EFFECTS OF FOREST SUCCESSION ON RAM'S HEAD LADY'S SLIPPER (CYPRIPEDIUM ARIETINUM) POPULATIONS IN THE GRAND SABLE DUNES, MI
… is rare across its range, but the Grand Sable Dunes (GSD) on the southern shore of Lake Superior harbors the largest known population in North America. It thrives in jack pine (Pinus banksiana) islands throughout the dunes. In this study, I updated the population status of ram’s head lady’s …

Alongshore coupling of eco-geomorphological variables in a beach-dune system
ABSTRACT: Coastal dune systems are becoming increasingly vulnerable to erosion and washover due to sea-level rise and changes in storm activity with changing climate. The impact, however, is not consistent within and across coastal barriers and there is a need to examine the alongshore variability …

Towards realistic interactive sand : a GPU-based framework
… as splashing and avalanching, as well as static dune formation. Moreover, by utilising standard metrics taken from granular material science, we show that the simulated sand behaves in accordance with previous numerical and experimental research. We also support general rigid bodies in the …

Living near permanent water in the upper Murray-Darling Basin Implications from the micromorphology of buried soils near artesian springs
… humid with significant landscape changes with dune formation, landslides, and burial of the former land surfaces. This was followed by dry conditions and the familiar boom and bust periods with short humid conditions and long dry phases. The last 1,000 years is seen as a period of significant …

Several applications of a model for dense granular flows
This dissertation describes efforts to evaluate a recently proposed continuum model for the dense flow of dry granular materials (Jop, Forterre & Pouliquen, 2006, Nature, 441, 167-192). The model, based upon a generalisation of Coulomb sliding friction, is known to perform well when modelling …
