Microfluidic Devices for Bioanalytical Applications
… lithography is applied to fabricate the open channel patterns for biocompatible soft materials. Agarose gel and alginate gel are both patterned via this method. Atomic force microscope is used to character elastic moduli of both hydrogel surfaces including bulk and pattern surfaces. Three …

Characterising alluvial architecture using physical models, subsurface data and field analogues
… and preserved alluvial architecture at both the channel-belt and within channel-belt scales. The prediction of inter-well alluvial architecture in the continental Barren Red Beds of the Upper Carboniferous, Lower Ketch Member, Southern North Sea, UK, presents difficulties. Subsurface data from …

Braided rivers: an exploratory study combining flume experiments and the analysis of remotely-sensed data
… and dynamic morphologies as their multiple channels are constantly re-worked. The research reported in this thesis explored a number of properties of braided river form and dynamics and some controlling factors through three individual but complementary research elements. The first research …

Morphodynamics of large anabranching rivers : the case of the Madeira River, Brazil
Anabranching channels are the dominant channel pattern of large rivers worldwide. The top nine largest rivers of the world by water discharge, in particular, all develop anabranching channels. Given the limited understanding on large river morphodynamics and the mechanisms of formation and process …
