3) Bedload flux depends much more strongly on particle activity than mean velocity!
How do bedload velocity distributions change with flow strength? Can measurement bias affect experimental observations? How does all this control bedload flux? See our preprint led by then postdoc (now professor) Anshul Yadav! essopenarchive.org/doi/full/10.... Using CFD-DEM simulations we found:

A must read for anyone who wants to ride the wave of probabilistic physics of sediment transport into the future... 🌊
2) Discrepancies in velocity distributions in previous experiments may stem from observational bias related to camera spatial resolution and frame rate
Lewis Fry Richardson, often considered the father of numerical weather prediction, turns out to have been a fascinating guy: scientist, Quaker, pacifist, visionary. I wrote a short piece about his legacy:

1) All downstream velocity distributions, even at high shields number (~0.26) are exponential-like and rarefied, in agreement with stat mech theory from @davidjonfurbish.bsky.social

How do solifluction patterns form? Find out with our recently published paper in AGU Advances! Our writing style takes the reader with us on the long and winding process of discovery, rather than simply presenting a nicely packaged final story! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
What are the necessary and sufficient ingredients for the formation of solifluction patterns? This vexing question has been the albatross round my neck for years. Through process of elimination and a hunch, I believe we have the whisper of an answer. See our preprint! eartharxiv.org/repository/v...
A wonderfully crafted piece this morning on local NPR news about erosional processes at Chimney Bluffs State Park, featuring our very own Earth Surface Processes class field trip! www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2...
