Inaugural Lecture of Professor Alistair Borthwick, Chair of Applied Hydrodynamics Water and Sediment: A Cascade across ScalesWater and sediment work together to move material, sculpt landscapes, and contribute to the carbon, phosphorus, and nitrogen cycles. This lecture will examine water-sediment processes over multiple space and time scales, ranging from the molecule to the ocean. We will see some of the beautiful, fractal forms created by Nature through such processes. The lecture will also consider mankind's interference with water-sediment processes, in particular the effect of hydropower dam cascades on large rivers.In the words of the great poet ..."To see a World in a Grain of SandAnd a Heaven in a Wild FlowerHold Infinity in the palm of your handAnd Eternity in an hour."Auguries of Innocence, William Blake (1757-1827)Further InformationProfessor Alistair BorthwickLecture VideoYou can view this video on the School of Engineering's MediaHopper or YouTube channels. We also have an Audio only MP3 version available.
