NEW ARTICLE: The dune effect on sand-transporting winds on Mars
Sand ripples on Mars (Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona) |
Our latest article published in Nature Communications demonstrates that local dune topography exerts a strong influence on wind speed and direction above the surface of Mars. Ripple movement likely reflects steered wind direction for certain dune ridge shapes. These findings highlight the need to first model winds at high resolution before inferring regional wind patterns from ripple movement or dune orientations on the surface of Mars today.

Investigating WW1 wrecks in the Irish Sea
A group of researchers from Ireland, Wales, Denmark and Australia have been awarded 15 days ship time on the Research Vessel Celtic Voyager by the Marine Institute (Ireland). The group led by Dr Ruth Plets (University of Ulster) aims to acquire high-resolution sonar and optical data which will be used for research into archaeological, biological and physical processes, 3D visualization and cultural heritage management of a number of World War 1 wrecks.
My primary role in the project will be to conduct computational fluid dynamic (CFD) modelling at select wreck sites with a view to understanding fluid flow, scouring and preservation issues, with the aim of creating effective management strategies.

Examples of wind flow steering over a foredune for three incident wind approaches
Chuffed to announce that my first article in collaboration with Patrick Hesp, Flow deflection over a foredune, is now available in press from Geomorphology. Patrick was the most cited author in my PhD thesis and its a real pleasure to be working with him here at Flinders. Here's to many more!
