Sedimentology
Sedimentary processes have a high impact upon humans. Flume and flow-monitoring facilities are used to back up field research into coastal erosion and sedimentation, compaction, river sediment transport, turbidity underflows and volcanic laharsCurrent projects
- High magnitude discharge variation rivers and coarse grade floodplain deposits
- River effluent and hypercynal turbidity currents (see also Floods)
- Rainfall induced triggering of lahars (see also Volcanology)
- Validating the palaeoclimate record in terrestrial carbonates (NERC studentship)
- Palaeoenvironments and tectonics from Late Pleistocene algal bioherms (NERC studentship)
- High resolution analysis of cyclicity in Upper Triassic lake sediments (Leverhulme Trust)
- Impacts of Near-shore Sandbank Mobility on Beaches (BLINKS)
- Effect of shore-parallel breakwaters in tidal conditions on coastal morphology (LEACOAST)
