Characterising life in settlements and structures: Incorporating faecal lipid biomarkers within a multiproxy case study of a wetland village (2020)
Journal Article

Roundhouses are ubiquitous features of Iron Age landscapes across North West Europe, yet the way they were used internally is not well understood. We demonstrate how spatial analyses of steroid lipid biomarkers advances our understanding of household...

A mid to late Holocene cryptotephra framework from eastern North America (2015)
Journal Article

Holocene cryptotephras of Alaskan and Pacific Northwestern origin have recently been detected ca. 7000 km away on the east coast of North America. This study extends the emerging North American tephrochronological framework by geochemically character... Read More about A mid to late Holocene cryptotephra framework from eastern North America.

Middens, Waste Disposal, and Health at Çatalhöyük (2020)
Journal Article

The transition from a mobile hunter-gatherer lifestyle to a settled way of living is one of the most significant processes in human history. There were undeniable benefits to this process, with increased food security and longer lifespans, but there... Read More about Middens, Waste Disposal, and Health at Çatalhöyük.

Long-term increase in Antarctic Ice Sheet vulnerability driven by bed topography evolution (2020)
Journal Article

Ice sheet behavior is strongly influenced by the bed topography. However, the effect of the progressive temporal evolution of Antarctica's subglacial landscape on the sensitivity of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) to climatic and oceanic change has yet...

Rapidly-migrating and internally-generated knickpoints can control submarine channel evolution (2020)
Journal Article

Submarine channels are the primary conduits for terrestrial sediment, organic carbon, and pollutant transport to the deep sea. Submarine channels are far more difficult to monitor than rivers, and thus less well understood. Here we present 9 years of... Read More about Rapidly-migrating and internally-generated knickpoints can control submarine channel evolution.

What do models tell us about water and sediment connectivity? (2020)
Journal Article

Connectivity has been embraced by the geosciences community as a useful concept to understand and describe hydrological functioning and sediment movement through catchments. Mathematical modelling has been used for decades to quantify and predict ero... Read More about What do models tell us about water and sediment connectivity?.

Montane forest expansion at high elevations drives rapid reduction in non‐forest area, despite no change in mean forest elevation (2020)
Journal Article

Aim: At the elevational limit of forest distribution, montane forests show diverse responses to environmental change with upward shifts, increased tree density and lateral expansion reported. To enable informed analysis of the consequences forest adv... Read More about Montane forest expansion at high elevations drives rapid reduction in non‐forest area, despite no change in mean forest elevation.

Does Arctic warming reduce preservation of organic matter in Barents Sea sediments? (2020)
Journal Article

Over the last few decades, the Barents Sea experienced substantial warming, an expansion of relatively warm Atlantic water and a reduction in sea ice cover. This environmental change forces the entire Barents Sea ecosystem to adapt and restructure an... Read More about Does Arctic warming reduce preservation of organic matter in Barents Sea sediments?.

Mountains, erosion and the carbon cycle (2020)
Journal Article

Mountain building results in high erosion rates and the interaction of rocks with the atmosphere, water and life. Carbon transfers that result from increased erosion could control the evolution of Earth’s long-term climate. For decades, attention has... Read More about Mountains, erosion and the carbon cycle.

Spatial organisation and physical characteristics of large peat blocks in an upland fluvial peatland ecosystem (2020)
Journal Article

This paper assesses the size, shape and spatial organisation of organic, carbon-rich debris (peat blocks) in an upland fluvial peatland ecosystem. Peat block inventories collected in 2002 and 2012 at an alluvial reach of Trout Beck (North Pennines; U...

Integrating suspended sediment flux in large alluvial river channels: Application of a synoptic Rouse‐based model to the Irrawaddy and Salween rivers (2020)
Journal Article

A large portion of freshwater and sediment is exported to the ocean by a small number 22 of major rivers. Many of these mega-rivers are subject to substantial anthropogenic pres23 sures, which are having a major impact on water and sediment delivery...

Modelling water levels of northwestern India in response to improved irrigation use efficiency (2020)
Journal Article

The groundwater crisis in northwestern India is the result of over-exploitation of groundwater resources for irrigation. The Government of India has targeted a 20 percent improvement in irrigation groundwater use efficiency. In this perspective, and...

Empowering Women through Participatory Action Research in Community-Based Disaster Risk Reduction Efforts (2020)
Journal Article

The role of women in community-based disaster risk reduction efforts (CBDRR) is an area of limited academic research and continues to be a thorny issue for policy and practice. This research paper describes a comparative case study of participatory a...

Efficient preservation of young terrestrial organic carbon in sandy turbidity current deposits (2020)
Journal Article

Burial of terrestrial biospheric particulate organic carbon in marine sediments removes CO2 from the atmosphere, regulating climate over geologic time scales. Rivers deliver terrestrial organic carbon to the sea, while turbidity currents transport ri...

Ice-free valleys in the Neptune Range of the Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica: glacial geomorphology, geochronology and potential as palaeoenvironmental archives (2021)
Journal Article

We describe the glacial geomorphology and initial geochronology of two ice-free valley systems within the Neptune Range of the Pensacola Mountains, Antarctica. These valleys are characterized by landforms associated with formerly more expanded ice sh...

Cosmogenic exposure dating reveals limited long-term variability in erosion of a rocky coastline (2020)
Journal Article

Predicted sea-level rise and increased storminess are anticipated to lead to increases in coastal erosion. However, assessing if and how rocky coasts will respond to changes in marine conditions is difficult due to current limitations of monitoring a...

Basin inversion: A worldwide Late Cenozoic phenomenon (2020)
Journal Article

The occurrence of endorheic basins on the Tibetan Plateau, both in its Pleistocene history and (fewer in number) at the present day, has been attributed to the ‘basin-and-range’ character of the orogen; the understanding of their conversion to exorhe...

Integrating field and laboratory approaches for ripple development in mixed sand–clay–EPS (2019)
Journal Article

The shape and size of sedimentary bedforms play a key role in the reconstruction of sedimentary processes in modern and ancient environments.
