Capability of HYDRUS wetland module to simulate flow and nitrogen removal processes in pilot-scale treatment peatlands under frost and no-frost conditions
2022, Ecological EngineeringCitation Excerpt :Organic soils, especially peat, pose unique challenges for defining flow and reactive transport processes as compared to mineral soils. Peatlands are formed by accumulation of partially decomposed plant biomass over millennia (Boelter, 1968; Davies et al., 2013). This results in a unique layered structure where soil properties typically change gradually with depth (Gharedaghloo et al., 2018) but flow restricting conditions have also been found in the upper layers of peat (Khan et al., 2019; Ronkanen and Klöve, 2005).
Mass-Movement Types and Processes: Flow-Like Mass Movements, Debris Flows and Earth Flows
2022, Treatise on GeomorphologyMolards as an indicator of permafrost degradation and landslide processes
2019, Earth and Planetary Science LettersCitation Excerpt :Hummocks are mounds, blocks and ridges that characterize large landslides and debris/rock avalanches (Paguican et al., 2014; Shea and van Wyk de Vries, 2008; Siebert, 1984; Ui, 1983; Yoshida et al., 2012). Hummocks result from the formation of horsts and grabens during transport and spreading or by stretching around blocks by faults (Davies et al., 2013; Glicken, 1996; Glicken et al., 1981; Shea et al., 2008; Voight et al., 1981), and their shapes can be used to determine the kinematics of a landslide (Shea and van Wyk de Vries, 2008). Hummocks in debris/rock-avalanche deposits are characterised by pervasive shattering or jigsaw fracturing as result of brittle deformation associated with the transport of large rock masses (e.g., Calvari et al., 1998; Shreve, 1968; Ui et al., 1986; Yarnold and Lombard, 1989).
Tim Davies is presently an associate professor of geological sciences at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. His PhD in civil engineering was awarded by the University of Southampton, UK in 1973. In his career, he has specialized in river mechanics, debris flows, rock avalanches, and rock fracture processes, and he now leads the Hazard and Disaster Management postgraduate programs at the University of Canterbury.
Chris Phillips is a senior scientist in soils and landscape processes at Landcare Research, Christchurch, New Zealand. He has 30 years of research experience in the fields of erosion processes, how vegetation mitigates erosion, and, more recently, in integrated catchment management. He now describes himself as a generalist. He obtained his PhD in agricultural engineering from the University of Canterbury in 1989 and earlier degrees from Otago and Waikato universities. In the early part of his career, he worked for the New Zealand Forestry Research Institute studying the relationship between geology and geomorphology and the implications for forest management in the East Coast region of New Zealand. Latterly, he has been involved in a 10-year interdisciplinary study that recently ended, focused on the Motueka River catchment and its connection to Tasman Bay, in the northern part of South Island, New Zealand.
Jeff Warburton's research is concerned primarily with understanding the geomorphology and sediment-transfer processes operating in upland and mountain catchments. Particular emphasis is placed on upland peat erosion, peat mass movements, debris flows/shallow landslides, glacio-fluvial sediment transfer, and the geomorphology of mountain streams. This work is underpinned by intensive field monitoring programs and geomorphological laboratory experiments.
Jeff has served on the Executive Committee of the British Geomorphological Research Group and together with Dave Higgitt was joint-chair of the BGRG Working Group on Upland Sediment Budgets. In 2000, he was made a Millennium fellow for his work on ‘Understanding the landscape of the North Pennines’.
