Salt Marsh Response to Inlet Switch-Induced Increases in Tidal Inundation (2022)
Journal Article

There is widespread concern that rapidly rising sea levels may drown salt marshes by exceeding the rate at which these important ecosystems can build elevation. A significant fraction of marshes reside within backbarrier estuaries, yet little attenti... Read More about Salt Marsh Response to Inlet Switch-Induced Increases in Tidal Inundation.

The influence of bedrock river morphology and alluvial cover on gravel entrainment: Part 2. Modelling critical shear stress (2022)
Journal Article

The critical shear stress (τc) at which grains are entrained on a bedrock surface is important for determining how bedrock rivers evolve through changes in sediment cover and bedrock erosion. The difference in τc for grains on bedrock and alluvial su... Read More about The influence of bedrock river morphology and alluvial cover on gravel entrainment: Part 2. Modelling critical shear stress.

An ensemble of Antarctic deglacial simulations constrained by geological observations (2022)
Journal Article

The Antarctic ice sheet has the potential to make a significant contribution to future sea-level rise. Understanding this potential and making projections of future ice sheet mass change requires use of numerical models. Confidence in model projectio...

Implications of anomalous relative sea-level rise for the peopling of Remote Oceania (2022)
Journal Article

Beginning ~3,500 to 3,300 y B.P., humans voyaged into Remote Oceania. Radiocarbon-dated archaeological evidence coupled with cultural, linguistic, and genetic traits indicates two primary migration routes: a Southern Hemisphere and a Northern Hemisph...

Carbon and sediment fluxes inhibited in the submarine Congo Canyon by landslide-damming (2022)
Journal Article

Landslide-dams, which are often transient, can strongly affect the geomorphology, and sediment and geochemical fluxes, within subaerial fluvial systems. The potential occurrence and impact of analogous landslide-dams in submarine canyons has, however...

Modelling post-earthquake cascading hazards: Changing patterns of landslide runout following the 2015 Gorkha earthquake, Nepal (2022)
Journal Article

Coseismic landslides represent the first stage of a broader cascading sequence of geohazards associated with high-magnitude continental earthquakes, with the subsequent remobilization of coseismic landslide debris posing a long-term post-seismic lega...

Is water quality in British rivers “better than at any time since the end of the Industrial Revolution”? (2022)
Journal Article

We explore the oft-repeated claim that river water quality in Great Britain is “better now than at any time since the Industrial Revolution”. We review available data and ancillary evidence for seven different categories of water pollutants: (i) bioc...

The Influence of Three‐Dimensional Topography on Turbulent Flow Structures Over Dunes in Unidirectional Flows (2021)
Journal Article

Dunes are the most prevalent bedform present in sand-bedded rivers and their morphology typically comprises multiple scales of three-dimensional topography. However, our understanding of flow over dunes is predicated largely on two-dimensional models...

New integrated molecular approaches for understanding lake settlements in NW Europe (2022)
Journal Article

Lake settlements, particularly crannogs, pose several contradictions – visible yet inaccessible, widespread yet geographically restricted, persistent yet vulnerable. To further our understanding, we have developed the integrated use of palaeolimnolog... Read More about New integrated molecular approaches for understanding lake settlements in NW Europe.

Improving above ground biomass estimates of Southern Africa dryland forests by combining Sentinel-1 SAR and Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery. (2022)
Journal Article

Having the ability to make accurate assessments of above ground biomass (AGB) at high spatial resolution is invaluable for the management of dryland forest resources in areas at risk from deforestation, forest degradation pressure and climate change...

Climate Change, Grape Phenology and Frost Risk in Southeast England (2022)
Journal Article

Background and Aims: Cultivation of grapevines in England is expected to benefit under climate change. Yet assessments of future wine-climates remain undeveloped. Accordingly, this study assesses how climate change might modify frost risk for Chardon... Read More about Climate Change, Grape Phenology and Frost Risk in Southeast England.

Developing Transdisciplinary Approaches to Sustainability Challenges: The Need to Model Socio-Environmental Systems in the Longue Durée (2022)
Journal Article

Human beings are an active component of every terrestrial ecosystem on Earth. Although our local impact on the evolution of these ecosystems has been undeniable and extensively documented, it remains unclear precisely how our activities are altering...

A 5000-year record of relative sea-level change in New Jersey, USA (2022)
Journal Article

Stratigraphic data from salt marshes provide accurate reconstructions of Holocene relative sea level (RSL) change and necessary constraints to models of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), which is the dominant cause of late Holocene RSL rise along t...

Identification of floodwater source areas in Nepal using SCIMAP‐Flood (2022)
Journal Article

Practical approaches for managing flooding from fluvial sources are moving away from mitigation solely at the point of impact and towards integrated catchment management. This considers the source areas, flow pathways of floodwaters and the locations... Read More about Identification of floodwater source areas in Nepal using SCIMAP‐Flood.

Longest sediment flows yet measured show how major rivers connect efficiently to deep sea (2022)
Journal Article

Here we show how major rivers can efficiently connect to the deep-sea, by analysing the longest runout sediment flows (of any type) yet measured in action on Earth. These seafloor turbidity currents originated from the Congo River-mouth, with one flo... Read More about Longest sediment flows yet measured show how major rivers connect efficiently to deep sea.

Relative sea-level change in South Florida during the past ~5 ka (2022)
Journal Article

A paucity of detailed relative sea-level (RSL) reconstructions from low latitudes hinders efforts to understand the global, regional, and local processes that cause RSL change. We reconstruct RSL change during the past ~5 ka using cores of mangrove p... Read More about Relative sea-level change in South Florida during the past ~5 ka.

The influence of bedrock river morphology and alluvial cover on gravel entrainment: Part 1. Pivot angles and surface roughness (2022)
Journal Article

Sediment entrainment in bedrock rivers is a key process for river incision and landscape evolution. Bedrock riverbeds are typically comprised of both exposed bedrock and alluvial patches, meaning grains can be entrained from positions on both surface...
