controls of historic 2D river planform adjustment (2020)
Journal Article
Joyce, H. M., Warburton, J., & Hardy, R. J. (2020). A catchment scale assessment of patterns and controls of historic 2D river planform adjustment. Geomorphology, 354, Article 107046. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2020.107046

The supply, transfer and deposition of sediment from channel headwaters to lowland sinks, is a fundamental process governing upland catchment geomorphology, and can begin to be understood by quantifying 2D river planform adjustments over time. This p... Read More about A catchment scale assessment of patterns and controls of historic 2D river planform adjustment.
