The Falkland Islands palaeoecological response to millennial scale climate perturbations during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition: implications for future vegetation stability in Southern Ocean islands (2019)
Journal Article
Scaife, R., Long, A., Monteath, A., Hughes, P., Bentley, M., & Stone, P. (2019). The Falkland Islands palaeoecological response to millennial scale climate perturbations during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition: implications for future vegetation stability in Southern Ocean islands. Journal of Quaternary Science, 34(8), 609-620. https://doi.org/10.1002/jqs.3150

Oceanic island flora is vulnerable to future climate warming, which is likely to promote changes in vegetation composition, and invasion of non‐native species. Sub‐Antarctic islands are predicted to experience rapid warming during the next century; t...

Lack of evidence for a substantial sea-level fluctuation within the Last Interglacial (2018)
Journal Article
Barlow, N., McClymont, E., Whitehouse, P., Stokes, C., Jamieson, S., Woodroffe, S., …Sanchez-Montes, M. (2018). Lack of evidence for a substantial sea-level fluctuation within the Last Interglacial. Nature Geoscience, 11, 627-634. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41561-018-0195-4

During the Last Interglacial, global mean sea level reached approximately 6 to 9 m above the present level. This period of high sea level may have been punctuated by a fall of more than 4 m, but a cause for such a widespread sea-level fall has been e...

Contrasting records of sea-level change in the eastern and western North Atlantic during the last 300 years (2014)
Journal Article
Long, A., Barlow, N., Gehrels, W., Saher, M., Woodworth, P., Scaife, R., …Cahill, N. (2014). Contrasting records of sea-level change in the eastern and western North Atlantic during the last 300 years. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 388, 110-122. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2013.11.012

We present a new 300-year sea-level reconstruction from a salt marsh on the Isle of Wight (central English Channel, UK) that we compare to other salt-marsh and long tide-gauge records to examine spatial and temporal variability in sea-level change in...

Salt marshes as late Holocene tide gauges (2013)
Journal Article
Barlow, N., Shennan, I., Long, A., Gehrels, W., Saher, M., Woodroffe, S., & Hillier, C. (2013). Salt marshes as late Holocene tide gauges. Global and Planetary Change, 106, 90-110. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gloplacha.2013.03.003

Understanding late Holocene to present relative sea-level changes at centennial or sub-centennial scales requires geological records that dovetail with the instrumental era. Salt marsh sediments are one of the most reliable geological tide gauges. In... Read More about Salt marshes as late Holocene tide gauges.

Modelling the effects of sediment compaction on salt marsh reconstructions of recent sea-level rise (2012)
Journal Article
Brain, M., Long, A., Woodroffe, S., Petley, D., Milledge, D., & Parnell, A. (2012). Modelling the effects of sediment compaction on salt marsh reconstructions of recent sea-level rise. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 345-348, 180-193. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2012.06.045

This paper quantifies the potential influence of sediment compaction on the magnitude of nineteenth and twentieth century sea-level rise, as reconstructed from salt marsh sediments. We firstly develop a database of the physical and compression proper... Read More about Modelling the effects of sediment compaction on salt marsh reconstructions of recent sea-level rise.

Relative sea-level response to Little Ice Age ice mass change in south central Alaska: Reconciling model predictions and geological evidence (2012)
Journal Article
Barlow, N., Shennan, I., & Long, A. (2012). Relative sea-level response to Little Ice Age ice mass change in south central Alaska: Reconciling model predictions and geological evidence. Earth and Planetary Science Letters, 315-316, 62-75. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl.2011.09.048

Integration of geological data and glacio-isostatic adjustment (GIA) modelling shows that it is possible to decouple complex mechanisms of relative sea-level (RSL) change in a tectonically active glacial environment. We model a simplest solution in w... Read More about Relative sea-level response to Little Ice Age ice mass change in south central Alaska: Reconciling model predictions and geological evidence.

Compression behaviour of minerogenic low energy intertidal sediments (2010)
Journal Article
Brain, M. J., Long, A. J., Petley, D. N., Horton, B. P., & Allison, R. J. (2011). Compression behaviour of minerogenic low energy intertidal sediments. Sedimentary Geology, 233(1-4), 28-41. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.sedgeo.2010.10.005

Existing geotechnical approaches that describe volumetric changes in intertidal sediments in response to applied vertical effective stresses are limited by a lack of empirical research into their one-dimensional compression behaviour. In this paper w... Read More about Compression behaviour of minerogenic low energy intertidal sediments.

Combined digital photogrammetry and time-of-flight laser scanning for monitoring cliff evolution (2005)
Journal Article
Lim, M., Petley, D. N., Rosser, N. J., Allison, R. J., Long, A. J., & Pybus, D. (2005). Combined digital photogrammetry and time-of-flight laser scanning for monitoring cliff evolution. The Photogrammetric Record, 20(110), 109-129. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1477-9730.2005.00315.x

Although cliffs form approximately 75% of the world's coastline, the understanding of the processes through which they evolve remains limited because of a lack of quantitative data on the morphological changes they undergo. In this paper the combinat... Read More about Combined digital photogrammetry and time-of-flight laser scanning for monitoring cliff evolution.
