Researchers from France and Canada propose a phase-field-based Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) model coupled with the Discrete Element Method (DEM) for simulating unsaturated granular media over a large range of degrees of saturation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Researchers from Colorado School of Mines studied the role of particle morphology in the interaction between fluids and particles in collapse problems and wave generation in multiphase fluid systems. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

(thread) Old joke about a new VC shared on our committee list: On his first day in office, he finds a letter on his desk from his predecessor and three numbered envelopes. The letter says, 'You will encounter crises in this job. When they arrive, open these letters in turn'

Last paper!We developed new experimental method based on 3D "Digital Volume Correlation" to -experimentally- track the mechanisms in play during the compaction of highly soft grains packing deep in the jammed state. journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1…

We have an exciting PhD opportunity, with a project that investigates coastal cliff failures in extreme weather. Project description and link to apply here: findaphd.com/phds/project/t… Don't miss this chance to drive climate resilience research! Tiago Gaspar Elisabeth Bowman

We have a 1-year postdoc position in Offshore Geohazards research in my department 🌊 This is an opportunity to work with me and Miguel Cabrera at TU Delft on geotechnical modelling of submarine landslides. Full job description and application portal here: jobs.ac.uk/job/DEF402/res…

Very pleased that the hard work of our former student Yuting Zhao has paid off with the first published paper from his thesis link.springer.com/article/10.100… #granular #debrisflows Andy Take Jim McElwaine Civil and Structural Engineering at Sheffield thanks also to The Leverhulme Trust for funding #RosettaStone

Call for abstract for #EGU2024! Submissions are open to our session "Debris flows: advances on mechanics, monitoring, modelling and risk management": meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU24/session/… Deadline is January 10, 2024 European Geosciences Union Marcel Hürlimann

In our new open access paper, published in Natural Hazards (Fidan et al 2024), we seek to further understand global patterns of fatal landslides. There are interesting basic differences in the settings of "natural" and anthropogenic landslides:- eos.org/thelandslidebl…

Honoured to welcome Prof. Kerry Rowe Kerry Rowe from @queensucivil, who is visiting our group and just gave an inspiring seminar on the challenges that climate change poses to dams, both old and new. Elisabeth Bowman Civil and Structural Engineering at Sheffield

Excited to share our latest research on debris flows and their interactions with mitigation structures at #EGU2024. Our numerical model promises innovative solutions for natural hazard management. Grateful for the collaboration! #debrisFlows #naturalHazard #Vienna

Thrilled to join @unishef as a Research Associate, delving into Offshore Geohazard research. Investigating submarine landslides' impact on pipelines using numerical modelling. Collaborating with @tudelf to enhance offshore safety practices. #OffshoreGeohazards #NumericalModeling

On 7 May 2024, a peat landslide occurred at the site of the under-construction Viking Windfarm in Shetland in northern Scotland. The event was captured on video:- eos.org/thelandslidebl…
