Alluvial landscapes in the temperate Balkan Neolithic: Transitions to tells

Bailey, D. W.; Macklin, Mark G.; Howard, A. J.; Mills, S.; Andreescu, R. (2011-08-02)

This paper focuses on the 5th-millennium BC shift from short-term habitations to permanent tell settlements in southern Romania: from the Cris, Dudesti and Boian to the Gumelnitu Cultures. Archaeological and geomorphologic ...

Alluvial responses to the changing Earth system

Lewin, John; Macklin, Mark G. (2008-08-01)

Alluvial systems are complex, self-organizing and hierarchical in structure. They represent stored and transitory sediment bodies transported by rivers that have eroded their catchments and created multiscalar landforms ...

A cellular model of Holocene upland river basin and alluvial fan evolution

Kirkby, M. J.; Macklin, Mark G.; Coulthard, Tom J. (2011-09-06)

The CAESAR (Cellular Automaton Evolutionary Slope And River) model is used to simulate the Holocene development of a small upland catchment (4.2 km(2)) and the alluvial fan at its base. The model operates at a 3 m grid ...

Changing climate and extreme floods in the British uplands

Macklin, Mark G.; Rumsby, B. T. (2007-04)

Recent devastating flood events in the British uplands have focused attention on flood prediction and risk assessment, and highlighted one of the most important challenges facing river basin managers in the UK. The short ...

Conclusion and extension of protocol

Gregory, K. J.; Macklin, Mark G.; Walling, D. E. (2006)

Hydrological events with dramatic consequences have continued to occur throughout the year during which this volume was prepared. As reported in the media, such events arouse suspicion that their incidence is not easily ...

Correlation of fluvial sequences in the Mediterranean basin over the last 200 ka and their relationship to climate change

Fuller, I. C.; Lewin, J.; Macklin, Mark G.; Maas, G. A. (2002-08)

This paper presents a new correlation of Late and Middle Pleistocene fluvial sedimentary sequences in Greek, Libyan and Spanish river basins and evaluates river response to climate change over the Last Interglacial–Glacial ...

The development and application of a database of radiocarbon-dated Holocene fluvial deposits in Great Britain

Macklin, Mark G.; Johnstone, E.; Lewin, J. (2006)

This paper reports on the development of a British database of 14C dated Holocene fluvial units over the last 15 years. Since its inception in 1989, the database has undergone substantial expansion, refinement and improvement ...

Dispersal of Contaminant Metals in the Mining-Affected Danube and Maritsa Drainage Basins, Bulgaria, Eastern Europe

Bird, Graham; Brewer, Paul A.; Macklin, Mark G.; Nikolova, Mariyana; Kotsev, Tsvetan; Mollov, Mihail; Swain, Catherine (2010-02-01)

Metal dispersal in the Danube and Maritsa drainage basins resulting from metal mining activities in Bulgaria has been assessed through the collection of 611 samples of river water, river channel and floodplain sediment, ...

Embedding reach-scale fluvial dynamics within the CAESAR cellular automaton landscape evolution model

Lewin, John; Coulthard, Tom J.; Macklin, Mark G.; van de Wiel, Marco J. (2007-10-15)

We introduce a new computational model designed to simulate and investigate reach-scale alluvial dynamics within a landscape evolution model. The model is based on the cellular automaton concept, whereby the continued ...

Floodplain catastrophes in the UK Holocene: messages for managing climate change

Macklin, Mark G.; Lewin, John (2011-06-13)

Floodplains may be transformed when environmental changes or human activity causes alluvial systems to cross channel pattern thresholds. Thresholds between pattern states based on occurrence fields are only available for ...

Fluvial-controlled metal and As mobilisation, dispersal and storage on the Río Guadiamar, SW Spain and its implications for long-term contamination fluxes to the Doňana wetlands

Macklin, Mark G.; Brewer, Paul A.; Turner, J. N. (2008-05-01)

Flood-related contaminant (As, Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn) remobilisation, dispersal and storage in the Río Guadiamar was investigated following the 1998 Aznalcóllar tailings dam failure, along with records of floodplain contaminant ...

Fluvial landscapes of the Harappan civilization

Giosan, Liviu; Clift, Peter D.; Macklin, Mark G.; Fuller, Dorian Q.; Constantinescu, Stefan; Durcan, Julie A.; Stevens, Thomas; Duller, Geoffrey Alastair Thomas; Tabrez, Ali R.; Gangal, Kavita; Adhikari, Ronojoy; Alizai, Anwar; Filip, Florin; VanLaningham, Sam; Syvitski, James P. M. (2012-06-26)

The collapse of the Bronze Age Harappan, one of the earliest urban civilizations, remains an enigma. Urbanism flourished in the western region of the Indo-Gangetic Plain for approximately 600 y, but since approximately ...

A geochemical record of flooding on the upper River Severn, UK, during the last 3750 years

Jones, Anna F.; Macklin, Mark G.; Brewer, Paul A. (2012-12-15)

Projected future changes in climate call for more definite information on the magnitude–frequency relationships of major floods than can be obtained from short instrumental or historical records alone. Floodplains represent ...

Geomorphological and sedimentological evidence for variations in Holocene flooding in Welsh river catchments

Jones, A. F.; Brewer, Paul A.; Macklin, Mark G. (2010-02)

Valley floor geomorphology, sedimentology and radiocarbon dating have been used to reconstruct variations in flooding during the Holocene at six sites within the upper Severn, Teifi and Dee catchments in Wales, UK. ...

A geomorphological approach to the management of rivers contaminated by metal mining

Bird, Graham; Macklin, Mark G.; Brewer, Paul A.; Hudson-Edwards, K. A. (2006-09-30)

As the result of current and historical metal mining, river channels and floodplains in many parts of the world have become contaminated by metal-rich waste in concentrations that may pose a hazard to human livelihoods and ...

Glacial activity and catchment dynamics in northwest Greece: Long-term river behaviour and the slackwater sediment record for the last glacial to interglacial transition

Woodward, J. C.; Macklin, Mark G.; Hamlin, R. H. B.; Hughes, P. D.; Lewin, J. (2008-10)

Pleistocene glacial activity transformed the runoff regimes and sediment loads of many river systems in the Mediterranean region. New data from northwest Greece show marked contrasts in ice volume and extent between cold ...

The glacial history of the Pindus Mountains, Greece

Gilmour, M. A.; Gibbard, P. L.; Hughes, P. D.; Smith, G. R.; Woodward, J. C.; Macklin, Mark G. (2006)

Geomorphological evidence for Pleistocene glaciation has been mapped in the Pindus Mountains of northwest Greece, and the chronology of glaciation in this area has been established through soil profile analysis and U-series ...

High-resolution interpretative geomorphological mapping of river valley environments using airborne LiDAR data

Jones, Anna F.; Brewer, Paul A.; Johnstone, Eric; Macklin, Mark G. (2007-09-01)

The availability of airborne LiDAR data provides a new opportunity to overcome some of the problems associated with traditional, field-based, geomorphological mapping such as restrictions on access and constraints of time ...

Holocene flood histories in south-western USA

Harden, Tessa; Baker, Victor R.; Macklin, Mark G. (2010-05-01)

River basins in south-western USA are some of the most extensively studied arid land fluvial systems in the world. Since the early 1960s their hydro-climatic histories have been reconstructed from the analysis of alluvial ...
