Influence of Grain Arrangement on Particle Mobility and Patterns of Variability Between Gravel Bed Rivers
Gravel bed surface-structure and mobility forces are quantified at 45 different rivers in England and Wales Surface texture is controlled by grain shape and size; this complicates bed stability c...

The Influence of Gravel‐Bed Structure on Grain Mobility Thresholds: Comparison of Force‐Balance Approaches
Two different novel force-balance models are used to estimate grain mobility thresholds using resistance force and microtopography data An automated point cloud segmentation approach is compared ...

#FlumeFriday Our rough-bed river experiments now have rough walls as well! Great to see what @dwhit.bsky.social and @houseago.bsky.social have been up to.
A view down a laboratory flume. There are battons attached to the wall, sparse cobbles on the bed, and water flowing down the middle.
