Sophie Webber (University of Sydney), 'Flood protection as adaptation labour in Jakarta, Indonesia'
Dr Sophie Webber is a geographer in the School of Geosciences at the University of Sydney. Her research investigates the impacts of attempts to make adaptation to climate impacts ‘economic’ through market and financial instruments. She has conducted research about large-scale climate transformations in Southeast Asia and the Pacific region.

Kieran Dunne (TU Delft) 'Hydrodynamically-driven deposition of mud in river systems'
Here, we combine laboratory evidence and a field investigation in the Mississippi River delta to explore the controls on the riverine transport and deposition of mud. We show that the flocculation of mud, with floc diameters greater than 10 μm, in freshwater is a ubiquitous phenomenon, causing the sedimentation of mud to be driven by changes in local hydrodynamics.

Stuart Grieve (Queen Mary, University of London): 'Forest-landscape dynamics: Terrestrial Laser Scanning as a tool to link forest structure and landscape form in 3D'
Recent developments in Terrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) have unlocked our ability to quantify landscape and forest structure at unprecedented spatial scales, resolving individual branching structure and fine scale microtopographic variability in tandem. We have applied this technology to a collection of forest plots across Europe, capturing data across a climate gradient, and representing a broad range of species distributions and landscape forms.
