Capturing exposed bedrock in the upland regions of Great Britain: A geomorphometric focused random forest approach Open
Rock exposure distribution maps provide invaluable information for a range of applications from geohazard assessment through to aggregate resource potential assessments. Despite the usefulness of such information, it is only available to a…

The influence of bedrock faulting and fracturing on sediment availability and Quaternary slope systems, Talla, Southern Uplands, Scotland, UK Open
In bedrock-dominated upland terrains, local heterogeneity in the erodibility of rock masses is a critical but under-explored factor constraining sediment erosion, mobilisation and transport. Here we examine how fault-related fracturing con…

3D characterisation of the Yorkshire Wolds chalk aquifer, UK Open
The Yorkshire Wolds Chalk aquifer, provides the main source of water supply in East Yorkshire and the city of Hull, which have a population over 900.000. Its structural configuration, including the effects of faulting, influence groundwate…

Data acquisition by digitizing 2-D fracture networks and topographic lineaments in geographic information systems: further development and applications Open
Understanding the impact of fracture networks on rock mass properties is an essential part of a wide range of applications in geosciences from understanding permeability of groundwater aquifers and hydrocarbon reservoirs to erodibility pro…

Estimating organic surface horizon depth for peat and peaty soils across a Scottish upland catchment using linear mixed models with topographic and geological covariates Open
In order to evaluate and protect ecosystem services provided by peat and peaty soils, accurate estimations for the depth of the surface organic horizon are required. This study uses linear mixed models (LMMs) to test how topographic (eleva…

Mapping surface rock exposures to enhance geohazard susceptibility assessment: a random forest approach Open
<p>We present the approach taken to map surface rock exposures in upland areas of Scotland. This has been carried out as a means of enhancing the mapping of superficial sediment thickness which has important applications including th…

Devonian and Carboniferous stratigraphical correlation and interpretation in the Orcadian area, Central North Sea, Quadrants 7 - 22 Open
This report details the stratigraphy and palaeogeography of Devonian and Carboniferous rocks of the northern sector of the UK Central North Sea (the ‘Orcadian Area’) for the 21CXRM Palaeozoic project. The work integrates the lithostratigra…

Substrate, sediment, and slope controls on bedrock channel geometry in postglacial streams Open
The geometry of channels controls the erosion rate of rivers and the evolution of topography following environmental change. We examine how sediment, slope, and substrate interact to constrain the development of channels following deglacia…
