The fate of suspended sediment and particulate organic carbon in transit through the channels of a river catchment (2017)
Journal Article

Particulate organic matter (POM) transiting through rivers could be lost to overbank storage, stored in‐channel, added to by erosion or autochthonous production, or turned over to release greenhouse gases to the atmosphere (either while in the water...

Stakeholders’ Perception of the Relevance of Water and Sediment Connectivity in Water and Land Management (2018)
Journal Article

Using concepts of connectivity in challenges regarding land and water management (flooding, erosion, nutrient leaching, landslides) can only be fully harnessed if knowledge is communicated well between scientists and stakeholders. Proper communicatio... Read More about Stakeholders’ Perception of the Relevance of Water and Sediment Connectivity in Water and Land Management.

Eustatic sea-level controls on the flushing of a shelf-incising submarine canyon (2017)
Journal Article

Turbidity currents are the principal processes responsible for carving submarine canyons and maintaining them over geological time scales.

Communicating Risks to Infrastructure Due to Soil Erosion: A Bottom-Up Approach (2018)
Journal Article

Soil erosion is a major problem worldwide, affecting natural, agricultural and urban environments through its impact on flood risk, water quality, loss of topsoil, eutrophication of water bodies, sedimentation of waterways and damage to infrastructur...

Tracing groundwater recharge sources in the northwestern Indian alluvial aquifer using water isotopes (delta-18O, delta-2H, and 3H) (2018)
Journal Article

Rapid groundwater depletion from the northwestern Indian aquifer system in the western Indo-Gangetic basin has raised serious concerns over the sustainability of groundwater and the livelihoods that depend on it. Sustainable management of this aquife... Read More about Tracing groundwater recharge sources in the northwestern Indian alluvial aquifer using water isotopes (delta-18O, delta-2H, and 3H).

Identifying mechanisms of shore platform erosion using Structure-from-Motion (SfM) photogrammetry (2019)
Journal Article

Shore platforms control wave energy transformation which, in turn, controls energy delivery to the cliff toe and nearshore sediment transport. Insight into shore platform erosion rates has conventionally been constrained at mm-scales using micro-eros...

iceTEA: Tools for plotting and analysing cosmogenic-nuclide surface-exposure data from former ice margins (2019)
Journal Article

Cosmogenic-nuclide surface-exposure data provide important constraints on the thickness, extent and behaviour of ice masses in the geological past. A number of online calculators provide the cosmogenic nuclide community with a means of easily calcula...

The relationship between ice sheets and submarine mass movements in the Nordic Seas during the Quaternary (2018)
Journal Article

Quaternary evolution of high-latitude margins has, to a large degree been shaped by the advance and retreat of ice sheets. Our understanding of these margins and the role of ice sheets is predominantly derived from the polar North Atlantic during the...

Avulsions and the spatio-temporal evolution of debris-flow fans (2017)
Journal Article

Debris flows are water-laden masses of sediment that move rapidly through channel networks and over alluvial fans, where they can devastate people and property. Episodic shifts in the position of a debris-flow channel, termed avulsions, are critical... Read More about Avulsions and the spatio-temporal evolution of debris-flow fans.

Better models are more effectively connected models (2018)
Journal Article

Water- and sediment-transfer models are commonly used to explain or predict patterns in the landscape at scales different from those at which observations are available. These patterns are often the result of emergent properties that occur because pr... Read More about Better models are more effectively connected models.

Multi-stage volcanic island flank collapses with coeval explosive caldera-forming eruptions (2018)
Journal Article

Volcanic flank collapses and explosive eruptions are among the largest and most destructive processes on Earth. Events at Mount St. Helens in May 1980 demonstrated how a relatively small (300 km3), but can also occur in complex multiple stages. Here,...
