🚨 New paper out now in @egu-esurf.bsky.social! 🚨 We explore the geomorphic response of two river reaches to leaky dams, focusing on bathymetric change, planform evolution, water levels, and grain size distribution—helping to address the gap in field studies 📝 doi.org/10.5194/esur...

Over the moon to finally announce our NERC: Natural Environment Research Council funded project Charnwood Champions 🥳 This project has been a dream of mine for many years after witnessing the inconsistancy and inequality of opportunities for children to access the natural environment

Hydrology Paper of the Day @joshwolstenholme.bsky.social on how sediment affects water transport during flooding: potential increase in flood hazard due to feedback effects, and application of the CAESAR-Lisflood2 model to the Glenridding Beck catchment for the 2015 Storm Desmond event in the UK.

Interested in the role of sediment transport processes on increasing #flooding? Our new preprint that systematically explores the role of #rainfall on amplifying flood hazard is out! doi.org/10.21203/rs.... @floodskinner.games @drchrishackney.bsky.social Matt Perks & @bedforms.bsky.social

🚨🚨🚨 New paper alert 🚨🚨🚨 Happy to see our new paper incorporating leaky dams into CAESAR-Lisflood published: doi.org/10.5194/gmd-... We explored the influence of leaky dams on sediment processes & hydrodynamics @floodskinner.games @bedforms.bsky.social @lboroor.bsky.social @eeiathull.bsky.social

Great afternoon with @parsnipsparsons.bsky.social and Bradgate Education Partnership--looking forward to working with them and their schools moving forward towards developing their Climate Action Plans later this year

Great to see our paper on mapping #hedgerow and #hedgerowgaps using #deeplearning published earlier this week! doi.org/10.1002/rse2...

Superb to see this paper out where we use machine learning to identify hedgerows and hedgerow gaps across #eastyorkshire - will support targeted re-planting for carbon sequestration - led by @joshwolstenholme.bsky.social 👏 zslpublications.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

New preprint out from the brilliant @joshwolstenholme.bsky.social

New preprint for discussion 🚨 Localised geomorphic response to channel-spanning leaky wooden dams egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/20... @joshwolstenholme.bsky.social @floodskinner.games @bedforms.bsky.social

Dream Team are back in town 🙌 @joshwolstenholme.bsky.social and I have been voted in to represent the researchers from @lborouniversity.bsky.social School of Social Sciences & Humanities Keeping @drjwharrison.bsky.social & @bedforms.bsky.social on their toes making sure words are turned into action

Of course the perfect time for my computer to restart with no warning is in the middle of responding to reviewer comments

When I was 5 (on Rt), my family moved to Kenya. I felt safe & happy in this vibrant place, but I soon became aware of the privilege I held. My early experiences shaped my understanding of inequality & inspired me to strive for a world where every child can thrive, just as I did 🌍💚 #WorldChildrensDay

Come follow the greatest society of all time ⬇️⬇️

Interesting talks this morning at @crancomposites.bsky.social focusing around AI and sustainability

Travel home begins! First an overnight bus, now a 6 hour wait, two more flights and a taxi! Great time in Bolivia for #TeamOxbow

Last lake complete! Great week with @GeomorphicJosh boating around the Rio Mamore #TeamOxbow

Fantastic couple of days exploring Oxbow lakes in Bolivia!

Off to the #AmazonRainforest to meet @GeomorphicJosh today for some oxbow lake surveying—hope my flights are better than the nightmare that @bedform experienced 👀

Back from a great week in the US following meeting with @USGS. Lots of data to look at and hopefully a rich dataset of suspended sediment!

Looking forward to some great chats with @USGS this week about #sediment with @bedform @lborogeog

Great day co-presenting with @ParsnipsParsons on creative conversations and the use of #360tech with @EnvAgency and others

Amazing #NorthernLights in York!

Interested in the basin-scale hydrological response to leaky wooden dams? At #EGU2024? Come along to room -2.91 Friday 16:50-17:00. Abstract:

Day 1 at #EGU2024!

Looking forward to a day of #policy training today at @UniofBath hosted by @methods4change One of the prettier walks to a campus & bathroom floors!

Great day graduating from @UniOfHull and seeing friends from @EEIatHull again! #PhDone

#BSGPC23 2—coastal erosion, East Yorkshire

#BSGPC23 1—volcanic bomb in Villarrica, Chile

Sky keeps on giving! More nacreous clouds in North Yorkshire!

Was treated to these amazing clouds this morning!

.@bedform waiting to pounce on unsuspecting geologists #BSRG23 @lborouniversity @lborogeog

Great afternoon with @DynamicCoast yesterday looking at his upcoming flume experiments!

Excellent waking up to news that our @NERCscience bid CONVERSE led by @AOckelford has been awarded first stage funding to develop equitable partnerships for environmental monitoring riverscapes and nature based solutions with some amazing partners (not all on twitter!)

Great few days at the wood in rivers workshop discussing new approaches for monitoring and modelling #wood Also a surprise PhD cake from @AOckelford and all attendees!

After five years at @EEIatHull I’m happy to announce that I’m starting at @lborouniversity with @bedform on Monday!

.@qatarairways the last thing my wife and I expect when checking in is to be laughed at because one of us will require a wheelchair at our connecting airport. This is completely unacceptable and inappropriate and your front line staff are in need of serious retraining @manairport

Locked in my favourite person @luCwolstenholme at the weekend ❤️

Working in @CranfieldUni glasshouse performing ultra high resolution hyperspectral and LiDAR scans of our soil cubes while @MccumskayRick extracts cores at different depths. Looking forward to reviewing the data later on! @GeographyHull @UWEBristol @NERCscience

Day 2 of #hyperspectral #soil over! Much better weather today and now we have 10 cubes ready for lab work tomorrow @GeographyHull @UWEBristol @CranfieldUni @NERCscience

Good day yesterday extracting #soil cubes for hyperspectral remote sensing and carbon analysis @NERCscience @GeographyHull @UWEBristol @CranfieldUni

Final day of workshopping in Lyon consisted of some great discussions, ideas for future research, and a larger #woodinrivers network! Thanks to @AOckelford @RuizVillanuevaV @H_Borbala and Hervey Piegay for organising!

Day 3 in Lyon consisted of great discussions followed by a field excursion to two gravel bed river sites that @H2oLyon have been working on for >10 years. Wood monitoring, unconstrained banker erosion and automatic wood detection using camera systems

Day two in Lyon consisted of exploring a local #riverrestoration scheme, followed by great discussions with #academics and #practitioners about rock and wood in rivers, concluding with a poster session—find mine here:

First day in Lyon yesterday starting off with a wander around the centre and wine tasting in the afternoon before the real work starts today #thereswoodintheriverpromise
