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.

A new mass-loss rate prescription for red supergiants (2020)
Journal Article
Beasor, E. R., Davies, B., Smith, N., Van Loon, J. T., Gehrz, R. D., & Figer, D. F. (2020). A new mass-loss rate prescription for red supergiants. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 492(4), 5994 - 6006. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staa255

Evolutionary models have shown the substantial effect that strong mass-loss rates ($\dotM$s) can have on the fate of massive stars. Red supergiant (RSG) mass-loss is poorly understood theoretically, and so stellar models rely on purely empirical $\do... Read More about A new mass-loss rate prescription for red supergiants.
