SS21 #7 Ugelvig et al. (2016) Glacial landscape evolution by subglacial quarrying: A multiscale computational approach
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/2016JF003960 Salutation: We read this paper in a graduate discussion seminar, and I was impressed and delighted by their multi-scale approach to modeling glacial erosion by quarrying. It’s such a nice demonstration of how one can derive a “geologic scale” … Continue reading
SS21 #6 Dongfeng Li et al. (2021) Exceptional increases in fluvial sediment fluxes in a warmer and wetter High Mountain Asia
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abi9649 Salutation: This study demonstrates impacts of modern climate change on sediment fluxes from high-mountain source areas, as warming and deglaciation generally increase sediment transport and change some of the source areas. It’s important work for understanding physical climate-change impacts … Continue reading
SS21 #5 Coast2Cast
https://coastalhub.science/coast2cast In a year where we were all stuck inside and less able to meet new colleagues abroad at conferences etc., Ana Vila Concejo and Giovanni Coco brought us all together with the Coast2Cast podcast. By interviewing experienced coastal researchers … Continue reading
SS21 #3 Phillips (2014) Badass Geomorphology
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/esp.3682 Although the notion of geomorphological badassery may seem silly at first, Jonathan Phillips makes a compelling case for its usefulness as a conceptual framework. Reading this paper also led me down a winding rabbit hole of nonlinear dynamics and … Continue reading
SS21 #1 Chatanantavet and Parker (2008) Experimental study of bedrock channel alluviation under varied sediment supply and hydraulic conditions
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2008JF001044 Salutation: Wonderfully thoughtful mathematical model of bedrock channel erosion that combines abrasion, “macroabrasion,” and plucking. What was awesome? It is a scienific frontier! From: Greg Tucker
SS #24 Downstream changes in river avulsion style are related to channel morphology
Salutation: Great work giving me insight into spatial variations in channel avulsion style as related to morphology. Potentially helpful for better understanding avulsion record and future hazard. What was awesome? I was surprising! From: Anonymous
SS #12 Yu et al. 2018 Where Does Titan Sand Come From: Insight From Mechanical Properties of Titan Sand Candidates
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2018JE005651 Salutation: I was stuck thinking about aeolian dunes forming on different planets as a problem purely about if winds are fast enough to pick up grains. This work really opened my eyes to also considering if the grains can … Continue reading
SS#5 Koppes and King, 2020
https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2020JF005588 It felt like a really eloquent and fresh perspective on a number of issues that are important to me, both technical (e.g., chaos theory and modelling) and societal (e.g., incorporating Indigenous knowledge in our work). Format: paper Salutations: I … Continue reading
