Evolution of a restored, meandering, gravel-bed river
ADVANCES IN APPLIED WATERSHED SCIENCE: INTEGRATION OF WATERSHED PROCESSES, ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONS, AND SOCIETAL SYSTEMS I POSTER
earth and planetary surface processes | 15 december 2023
Lee Harrison, Thomas Dunne
We investigated the morphodynamic evolution of a meandering, gravel-bed river that had been restored according to a widely adopted conceptual model. T...

Post‐Wildfire Generation of Debris‐Flow Slurry by Rill Erosion on Colluvial Hillslopes
JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH: EARTH SURFACE
16 november 2021
Paul Alessio, Thomas Dunne, Kristin D. Morell

Landscapes after wildfire commonly experience accelerated hillslope erosion, which often contributes to the mobilization and volume of debris flows...
