🚨Shameless self-promotion – but I was invited to record a seminar for ‘Springer Nature Research Communities’ on my most recent publication. If anyone is interested in gravel transport under hyperconcentrated flows - go give it a watch 🤓 doi.org/10.52843/cassyni.1pr… @e3dtp @UofGGES

Happy to share our paper! ☀️ We explore system-scale 2D hydraulic modeling with high-res topographic mapping to guide flood management and avoid negative cascading impacts from structural interventions. Check it out! doi.org/10.1002/rra.4362 @dost_sei @phBritish

Cascading consequences of structural interventions in a tropical wandering gravel‐bed river

Riverscapes are often modified and managed through ‘command and control’ structural engineering approaches. These structures not only alter flow and sediment transport patterns but also negatively...

Prakash Pokhrel's first PhD paper is now out in its final version! I'm excited to share this work that includes a new methodology to assess travel distance from rounding, and a discussion based on data from old and modern Himalayan rivers. Enjoy! ⬛️⚫️🏈🥖 esurf.copernicus.org/article…

Downstream rounding rate of pebbles in the Himalaya

Abstract. Sediment grains are progressively rounded during their transport down a river. For more than a century, Earth scientists have used the roundness of pebbles within modern sediment, and of...

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Thank you to the hundreds of students, colleagues & @UofG_Alumni from across UofG who sent us their photos to make up our #IWD24 mosaic 💜 We're so proud of all the incredible women that make up #TeamUofG. #OneTeamUofG
Lots of small photos of women which form together to create a mosaic image of the main building and tower at the University of Glasgow.

So good to finally see the Allt Lorgy in person for the first time today!! What an incredible scheme - loads of natural tree regeneration and some very cool dynamic geomorphology. Amazing to see how a river can recover when restored and given the space to flow freely! 🌞 🌲

Worth looking at the paper this is based on. By @Emma_C_Biles and Patrick Byrne at LJMU and others including @WillM_CEMS at @UniOfHull
watershed_investigations@WATERSHED_i20 Feb 2024
The volume of PFOS in the Mersey - also a banned forever chemical - is third highest in the world. Studies @LJMU found 50% of PFOS is discharged from wastewater treatment plants - not just in untreated sewage but in treated, supposedly clean, effluent. endsreport.com/toxic

I am delighted to share our research article published online in ESPL| Geomorphology Journal. The research highlights the importance of sediment transport and sensitivity of sediment grain size distribution in flood modelling using LEM CAESAR-Lisflood. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

The impact of sediment flux and calibre on flood risk in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal

Including sediment transport in flood hazard modelling can result in a larger inundation area and greater flood hazard, in addition to a change in river morphology. For low-intensity, high-frequency...
