The Fragile Crescent Project (FCP): Analysis of Settlement Landscapes Using Satellite Imagery (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The Fragile Crescent Project (FCP) is analyzing the rise and decline of Bronze Age urban settlements and associated political and economic structures in the ancient Near East between ca. 3500 and 1200 BC. The Near East is a key area for urban develop... Read More about The Fragile Crescent Project (FCP): Analysis of Settlement Landscapes Using Satellite Imagery.

Assessment of sediment delivery from shallow landslides in upland terrain using 3D remote sensing. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The well-publicised floods in North Yorkshire on 19 June 2005 focussed attention on the devastating impact of flash floods in the UK uplands. The North Yorkshire floods were considered so severe that they prompted an emergency debate in Parliament (2...

Holocene history of the 79° N ice shelf reconstructed from epishelf lake and uplifted glaciomarine sediments (2023)
Journal Article

Nioghalvfjerdsbrae, or 79◦ N Glacier, is the largest marine-terminating glacier draining the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream (NEGIS). In recent years, its ∼ 70 km long fringing ice shelf (hereafter referred to as the 79◦ N ice shelf) has thinned, and...

Big enough to matter: on the frequency and chronology of giant handaxes in the British Lower Palaeolithic (2024)
Journal Article

Hypertrophic ‘giant’ handaxes are a rare component of Acheulean assemblages, yet have been central to debates relating to the social, cognitive and cultural ‘meaning’ of these enigmatic tools. The authors examine giant handaxes from the perspective o... Read More about Big enough to matter: on the frequency and chronology of giant handaxes in the British Lower Palaeolithic.

The characteristics and preservation potential of Hurricane Irma's overwash deposit in southern Florida, USA (2023)
Journal Article

Overwash deposits from tropical cyclone-induced storm surges are commonly used as modern analogues for paleo-storm studies. However, the evolution of these deposits between their time of deposition and their incorporation into the geologic record is...

Direct measurement of warm Atlantic Intermediate Water close to the grounding line of Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden (79° N) Glacier, northeast Greenland (2023)
Journal Article

The Northeast Greenland Ice Stream has recently seen significant change to its floating margins and has been identified as vulnerable to future climate warming. Inflow of warm Atlantic Intermediate Water (AIW) from the continental shelf has been obse...
