DOI: 10.1002/2016gl072134
Abstract: Earth surface evolution, like many natural phenomena typified by fluctuations on a wide range of scales and deterministic smoothing, results in a statistically rough surface. We present theory demonstrating that scaling exponents of topographic and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/2016jc011755
Abstract: The presence of large bottom roughness, such as that formed by benthic organisms on coral reef flats, has important implications for the size, concentration, and transport of suspended sediment in coastal environments. A 3 week… read more here.

A coupled vegetation/sediment transport model for dryland environments
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"
DOI: 10.1002/2016jf004096
Abstract: Dryland regions are characterized by patchy vegetation, erodible surfaces, and erosive aeolian processes. Understanding how these constituent factors interact and shape landscape evolution is critical for managing potential environmental and anthropogenic impacts in drylands. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/esp.4420
Abstract: Estimates of the wind shear stress exerted on Earth’s surface using the fully rough form of the law-of-the-wall are a function of the aerodynamic roughness length, z0. Accurate prediction of aeolian sediment transport rates, therefore,… read more here.

Temporal variation in suspended sediment transport: linking sediment sources and hydro‐meteorological drivers

DOI: 10.1002/esp.4682
Abstract: Suspended sediment concentrations (SSC) in rivers are variable in time due to interacting soil erosion and sediment transport processes. While many hydro-meteorological variables are correlated to suspended sediment concentrations, interpretation of these correlations in terms… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/esp.5136
Abstract: Proglacial slopes provide suitable conditions for observing the co‐development of abiotic and biotic systems. The frequency and magnitude of geomorphic processes and plant composition govern this interplay, which is described in the model of biogeomorphic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/esp.5217
Abstract: Water bodies in Tanzania are experiencing increased siltation, which is threatening water quality, ecosystem health, and livelihood security in the region. This phenomenon is caused by increasing rates of upstream soil erosion and downstream sediment… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3146
Abstract: In this paper we examine how changes in suspended sediment transport influence invertebrate drift in a piedmont river (the Upper Cinca, South Central Pyrenees). In-channel gravel mining in the Cinca causes the release of large… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00707-021-02951-4
Abstract: Sediment transport simulations face the challenge of accounting for vastly different scales in space and time that cannot be tackled by a unifying approach. Instead, processes are subdivided into a microscale at the particle level,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10584-020-02693-7
Abstract: Longshore sediment transport is an important nearshore process that governs coastal erosion/accretion and in turn defines the orientation of coastlines. In this study, we assess the changes in longshore transport rates along the Indian coast… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11356-018-2096-x
Abstract: For many event-based, high-sediment yield rivers draining arid zones, where erosion activities in the watershed and fluvial erosion in the stream channel are nearly equally important in sediment transport, determination of fluvial sediment dynamics are… read more here.
