The problem of underpowered rivers (2020)
Journal Article

This study has hypothesized that for many rivers the trade‐off between flow accumulation and the decrease in slope along channel length means that stream power increases downstream and, moreover, that given the low slope angles in headwater and low‐o...

Transformation of organic matter in a Barents Sea sediment profile: coupled geochemical and microbiological processes (2020)
Journal Article

Process-based, mechanistic investigations of organic matter transformation and diagenesis directly beneath the sediment–water interface (SWI) in Arctic continental shelves are vital as these regions are at greatest risk of future change. This is in p... Read More about Transformation of organic matter in a Barents Sea sediment profile: coupled geochemical and microbiological processes.

An Abrupt Aging of Dissolved Organic Carbon in Large Arctic Rivers (2020)
Journal Article

Permafrost thaw in Arctic watersheds threatens to mobilize hitherto sequestered carbon. We examine the radiocarbon activity (F14C) of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the northern Mackenzie River basin. From 2003‐2017, DOC‐F14C signatures (1.00 ± 0....

Common Era sea-level budgets along the U.S. Atlantic coast (2021)
Journal Article

Sea-level budgets account for the contributions of processes driving sea-level change, but are predominantly focused on global-mean sea level and limited to the 20th and 21st centuries. Here we estimate site-specific sea-level budgets along the U.S.... Read More about Common Era sea-level budgets along the U.S. Atlantic coast.

Journal Article

Excavations at Black Loch of Myrton, Dumfries & Galloway are revealing the very well-preserved remains of an Iron Age settlement, the wetland context ensuring that the timber structures have remained intact and that the detritus of daily occupation s...

Parasite infection at the early farming community of Çatalhöyük (2019)
Journal Article

The early village at Çatalhöyük (7100–6150 BC) provides important evidence for the Neolithic and Chalcolithic people of central Anatolia. This article reports on the use of lipid biomarker analysis to identify human coprolites from midden deposits, a... Read More about Parasite infection at the early farming community of Çatalhöyük.

A 50‐Year Record Of Nitrate Concentrations In The Slapton Ley Catchment, Devon, United Kingdom (2021)
Journal Article

Slapton Ley, a coastal lake, is the largest natural body of fresh water in south‐west England. There was concern in the 1960s that the lake was becoming increasingly eutrophic. To quantify inputs of water, sediment and nutrients into the lake, Slapto... Read More about A 50‐Year Record Of Nitrate Concentrations In The Slapton Ley Catchment, Devon, United Kingdom.

Applied geomorphology to the assessment of natural hazards at the southern area of Pichilemu district, O’Higgins Region, Chile (2016)
Journal Article

Based on an applied geomorphology approach, the coastal area between Punta Lobos headland and Cáhuil locality (O’Higgins Region) was studied with the aim of identifying and characterizing natural hazards, and also for evaluating the specific suscepti...

Is soil organic carbon underestimated in the largest mangrove forest ecosystems? Evidence from the Bangladesh Sundarbans (2021)
Journal Article

Globally, mangroves sequester a large amount of carbon into the sediments, although spatial heterogeneity exists owing to a wide variety of local, regional, and global controls. Rapid environmental and climate change, including increasing sea-level r... Read More about Is soil organic carbon underestimated in the largest mangrove forest ecosystems? Evidence from the Bangladesh Sundarbans.

Kinematic analysis of sea cliff stability using UAV photogrammetry (2017)
Journal Article

Erosion and slope instability poses a significant hazard to communities and infrastructure located in coastal areas. We use point cloud and spectral data derived from close-range digital photogrammetry to perform a kinematic analysis of chalk sea cli...

Spatial variation of hydroclimate in north-eastern North America during the last millennium (2021)
Journal Article

Climatic expressions of the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA) and the Little Ice Age (LIA) vary regionally, with reconstructions often depicting complex spatial patterns of temperature and precipitation change. The characterisation of these spatial patt... Read More about Spatial variation of hydroclimate in north-eastern North America during the last millennium.

Timing and amount of southern Cascadia earthquake subsidence over the past 1700 years at northern Humboldt Bay, California, USA (2021)
Journal Article

Stratigraphic, lithologic, foraminiferal, and radiocarbon analyses indicate that at least four abrupt mud-over-peat contacts are recorded across three sites (Jacoby Creek, McDaniel Creek, and Mad River Slough) in northern Humboldt Bay, California, US...

Toward an integrative geological and geophysical view of Cascadia subduction zone earthquakes (2021)
Journal Article

The Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) is an exceptional geologic environment for recording evidence of land-level changes, tsunamis, and ground motion that reveals at least 19 great megathrust earthquakes over the past 10 kyr. Such earthquakes are among... Read More about Toward an integrative geological and geophysical view of Cascadia subduction zone earthquakes.

Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Forest Edge Degradation: Gold Mining in Guyana as a Case Study (2020)
Journal Article

Background and Methods: Degradation of forests in developing countries results from multiple activities and is perceived to be a key source of greenhouse gas emissions, yet there are not reliable methodologies to measure and monitor emissions from al...

How urbanization enhanced exposure to climate risks in the Pacific: A case study in the Republic of Palau (2020)
Journal Article

The increasing risk of coastal flooding and water shortage in Pacific Island Countries is usually attributed to climate change hazards. This ignores other risk components, exposure and vulnerability, of which a major contributor is urbanization. We d...

Tephra analysis in ombrotrophic peatlands: A geochemical comparison of acid digestion and density separation techniques (2015)
Journal Article

Ombrotrophic peatlands often lack any substantial local mineral component and therefore present exceptional opportunities for the extraction and identification of tephra horizons.
