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...

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...

Provenance and origin of Lower Cretaceous quartz arenites from the northern Indian Plate: Tropical weathering or a multi-cycled sediment source? (2020)
Presentation / Conference
Beaumont, H., Burley, S., & Gould, T. (2020, December). Provenance and origin of Lower Cretaceous quartz arenites from the northern Indian Plate: Tropical weathering or a multi-cycled sediment source?. Presented at British Sedimentological Research Group AGM, Virtual

Lower Cretaceous sediments of the north-western Indian Plate margin deposited in the Barmer, Cambay, Narmada, Kachchh and Jaisalmer basins of the West Indian Rift System (WIRS) and in the Lower and Middle Indus Basins (LMIB) are dominated by mineralo...

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...

Provenance of lower cretaceous quartz arenites from the northern Indian Plate: Tropical weathering or a multi-cycled sediment source? (2018)
Presentation / Conference
Beaumont, H., Burley, S., Gould, T., & Clarke, S. (2018, December). Provenance of lower cretaceous quartz arenites from the northern Indian Plate: Tropical weathering or a multi-cycled sediment source?. Poster presented at British Sedimentological Research Group, AGM, Edinburgh, Scotland

Introduction. Lower Cretaceous sediments of the northwestern Indian Plate margin were deposited in the Barmer, Cambay, Narmada, Kachchh and Jaisalmer basins (Figure 1) of the West Indian Rift System (WIRS) and the Lower and Middle Indus Basins (LMIB...
