Our latest paper (and last from my PhD) is out now in Quaternary Science Reviews! A thread... #geomorphology #Arabia #quaternary authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

The desert that we see today in Arabia was once a region that repeatedly underwent 'green' periods in the past, as a result of periods of high rainfall, resulting in the formation of lakes and rivers around 9,000 years ago. #GreenArabia miragenews.com/unearthing-lu…
Ever wondered how much sediment moles can shift?…
Delighted our new paper is out in ESPL! Exploring the geomorphic work of the European mole using SfM photogrammetry with @SamWoor, @MACoombes, @Geodiverse - check it out here 👉 doi.org/10.1002/esp.6008

We also found evidence of depositional events during more arid periods, however sedimentary structures typically indicated flashier flow regimes as opposed to the large conglomerate deposits and bioturbated floodplains typically dating to wetter times...
Fan data are often noisy, but taking into account depositional context and integrating multiple sites across a landscape helps refine their use as important terrestrial archives of Quaternary environmental change. Important in drylands often lacking high resolution proxies...
Thanks to my supervisors @kalaharidave @durcanjulie @SLBurrough @ashparton and @seahaCDT @oxfordgeography for the opportunity to undertake this research.
Results show that Hajar alluvial systems provide long and sensitive records of increases in Indian Ocean Monsoon precipitation in line with precessional and eccentricity forcing over the last 400 ka...
We present luminescence ages from new sites across central and eastern alluvial fans in the Hajar Mountains, SE Arabia. Hierarchical clustering was then used to combine these new data with previous data for fan and lake deposition from the literature...

An EXCELLENT piece of design from @TIBaxter (also starring @SamWoor as the 'inquisitive poster reader'). #BSG2023 #HeritageHabitats @oxfordgeography @OxRBL #biogeomorphology – at Kidlington, England
What’s it all about?
If you are at #BSG2023, come and see my poster about how #geomorphology can contribute to the conservation of wildlife and built #heritage in marine environments! @BSG_Geomorph
