Conceptual diagram illustrating how sea-level rise creates mainland-fringing marshland, as well as how it affects existing marshes.
Sea-level rise & marshes
Conceptual diagram illustrating the 'Brunn rule', which is used to predict the landward movement of the shoreline relative to sea-level rise. This consists of developing an 'equilibrium profile' for the shoreface, which is shaped by the gradual release of wave energy approaching the shore.
The 'Brunn rule'
Conceptual diagram illustrating the carbon cycle relative to waterways, and the organisms that live there.
The carbon cycle
Conceptual diagram illustrating the clean water train, used to help visualize the concepts of managing a healthy water source.
