Laboratory simulations of fluid-induced seismicity, hydraulic fracture, and fluid flow (2019)
Journal Article

Fluid-induced seismicity has been observed and recorded for decades. Seismic energy necessarily requires a source, which is frequently related to rock fracture either in compression or tension. In both cases, such fracture may be promoted by crustal... Read More about Laboratory simulations of fluid-induced seismicity, hydraulic fracture, and fluid flow.

A spectral pedestrian-based approach for modal identification (2019)
Journal Article

The dynamic behaviour of footbridges is characterised by modal properties such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, damping ratios and modal masses. Their estimation via modal tests often requires expensive or difficult-to-operate equipment (e.g. sha... Read More about A spectral pedestrian-based approach for modal identification.

Water storage redistribution over East China, between 2003 and 2015, driven by intra- and inter-annual climate variability (2019)
Journal Article
He, Q., Chun, K. P., Sum Fok, H., Chen, Q., Dieppois, B., & Massei, N. (2020). Water storage redistribution over East China, between 2003 and 2015, driven by intra- and inter-annual climate variability. Journal of Hydrology, 583, Article 124475. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2019.124475

National development and resilience are strained by shifting regional water storage patterns. The water shifting pattern has been found over China, but the underlying climate mechanisms of the pattern remain largely unexplored. In this study, how shi...

Is it possible to work out the lateral migration of preserved fluvial system through outcrop? (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Beaumont, H. (2019, December). Is it possible to work out the lateral migration of preserved fluvial system through outcrop?. Poster presented at British Sedimentological Research Group, University of Royal Holloway London

While channel migration has been the subject of many studies e.g. Bristow 1987, Best et al., 1993; Nardin et al., 2013; where migration has either been considered at a macro-scale with timeslices on seismic data or at a micro- scale on one or two mea...
