Future sea level rise dominates changes in worst case extreme sea levels along the global coastline by 2100 (2023)
Journal Article
We provide the magnitude of a worst case scenario for extreme sea levels (ESLs) along the global coastline by 2100. This worst case scenario for ESLs is calculated as a combination of sea surface height associated with storm surge and wave (100 year...

Stata tip 151: Puzzling out some logical operators (2023)
Journal Article
The logical operators & (“and”) and | (“or”) can sometimes be tricky in statistical software such as Stata. They are extremely useful, so you need to understand thoroughly how they work. Any trickiness arises mostly in translating from ordinary langu... Read More about Stata tip 151: Puzzling out some logical operators.
Fluvial processes and landforms (2022)
Journal Article
The period 1965–2000 saw a sustained increase in research and publications on fluvial processes and landforms. The trend towards generalization and/or mechanistic understanding, rather than site-specific history, continued. Research was multidiscipli... Read More about Fluvial processes and landforms.
(Dis)connectivity in hydro-geomorphic systems - emerging concepts and their applications (2023)
Journal Article
In geomorphology, connectivity has emerged as a framework for understanding the transfer of water and sediment through landscapes. Over the past decade, sessions on (dis)connectivity at the General Assembly of the European Geosciences Union (EGU), an...

Does sand promote or hinder the mobility of cohesive sediment gravity flows? (2022)
Journal Article
Sediment gravity flows exhibit a large range of flow behaviours, making their flow dynamics hard to predict and the resulting deposits a challenge to interpret. Cohesive sediment gravity flows containing clay are particularly complex, as their behavi... Read More about Does sand promote or hinder the mobility of cohesive sediment gravity flows?.
Glacial–interglacial cycles in the south-central and southeastern Pyrenees since ~180 ka (NE Spain–Andorra–S France) (2022)
Journal Article
This study uses luminescence and 14C accelerator mass spectrometry procedures to date relevant glaciofluvial and glacial deposits from the south-central and southeastern Pyrenees (Andorra–France–Spain). We distinguish two types of end-moraine complex... Read More about Glacial–interglacial cycles in the south-central and southeastern Pyrenees since ~180 ka (NE Spain–Andorra–S France).
Slowdown of Shirase Glacier, East Antarctica, caused by strengthening alongshore winds (2022)
Journal Article
Around large parts of West Antarctica and in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, increased wind-forced intrusions of modified Circumpolar Deep Water (mCDW) onto the continental shelf have been associated with mass loss over the last few decades. Despite co... Read More about Slowdown of Shirase Glacier, East Antarctica, caused by strengthening alongshore winds.
The impact of Holocene deglaciation and glacial dynamics on the landscapes and geomorphology of Potter Peninsula, King George Island (Isla 25 Mayo), NW Antarctic Peninsula (2023)
Journal Article
The timing and impact of deglaciation and Holocene readvances on the terrestrial continental margins of the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) have been well-studied but are still debated. Potter Peninsula on King George Island (KGI) (Isla 25 de Mayo), South S...

Speaking Stata: Automating axis labels: Nice numbers and transformed scales (2022)
Journal Article
Two common problems with graph axis labels are to decide in advance on some “nice” numbers to use on one or both axes and to show particular labels on some transformed scale. In this column, I discuss the nicelabels and mylabels commands, which addre... Read More about Speaking Stata: Automating axis labels: Nice numbers and transformed scales.

The global transformation of geomorphology (2022)
Journal Article
This chapter reviews the various developments in geomorphology in terms of institutions, journals, textbooks, research stations, etc. Among the institutions discussed are the Binghamton Geomorphology Symposium, the Geological Society of America Quate...

The geomorphological record of an ice stream to ice shelf transition in Northeast Greenland (2023)
Journal Article
Understanding ice stream dynamics over decadal to millennial timescales is crucial for improving numerical model projections of ice sheet behaviour and future ice loss. In marine-terminating settings, ice shelves play a critical role in controlling i... Read More about The geomorphological record of an ice stream to ice shelf transition in Northeast Greenland.
Mid-Late Quaternary Fluvial Archives near the Margin of the MIS 12 Glaciation in Southern East Anglia, UK: Amalgamation of Multi-Disciplinary and Citizen-Science Data Sources (2022)
Journal Article
This paper presents an updated geological reconstruction of the Quaternary evolution of the River Thames at its downstream extremities, close to the North Sea coast, based on new data from multi-disciplinary and citizen-science sources. In this area,...

Constraining the Carbon Budget of Peat Ecosystems: Application of Stoichiometry and Enthalpy Balances (2022)
Journal Article
We consider how the stoichiometry and energy content of organic matter reservoirs and fluxes through and from a peatland enable the fluxes and storage of carbon within a peatland to be constrained. We include the elemental composition of the above- a... Read More about Constraining the Carbon Budget of Peat Ecosystems: Application of Stoichiometry and Enthalpy Balances.
Within-region replication of late Holocene relative sea-level change: an example from southern New England, United States (2022)
Journal Article
Tide-gauge measurements in the western North Atlantic Ocean show coherent, multi-decadal relative sea-level (RSL) trends across multiple spatial scales. Proxy reconstructions developed from salt-marsh sediment can extend this instrumental record. How...

Resolving uncertainties in foraminifera-based relative sea-level reconstruction: a case study from southern New Zealand (2023)
Journal Article
Since the pioneering work of David Scott and others in the 1970s and 1980s, foraminifera have been used to develop precise sea-level reconstructions from salt marshes around the world. In New Zealand, reconstructions feature rapid rates of sea-level...

Reconstructing sedimentary processes in a Permian channel–lobe transition zone: an outcrop study in the Karoo Basin, South Africa (2022)
Journal Article
Turbidity currents commonly bypass sediment in submarine channels on the continental slope, and deposit sediment lobes farther down-dip on the flat and unconfined abyssal plain. Seafloor and outcrop data have shown that the transition from bypass to...

Public Health Preparedness for Extreme Heat Events (2023)
Journal Article
Heat is a dangerous hazard that causes acute heat illness, chronic disease exacerbations, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and a range of injuries. Risks are highest during extreme heat events (EHEs), which challenge the capacity of health systems and oth... Read More about Public Health Preparedness for Extreme Heat Events.
