Little is known about the ecological implications of high-magnitude, low frequency jökulhlaup events in proglacial systems. This study highlights how kettle lakes produced by jökulhlaups in proglacial areas create short-lived ecosystems and increase...

High-magnitude jökulhlaups, glacier margin position and ice-thickness have been identified as key controls on sandur evolution. Existing models however have focused primarily on observations made during short windows of time and often do not account...

The empirical basis for modelling glacial erosion rates (2020)
Journal Article
Cook, S. J., Swift, D. A., Kirkbride, M. P., Knight, P. G., & Waller, R. I. (2020). The empirical basis for modelling glacial erosion rates. Nature communications, 11, Article 759. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-020-14583-8

Glaciers are highly effective agents of erosion that have profoundly shaped Earth’s surface, but there is uncertainty about how glacial erosion should be parameterised in landscape evolution models. Glacial erosion rate is usually modelled as a funct... Read More about The empirical basis for modelling glacial erosion rates.

Too much of a good thing? The role of detailed UAV imagery in characterising large-scale badland drainage characteristics in South-eastern Spain (2017)
Journal Article
Nobajas, A., Waller, R., Robinson, Z., & Sangonzalo, R. (2017). Too much of a good thing? The role of detailed UAV imagery in characterising large-scale badland drainage characteristics in South-eastern Spain. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 38(8-10), 2844 - 2860. https://doi.org/10.1080/01431161.2016.1274450

Some arid and semi-arid areas experience high erosion rates as a consequence of their geological and climatic conditions. This can lead to the development of badland environments characterized by very high drainage densities and the occurrence of a r... Read More about Too much of a good thing? The role of detailed UAV imagery in characterising large-scale badland drainage characteristics in South-eastern Spain.

The Rise and Fall of a Collaboration: Reflections on the benefits, challenges and lessons learned from a joint England-China teaching initiative. The Journal of Academic Development and Education, International Edition(5), 32-56

UK Higher Education Institutions are increasingly working with overseas institutions as a means of increasing numbers of international students. Transnational education (TNE) initiatives can take many forms, from overseas campuses, ‘flying faculty’ d...

Identifying spatial and temporal dynamics of proglacial groundwater-surface-water exchange using combined temperature-tracing methods (2015)
Journal Article

The effect of proglacial groundwater systems on surface hydrology and ecology in cold regions often is neglected when assessing the ecohydrological implications of climate change. We present a novel approach in which we combined 2 temperature-tracing...
