New ADV Despiking Method
Sam Kraus’s new ADV despiking paper was recently published in the Journal of Hydraulic Engineering. Kraus, S. A. and Strom, K. (2025). Simplified kernel d...
The FlocARAZI
In their recent paper, Osborn et al. detail an inexpensive and compact underwater digital camera imaging system (the FlocARAZI) developed to collect in situ hig...
Deicing road salts may contribute to impairment of stream beds through alterations to sedimentation processes
PhD student Ehsan Abolfazli recently published a paper in ES&T Water highlighting that runoff from the application of roadway deicing salts could lead to en...
How is silt size in a deposit related to current velocity and other flow and sediment characteristics?
This is a question we tackled experimentally with Brian Romans and Andrew Parent for systems dominated by advective dispersal of sediment. Results of the study ...
How does time spent on the bed impact the properties of flocs?
This is a question Duc Tran tackled in a recent paper (Tran and Strom 2019). Overview: Cohesive mud flocs in coastal waterways can go through repeated cycles of...
Limiting floc size to that of the smallest scales of turbulence in floc growth and breakup modeling
We are excited that Rae’s MS work on modeling of floc sizes was recently published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans. Kuprenas, R., D. Tran, ...
New Paper: The influence of SSC on mud floc size in a turbulent suspension
Duc Tran’s paper on the role that SSC plays in setting the size of mud flocs in a turbulent suspension was recently published in Continental Shelf Researc...
New Paper: Deposition of Clay in Gravel Beds
Our paper on the deposition of suspended clay to gravel beds was recently published in Water Resources Research: Mooneyham, C. and Strom, K. (2018). Deposition ...
New paper on lobe thickness scales in steep and sandy submarine fans
Our paper on the connection between hydraulic and sediment transport processes and channel and lobe geometry in supercritical submarine fans was recently publis...
New papers on mud transport
Two papers on mud transport from our group came out over the past few months. The first is by Duc Tran, where he shows that suspended quartz silt grains can bec...
New Paper: Flocs in a decaying shear field
Our paper on flocs in a decaying turbulent shear field, similar to what a packet of mud might experience in a river mouth plume, was recently published in JGR O...
