Applying geomorphological principles and engineering science to develop a phased sediment management plan for Mount St Helens, Washington (2017)
Journal Article
Sclafani, P., Nygaard, C., & Thorne, C. R. (2018). Applying geomorphological principles and engineering science to develop a phased sediment management plan for Mount St Helens, Washington. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 43(5), https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4277

Thirty-seven years post-eruption, erosion of the debris avalanche at Mount St. Helens continues to supply sediment to the Toutle-Cowlitz River system in quantities that have the potential to lower the Level of Protection (LoP) against flooding unacce...

Learning and Action Alliance framework to facilitate stakeholder collaboration and social learning in urban flood risk management (2017)
Journal Article
O’Donnell, E. C., Lamond, J. E., & Thorne, C. R. (2018). Learning and Action Alliance framework to facilitate stakeholder collaboration and social learning in urban flood risk management. Environmental Science and Policy, 80, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envsci.2017.10.013

Flood and water management governance may be enhanced through partnership working, intra- and cross-organisational collaborations, and wide stakeholder participation. Nonetheless, barriers associated with ineffective communication, fragmented respons...

Evaluating the multiple benefits of a sustainable drainage scheme in Newcastle, UK (2017)
Journal Article
O'Donnell, E. C., Woodhouse, R., & Thorne, C. R. (in press). Evaluating the multiple benefits of a sustainable drainage scheme in Newcastle, UK. Proceedings of the ICE - Water Management, https://doi.org/10.1680/jwama.16.00103

Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and Blue-Green infrastructure (BGI) provide a range of environmental, economic and social benefits in addition to managing water quantity and quality. Recognition of the multifunctionality of SuDS and BGI, and the... Read More about Evaluating the multiple benefits of a sustainable drainage scheme in Newcastle, UK.

Application of the Stream Evolution Model to a volcanically disturbed river (2017)
Journal Article
Zheng, S., Thorne, C., Wu, B., & Han, S. (2017). Application of the Stream Evolution Model to a volcanically disturbed river. River Research and Applications, 33(6), 937-948. doi:10.1002/rra.3142

In this study, a recently revised version of the channel evolution model, named the Stream Evolution Model (SEM), was applied to the upper North Fork Toutle River disrupted by the deposition of a 2.5-km3 debris avalanche during the catastrophic erupt...

Recognising barriers to implementation of Blue-Green infrastructure: a Newcastle case study (2017)
Journal Article
O'Donnell, E. C., Lamond, J. E., & Thorne, C. R. (in press). Recognising barriers to implementation of Blue-Green infrastructure: a Newcastle case study. Urban Water Journal, 14(9), https://doi.org/10.1080/1573062X.2017.1279190

There is a recognised need for a fundamental change in how the UK manages urban water and flood risk in response to increasingly frequent rainfall events coupled with planned urban expansion. Approaches centred on ‘living with and making space for wa... Read More about Recognising barriers to implementation of Blue-Green infrastructure: a Newcastle case study.
