Ekechukwu, C., Chatzirodou, A., Beaumont, H., Eyo, E., & Staddon, C. (in press). Enhancing solids deposit prediction in gully pots with explainable hybrid models: A review. Water Science and Technology, https://doi.org/10.2166/wst.2024.077

Urban flooding has made it necessary to gain a better understanding of how well gully pots perform when overwhelmed by solids deposition due to various climatic and anthropogenic variables. This study investigates solids deposition in gully pots thro... Read More about Enhancing solids deposit prediction in gully pots with explainable hybrid models: A review.

Evaluating microplastic presence in the vicinity of Citarum River Dams, West Java: A comprehensive analysis (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Beaumont, H., Holmes, S., Gough, A., & Putra, H. (2023, December). Evaluating microplastic presence in the vicinity of Citarum River Dams, West Java: A comprehensive analysis. Paper presented at British Sedimentoligcal Research Group, Loughboroough Unviersity

The Citarum River travels north westwards from the source in the Wayang-Windu Mountains into the Jakarta Bay and the Java Sea. Once considered the most polluted river in the world the communities around the Citarum River have been involved in the Cit...

Insights into technical challenges in the field of microplastic pollution through the lens of early career researchers (ECRs) and a proposed pathway forward (2023)
Journal Article
Danopoulos, E., Stanton, T., Ma, Y., Horton, A. A., Chen, Q., Levermore, J. M., …Nel, H. A. (2023). Insights into technical challenges in the field of microplastic pollution through the lens of early career researchers (ECRs) and a proposed pathway forward. Frontiers in Earth Science, 11, Article 1271547. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2023.1271547

Early career researchers (ECR) face a series of challenges related to the inherent difficulties of starting their careers. Microplastic (MP) research is a topical field attracting high numbers of ECRs with diverse backgrounds and expertise from a wea...

How are microplastics incorporated in fluvial sedimentary structures (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Beaumont, H., Ockelford, A., & Wanke, H. (2023, July). How are microplastics incorporated in fluvial sedimentary structures. Presented at International Conference on Fluvial Sedimentology

It's predicted there will be ~1.3 billion-tonnes of microplastics (MPs) in the environment by 2040, with rivers transporting 95% into the ocean; this is much higher than previously thought. MPs pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems and could become par... Read More about How are microplastics incorporated in fluvial sedimentary structures.

Storage of MPs in Channel sediments (2023)
Presentation / Conference
Beaumont, H., Geary, A., & Phillips, N. (2023, July). Storage of MPs in Channel sediments. Poster presented at International Assoication of Fluvial Sedimentology, Riva Del Garda

This work aims to understand where microplastics (MPs) are stored within rivers. MPs are becoming prevalent in the news as studies are finding up to 14 million-tonnes of MPs on the ocean floor (Barrett et al., 2020). This is an issue as rivers drain...
