When it comes to rare and endangered animals, there is usually a good selection of literature available. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the Chinese Alligator. Its scarcity in the wild and the fact that its home range is well within the co... Read More about Amphibian ecology and conservation: A handbook of techniques.

High speed boat traffic: A risk to crocodilian populations (2011)
Journal Article

Injuries related to boat traffic have been documented as a major source of human-related injuries and deaths in many aquatic species but have not been documented in crocodilians. We examined the proportion of boat-related injuries in Spectacled Caima... Read More about High speed boat traffic: A risk to crocodilian populations.

Characterisation and sediment-source linkages of intertidal sediment of the UK's north Sefton Coast using magnetic and textural properties: Findings and limitations (2011)
Journal Article

Sediment pathways and links to offshore processes are considered in the textural and magnetic characteristics of sediments of the intertidal flats and salt marshes of the north Sefton Coast, UK. In addition, sediment from a range of intertidal, marin...

The role of rock surface hardness and internal moisture in tafoni development in sandstone (2011)
Journal Article

The development of cavernous weathering features such as tafoni remains poorly understood. In particular, the roles played by internal moisture and case hardening remain unclear. In this study, Electric Resistivity Tomography (ERT) has been used to m... Read More about The role of rock surface hardness and internal moisture in tafoni development in sandstone.

Shear-derived mixing in dense granular flows (2011)
Journal Article

In flume experiments, granular avalanches run onto loose substrates develop 3-D architectures that record shear-derived mixing between the flow and the substrate. Spherical silica beads 0.250 mm diameter are run onto stratified substrates of various... Read More about Shear-derived mixing in dense granular flows.
