Speleothem U-series constraints on scarp retreat rates and landscape evolution: an example from the Severn valley and Cotswold Hills gull-caves, UK (2014)
Journal Article
Farrant, A. R., Noble, S. R., Barron, A. M., Self, C. A., & Grebby, S. (2014). Speleothem U-series constraints on scarp retreat rates and landscape evolution: an example from the Severn valley and Cotswold Hills gull-caves, UK. Journal of the Geological Society, 172, https://doi.org/10.1144/jgs2014-028

Modelling landscape evolution requires quantitative estimates of erosional processes. Dating erosional landscape features such as escarpments is usually difficult because of the lack of datable deposits. Some escarpments and valley margins are associ...

The impact of vegetation on lithological mapping using airborne multispectral data: a case study for the North Troodos Region, Cyprus (2014)
Journal Article
Grebby, S., Cunningham, D., Tansey, K., & Naden, J. (2014). The impact of vegetation on lithological mapping using airborne multispectral data: a case study for the North Troodos Region, Cyprus. Remote Sensing, 6(11), https://doi.org/10.3390/rs61110860

Vegetation cover can affect the lithological mapping capability of space- and airborne instruments because it obscures the spectral signatures of the underlying geological substrate. Despite being widely accepted as a hindrance, few studies have expl...

Assessing the impact of urbanization on storm runoff in a peri-urban catchment using historical change in impervious cover (2014)
Journal Article
Kim, H., Kjeldsen, T. R., Packman, J., Grebby, S., & Dearden, R. (2014). Assessing the impact of urbanization on storm runoff in a peri-urban catchment using historical change in impervious cover. Journal of Hydrology, 515, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2014.04.011

his paper investigates changes in storm runoff resulting from the transformation of previously rural landscapes into peri-urban areas. Two adjacent catchments (?5 km2) located within the town of Swindon in the United Kingdom were monitored during 201...

Mapping long-term temporal change in imperviousness using topographic maps (2014)
Journal Article
Grebby, S. (2014). Mapping long-term temporal change in imperviousness using topographic maps. International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, 30, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jag.2014.01.002

Change in urban land use and impervious surface cover are valuable sources of information for determining the environmental impacts of urban development. However, our understanding of these impacts is limited due to the general lack of historical dat... Read More about Mapping long-term temporal change in imperviousness using topographic maps.

A note on geographical systems and maps of Montserrat (2014)
Journal Article
Odbert, H. M., & Grebby, S. (2014). A note on geographical systems and maps of Montserrat. Memoirs, 39, https://doi.org/10.1144/M39.27

It is often critically important that geospatial data are measured and mapped accurately, particularly for quantitative analyses and numerical modelling applications. Defining a geographical coordinate system requires a non-unique combination of geod... Read More about A note on geographical systems and maps of Montserrat.
