Investigations into the relationship between changes in internal moisture regimes and rock surface deterioration in cavernous sandstone features (2013)
Journal Article
Mol, L. (2014). Investigations into the relationship between changes in internal moisture regimes and rock surface deterioration in cavernous sandstone features. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 39(7), 914-927. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.3497

Cavernous features commonly develop in sandstone, but their development over time remains enigmatic. It has been suggested that moisture movements within the rock mass play a key role in the location, development and dynamics of cavernous features. I...

The role of fieldwork in rock decay research: Case studies from the fringe (2013)
Journal Article
Paradise, T. R., Groom, K. M., Dixon, J. C., Allen, C. D., Gordon, S. J., Dorn, R. I., …Turkington, A. V. (2013). The role of fieldwork in rock decay research: Case studies from the fringe. Geomorphology, 200, 59-74. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2012.12.012

Researchers exploring rock decay hail from chemistry, engineering, geography, geology, paleoclimatology, soil science, and other disciplines and use laboratory, microscopic, theoretical, and field-based strategies. We illustrate here how the traditio... Read More about The role of fieldwork in rock decay research: Case studies from the fringe.

Exposing drying patterns: Using electrical resistivity tomography to monitor capillary rise in sandstone under varying drying conditions (2013)
Journal Article
Mol, L., & Viles, H. (2013). Exposing drying patterns: Using electrical resistivity tomography to monitor capillary rise in sandstone under varying drying conditions. Environmental Earth Sciences, 68(6), 1647-1659. https://doi.org/10.1007/s12665-012-1858-x

Rising damp and other moisture movements through porous stone and rock are known to cause weathering and deterioration, as noted in a range of recent field and laboratory studies. However, relatively little is known about the behaviour of moisture wi...
