Rapid environmental change is driving the need for complex and comprehensive scientific information that supports policies aimed at managing natural resources through international treaties, platforms, networks.One successful approach delivering such has been development of Essential Variables climate (1), oceans (2), biodiversity (3), sustainable goals (4) (ECVs, EOVs, EBVs, ESDGVs, respectively).These efforts have improved consensus on terminology, identified essential sets measurements...
Abstract Salt marshes deliver vital ecosystem services by providing habitats, storing pollutants and atmospheric carbon, reducing flood erosion risk in the coastal hinterland. Net losses salt marsh areas, both modelled globally measured regionally, are therefore of concern. Amongst other controls, persistence any one location depends on ability their substrates to resist hydrodynamic forcing at front, along creek margins vegetated surface. Where relative sea level is rising, elevation must...
The population of London is around 7 million. infrastructure to support this makes one the most intensively investigated areas upper crust. However construction work in continues reveal presence unexpected ground conditions. These have been discovered isolation and often recorded with no further explain them. There a scientific, industrial commercial need refine geological framework for its surrounding area. This paper reviews setting as it understood at present, outlines issues that current...
Abstract. Linking landslide size and frequency is important at both human geological timescales for quantifying hazards the effectiveness of landslides in removal sediment from evolving landscapes. The statistical behaviour magnitude-frequency inventories usually compiled following a particular triggering event such as an earthquake or storm, their often characterised by power-law relationship with small rollover. occurrence expected to be influenced material properties rock and/or regolith...
Engineering works carried out in central London over many decades have revealed a number of buried hollows that exhibit curious characteristics. Some extend deep into the bedrock geology and are in-filled with disturbed superficial deposits reworked bedrock. Others contained within deposits. They can be up to 500 m wide more than 60 depth. As infill material often has different behavioural characteristics from surrounding failure identify them during an initial site investigation prove...
Abstract The geology of the Chalk beneath east London and Thames Gateway is reviewed key features affecting engineering are summarized. In particular, variable stratigraphy preserved sub-Palaeogene erosion surface, evidence for syndepositional tectonics in Chalk, recognition tectonic fractures strata-bound fracture systems emphasized. contrasting physical properties chalk flint discussed depth weathering subcrop outcrop compared contrasted. information gained from separate ground...
Abstract The vulnerability of saltmarshes to lateral erosion at their margin depends on the local biogeomorphological properties substrate. In particular, 3D architecture pore and root systems is expected influence shear strength, with repercussions for wider‐scale stability saltmarshes. We apply X‐ray computed microtomography (μCT) visualize quantify subsurface structures in two UK Tillingham Farm, Essex (silt/clay rich substrate) Warton Sands (sand‐rich substrate), four types ground cover:...
In recent years, with the improvement of computer processing power and development sophisticated visualisation software, traditional static views geological maps, cross-sections, other analogue representations have been replaced by digital, three dimensional (3D) models.Building these 3D models involves assembly many previously isolated disparate datasets into a single spatial framework for analysis.This enables construction best possible model using all available information.This paper...
The conceptual groundwater model is heavily dependent on the geological framework which used to defi ne aquifer being studied.In past, two-dimensional datasets such as maps and cross-sections were in coordination with site-specifi c point data build a understanding at site or catchment scale.This then simplified it this simplifi ed version for numerical fl ow model.Due way generated they could not be viewed together; inevitably led signifi cant loss of information understanding.With current...
Abstract Salt marshes are globally distributed, vegetated intertidal wetlands and marsh edge erosion is common on many shores. To understand how why occurs, the response of salt substrates to applied shear vertical stress must first be quantified. This likely influenced by substrate biological, geochemical sedimentological composition. However, currently there little systematic research into between‐marsh variability in these properties they affect both processes ability a maintain its...
Abstract The Thames Gateway Development Zone is the biggest urban development project in UK for over 50 years. Developers and planners need to understand implications of such large-scale urbanization on environment. Requirements sustainable growth within region mean that developers are being required demonstrate proposals based sound scientific information. This has resulted a growing demand geo-environmental information be provided more accessible, relevant understandable forms. Advances...
