Comparability of cirque size and shape measures between regions and between researchers (2016)
Journal Article
Evans, I., & Cox, N. (2017). Comparability of cirque size and shape measures between regions and between researchers. Zeitschrift für Geomorphologie, 61(2), 81-103. https://doi.org/10.1127/zfg_suppl/2016/0329

When comparably defined, cirque size and shape vary moderately but significantly between regions. For nine spatial divisions in three countries, differences in vertical dimensions (height range, amplitude, wall height) are greater than those in horiz...

Rapid, climate-driven changes in outlet glaciers on the Pacific coast of East Antarctica (2013)
Journal Article
Miles, B., Stokes, C., Vieli, A., & Cox, N. (2013). Rapid, climate-driven changes in outlet glaciers on the Pacific coast of East Antarctica. Nature, 500(7464), 563-566. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature12382

Observations of ocean-terminating outlet glaciers in Greenland and West Antarctica1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 indicate that their contribution to sea level is accelerating as a result of increased velocity, thinning and retreat7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Thinning has also... Read More about Rapid, climate-driven changes in outlet glaciers on the Pacific coast of East Antarctica.

Kernel estimation as a basic tool for geomorphological data analysis (2007)
Journal Article
Cox, N. (2007). Kernel estimation as a basic tool for geomorphological data analysis. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 32(12), 1902-1912. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1518

Kernel estimation, based on the convolution of a probability density function with a set of magnitudes or event dates, provides tuneable smooth pictures of probability density functions and event intensity functions. Such pictures are in several resp... Read More about Kernel estimation as a basic tool for geomorphological data analysis.

Kinds and problems of geomorphological explanation (2007)
Journal Article
Cox, N. (2007). Kinds and problems of geomorphological explanation. Geomorphology, 88(1-2), 46-56. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2006.10.009

What characterises satisfactory explanations in geomorphology is a key methodological question deserving continued analysis. In turn it raises the issue of the role played by methodology within the science. At its best, methodology can provide helpfu... Read More about Kinds and problems of geomorphological explanation.

Fitting concentration and load rating curves with generalised linear models (2007)
Journal Article
Cox, N., Warburton, J., Armstrong, A., & Holliday, V. (2008). Fitting concentration and load rating curves with generalised linear models. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 33(1), 25-39. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.1523

Generalized linear models may be used as a systematic and flexible alternative to existing practices in fitting sediment or solute concentration and load rating curves. Through widely available statistical software they offer a one-step solution to t... Read More about Fitting concentration and load rating curves with generalised linear models.

The relationship between rainfall inputs and flood generation in south-east Spain (2007)
Journal Article
Bracken, L., Cox, N., & Shannon, J. (2008). The relationship between rainfall inputs and flood generation in south-east Spain. Hydrological Processes, 22(5), 683-696. https://doi.org/10.1002/hyp.6641

Rainfall and flood data are relatively sparse in semi-arid areas; hence there have been relatively few investigations into the relationships between rainfall inputs and flood generation in these environments. Previous work has shown that flood proper... Read More about The relationship between rainfall inputs and flood generation in south-east Spain.
