In a recent paper, '''Matthias Vanmaercke et al'''. (2014) attempt to get a better understanding of what controls the spatial sediment yield (SY) of the continent Africa. This is of importance as most global SY studies underrepresent this continent, despite expected large population increases and climatic changes in the nearby future. By applying correlation analyzes, the spatial difference of SY, observed for 682 catchments, can best be explained by differences in: seismic activity, topography, vegetation cover and runoff. The presented SY relation explains... [[Science_spotlights#Contemporary_sediment_yields_of_the_continent_Africa|more...]]<br><br>[mailto:csdmsweb@colorado.edu Nominate a science spotlight]

Dr. Elena Tolkova, a research scientist at the University of Washington, contributed her tsunami model, CLIFFS, to CSDMS. CLIFFS computes tsunami propagation, and runup on land with a shallow-water approximation. The model was recently published in ‘Pure and Applied Geophysics’ and brings a new approach to modeling of inundation associated with a tsunami wave hitting the coast. The model is exemplary in that it is formally benchmarked against a theoretical case, a tank experiment and the 1993 real world Hokkaido tsunami.... more...
