Climate and Rivers (2019)
Journal Article

Over the last few decades as hydrologists have slowly raised their line of sight above the watershed boundary, it has become increasingly recognised that what happens in the atmosphere, as a major source of moisture for the terrestrial branch of the... Read More about Climate and Rivers.

The relationship between drainage density, erosion rate, and hilltop curvature: Implications for sediment transport processes (2016)
Journal Article

Drainage density is a fundamental landscape metric describing the extent of the fluvial network. We compare the relationship between drainage density (Dd) and erosion rate (E) using the Channel‐Hillslope Integrated Landscape Development (CHILD) numer...

A segmentation approach for the reproducible extraction and quantification of knickpoints from river long profiles (2019)
Journal Article

Changes in the steepness of river profiles or abrupt vertical steps (i.e. waterfalls) are thought to be indicative of changes in erosion rates, lithology or other factors that affect landscape evolution. These changes are referred to as knickpoints o... Read More about A segmentation approach for the reproducible extraction and quantification of knickpoints from river long profiles.

Daily bathymetric surveys document how stratigraphy is built and its extreme incompleteness in submarine channels (2019)
Journal Article

Turbidity currents are powerful flows of sediment that pose a hazard to critical seafloor infrastructure and transport globally important amounts of sediment to the deep sea. Due to challenges of direct monitoring, we typically rely on their deposits...

Intercomparison of Evapotranspiration Over the Savannah Volta Basin in West Africa Using Remote Sensing Data (2008)
Journal Article

This paper compares evapotranspiration estimates from two complementary satellite sensors – NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and ESA’s ENVISAT Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) over the savannah area of the...

Quantification of node importance in rain gauge network: influence of temporal resolution and rain gauge density (2020)
Journal Article

Rain gauge network is important for collecting rainfall information efectively and efciently. Rain gauge networks have been studied for several decades from a range of hydrological perspectives, where rain gauges with unique or non-repeating informat...

Controls on the formation of turbidity current channels associated with marine-terminating glaciers and ice sheets (2019)
Journal Article

Submarine channels, and the sediment density flows which form them, act as conduits for the transport of sediment, macro-nutrients, fresher water and organic matter from the coast to the deep sea. These systems are therefore significant pathways for... Read More about Controls on the formation of turbidity current channels associated with marine-terminating glaciers and ice sheets.

The importance of sewage effluent discharge in the export of dissolved organic carbon from United Kingdom rivers (2019)
Journal Article

The flux of fluvial carbon from the terrestrial biosphere to the world's oceans is known to be an important component of the global carbon cycle but within this pathway the flux and return of carbon to the river network via sewage effluent has not be...

Using lake sediment archives to improve understanding of flood magnitude and frequency: recent extreme flooding in northwest UK (2019)
Journal Article

We present the first quantitative reconstruction of palaeofloods using lake sediments for the UK and show that for a large catchment in NW England the cluster of devastating floods from 1990 to present is without precedent in this 558‐year palaeo‐rec...

Carbon dioxide emissions by rock organic carbon oxidation and the net geochemical carbon budget of the Mackenzie River Basin (2019)
Journal Article

The exposure of organic carbon in rocks to oxidative weathering can release carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere and consume atmospheric oxygen. Alongside volcanism, metamorphism, and the weathering of carbonate minerals by sulfuric acid, this is a...

An integrated process‐based model of flutes and tool marks in deep‐water environments: Implications for palaeohydraulics, the Bouma sequence and hybrid event beds (2020)
Journal Article

Flutes and tool marks are commonly observed sedimentary structures on the bases of sandstones in deep‐water successions. These sole structures are universally used as palaeocurrent indicators but, in sharp contrast to most sedimentary structures, the...
