DOI: 10.1002/esp.4405
Abstract: High energy, rocky coastlines often feature sandy beaches within headland‐bound embayments. Not all such embayments have beaches however, and beaches in embayments can be removed by storms and may subsequently reform. What dictates the presence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/etc.5526
Abstract: Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are widely used in commercial products such textiles, firefighting foams, and surface coatings across the globe and some PFAS are known to be bioaccumulative in aquatic species. The ultimate sink… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.csr.2017.06.011
Abstract: Abstract Thirty-two kasten cores, collected from the proximal Mekong continental shelf, have been analyzed for their excess 210Pb distributions in an effort to establish rates of sediment accumulation over the past 100 years. The length… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2021.116845
Abstract: Abstract Turbidity currents dominate sediment transfer into the deep ocean, and can damage critical seabed infrastructure. It is commonly inferred that powerful turbidity currents are triggered by major external events, such as storms, river floods,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2017.02.017
Abstract: Abstract Playa wetlands are ubiquitous features of the central and southern Great Plains, and in Kansas alone, there are > 22,000 playas. Consequently, playas are critical wetland resources for the region, providing a range of ecosystem… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2019.06.014
Abstract: Abstract Grassland ecosystems are some of the most modified ecosystems in the world, largely due to conversion to cropland, and the High Plains of the central United States is no exception. Playa wetlands are ubiquitous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl084499
Abstract: Fjords on the West Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) serve as sediment traps, preserving histories of glacial sediment supply. Regional warming trends are expected to change sediment supplies, altering water quality, depositional history, and ecosystem drivers. Our… read more here.
