Convergence of tectonic reconstructions and mantle convection models for significant fluctuations in seafloor spreading
(2013)Earth and Planetary Science LettersFor 50 years of data collection and kinematic reconstruction efforts, plate models have provided alternative scenarios for plate motions and seafloor spreading for the past 200 My. However, these efforts are naturally limited by the incomplete preservation of very old seafloor, and therefore the time-dependence of the production of new seafloor is controversial. There is no consensus on how much it has varied in the past 200 My, and how ...Journal Article -

Understanding flood regime changes in Europe: A state of the art assessment
(2013)Hydrology and Earth System Sciences DiscussionsLosing streams that are influenced by wastewater treatment plant effluents and combined sewer overflows (CSOs) can be a source of groundwater contamination. Released micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals, endocrine disrupters and other ecotoxicologically relevant substances as well as inorganic wastewater constituents can reach the groundwater, where they may deteriorate groundwater quality. This paper presents a method to quantify ...Working Paper -

Performance report of the RHUM-RUM ocean bottom seismometer network around La Réunion, western Indian Ocean
(2016)Advances in GeosciencesRHUM-RUM is a German-French seismological experiment based on the sea floor surrounding the island of La Réunion, western Indian Ocean (Barruol and Sigloch, 2013). Its primary objective is to clarify the presence or absence of a mantle plume beneath the Reunion volcanic hotspot. RHUM-RUM's central component is a 13-month deployment (October 2012 to November 2013) of 57 broadband ocean bottom seismometers (OBS) and hydrophones over an area ...Journal Article -

The impact of human‐induced climate change on regional drought in the Horn of Africa
(2019)Journal of Geophysical Research: AtmospheresA severe drought hit the Greater Horn of Africa (GHA) in 2014, but it remains unclear whether this extreme event was attributable to anthropogenic climate change or part of longer‐term natural cycles. Precipitation patterns are known to be changing across the GHA, but trajectories in land surface variables are much less well known. We simulated the GHA land surface environment to assess the balance between natural cycles and human‐induced ...Journal Article -
Dominant controls of transpiration along a hillslope transect inferred from ecohydrological measurements and thermodynamic limits
(2016)Hydrology and Earth System SciencesWe combine ecohydrological observations of sap flow and soil moisture with thermodynamically constrained estimates of atmospheric evaporative demand to infer the dominant controls of forest transpiration in complex terrain. We hypothesize that daily variations in transpiration are dominated by variations in atmospheric demand, while site-specific controls, including limiting soil moisture, act on longer timescales. We test these ...Journal Article -
A reduced-complexity model for sediment transport and step-pool morphology
(2016)Earth Surface DynamicsA new particle-based reduced-complexity model to simulate sediment transport and channel morphology in steep streams in presented. The model CAST (Cellular Automaton Sediment Transport) contains phenomenological parameterizations, deterministic or stochastic, of sediment supply, bed load transport, and particle entrainment and deposition in a cellular-automaton space with uniform grain size. The model reproduces a realistic bed morphology ...Journal Article
