Channel sinuosity control on submarine-fan evolution
Submarine fan systems form some of the largest sedimentary deposit and they incorporate hydrocarbon reservoirs of critical importance to global industry and economy. Submarine fan...

In this project the student will model debris flows using CFD methods to obtain predictive tools for the travel distance and extent of debris flows....
The solid inner core of the Earth is growing as the Earth cools. Fluid outer core material comprises liquid iron and lighter components, and as...
Sudden outburst floods from dams often contain very high loads of sediment across a range of sizes. These outbursts can come for the sudden failure...
This is a mathematical and theoretical project which will explore the relationship between deep convective storms and the circulation of the tropical atmosphere. These storms...
The Earth’s liquid core is a very remote place indeed – we know relatively very little about its structure and dynamics because direct observation is...
Convection within the Earth’s fluid core generates the planetary magnetic field; spatial and temporal variations of the geomagnetic field can thus be used to gain...
This project involves the use of statistical techniques such as data assimilation for validation of the construction of models of fluid flows. It is often...
The fall in the reserve replacement rate means that enhanced oil recovery (EOR) will become increasingly important. Improving EOR requires a thorough understanding of capillary...
Internal gravity waves are interior ocean waves driven by gravity acting on layers with varying density in the ocean. They are held responsible for a...
