Seismic cycles, earthquakes, landslides and sediment fluxes: Linking tectonics to surface processes using a reduced-complexity model (2019)
Journal Article

In tectonically active mountain ranges, landslides triggered by earthquakes mobilise large volumes of sediment that affect river dynamics. This sediment delivery can cause downstream changes in river geometry and transport capacity that affect the ri...

A New Method for Large-Scale Landslide Classification from Satellite Radar (2019)
Journal Article

Following a large continental earthquake, information on the spatial distribution of triggered landslides is required as quickly as possible for use in emergency response coordination.

Novel acoustic method provides first detailed measurements of sediment concentration structure within submarine turbidity currents (2020)
Journal Article

Turbidity currents transport prodigious volumes of sediment to the deep‐sea. But there are very few direct measurements from oceanic turbidity currents, ensuring they are poorly understood. Recent studies have used acoustic Doppler current profilers...

Identifying and mapping very small (<0.5 km2) mountain glaciers on coarse to high-resolution imagery (2019)
Journal Article

Small mountain glaciers are an important part of the cryosphere and tend to respond rapidly to climate warming. Historically, mapping very small glaciers (generally considered to be

Fan‐surface evidence for debris‐flow avulsion controls and probabilities, Saline Valley, California (2019)
Journal Article

Debris‐flow fans form by shifts of the active channel, termed avulsions. Field and experimental evidence suggest that debris‐flow avulsions may be induced by depositional lobes that locally plug a channel or super‐elevation of the channel bed above t...

Subglacial geology and geomorphology of the Pensacola-Pole Basin, East Antarctica (2019)
Journal Article

The East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) is underlain by a series of low‐lying subglacial sedimentary basins. The extent, geology and basal topography of these sedimentary basins are important boundary conditions governing the dynamics of the overlying ic...

Biomediation of submarine sediment gravity flow dynamics (2019)
Journal Article

Sediment gravity flows are the primary process by which sediment and organic carbon are transported from the continental margin to the deep ocean. Up to 40% of the total marine organic carbon pool is represented by cohesive extracellular polymeric su... Read More about Biomediation of submarine sediment gravity flow dynamics.

A Remote Sensing Approach for Mapping the Development of Ancient Water Management in the Near East (2018)
Journal Article

We present a novel approach that uses remote sensing to record and reconstruct traces of ancient water management throughout the whole region of Northern Mesopotamia, an area where modern agriculture and warfare has had a severe impact on the surviva...

Understanding urban flood vulnerability and resilience: a case study of Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia (2020)
Journal Article

Malaysia is frequently affected by the annual flooding event caused by the seasonal monsoon which accounts for significant losses. Flood risk, exposure and damage potential are increasing, causing the level of poverty and vulnerability to rise. The a...

Development of a vector-based 3D grain entrainment model with application to X-ray computed tomography (XCT) scanned riverbed sediment (2019)
Journal Article

Sediment transport equations typically produce transport rates that are biased by orders of magnitude. A causal component of this inaccuracy is the inability to represent complex grain‐scale interactions controlling entrainment. Grain‐scale incipient...

Evaluation of Mumiyo Deposits from East Antarctica as Archives for the Late Quaternary Environmental and Climatic History (2018)
Journal Article

Mumiyo deposits form in the vicinity of snow petrel (Pagodroma nivea) nesting sites and consist of fossil stomach oil (mumiyo), guano and minerogenic material. Here, we evaluate mumiyo deposits from the inland mountain ranges of central Dronning Maud...
