Organic Pollutants, Heavy Metals and Toxicity in Oil Spill impacted Salt Marsh Sediment Cores, Staten Island, New York City, USA (2020)
Journal Article

Sediment cores from Staten Island's salt marsh contain multiple historical oil spill events that impact ecological health. Microtox solid phase bioassay indicated moderate to high toxicity. Multiple spikes of TPH (6524 to 9586 mg/kg) and Σ16 PAH (15....

How did that get there? Understanding sediment transport and accumulation rates in agricultural landscapes using the ESTTraP agent-based model (2019)
Journal Article

The 15th–18th century CE site of Engaruka in Tanzania is often described as primarily comprising drystone agricultural terraces, but it is now known that many of these former farming plots are not terraces per se, but are instead sediment traps. Stra... Read More about How did that get there? Understanding sediment transport and accumulation rates in agricultural landscapes using the ESTTraP agent-based model.

Mixed sand–mud bedforms produced by transient turbulent flows in the fringe of submarine fans: Indicators of flow transformation (2020)
Journal Article

The fringe of fine‐grained deep‐marine systems often exhibits complex sedimentary facies and facies associations, because the presence of clay promotes the development of transient turbulent flows with complex depositional properties. Relatively litt... Read More about Mixed sand–mud bedforms produced by transient turbulent flows in the fringe of submarine fans: Indicators of flow transformation.

Sediment and organic carbon transport and deposition driven by internal tides along Monterey Canyon, offshore California (2019)
Journal Article

Submarine canyons are globally important conduits for sediment and organic carbon transport into the deep sea. Using a novel dataset from Monterey Canyon, offshore central California, that includes an extensive array of water column sampling devices,...

Differences in channel and hillslope geometry record a migrating uplift wave at the Mendocino Triple Junction (2019)
Journal Article

Tectonic plate motion, and the resulting change in land surface elevation, has been shown to have a fundamental impact on landscape morphology. Changes to uplift rates can drive a response in fluvial channels, which then drives changes to hillslopes....

Disaster risk construction in the progressive consolidation of informal settlements: Iquique and Puerto Montt (Chile) case studies (2015)
Journal Article

The relationship between informality and vulnerability, common in Latin American communities, is analyzed using data from two medium-sized cities in the Chilean urban system as case studies: Iquique, located in the northern desert zone of the country... Read More about Disaster risk construction in the progressive consolidation of informal settlements: Iquique and Puerto Montt (Chile) case studies.

Froude supercritical flow processes and sedimentary structures:New insights from experiments with a wide range of grain sizes (2019)
Journal Article

Recognition of Froude supercritical flow deposits in environments that range from rivers to the ocean floor has triggered a surge of interest in their flow processes, bedforms and sedimentary structures. Interpreting these supercritical flow deposits... Read More about Froude supercritical flow processes and sedimentary structures:New insights from experiments with a wide range of grain sizes.
