Watch, and try not to blink: This is the world's best magic trick.

Always nice to see thoughts and fragmented research ideas turned into a painstakingly composed research paper. It's all worth the effort.

Check out my new paper on the sliding displacement of rigid barrier subjected to rockfall impacts, co-authored with the talented academics from @engunimelb, published in Journal of Engineering Mechanics by ASCE Publishing. ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.106…

Check out this new study that uses numerical simulations to provide insight into the mechanism of boulder falls and debris flows impacting on rigid and flexible barriers used to mitigate risks from #landslides nrcresearchpress.com/doi/full/10.11… #geohazard

Check it out! This paper investigates the re-use of waste glass by carrying out large-scale physical model tests to study dynamic response of recycled crushed glass contained in gabion baskets and its performance against successive boulder impacts nrcresearchpress.com/doi/10.1139/cg…

OK, does anyone else suddenly want an absolutely massive 2000kg wrecking ball for use in their lab? Or is it just me?

The BGA is pleased to announce that the 60th Rankine Lecturer will be Professor Stephan Jefferis. The lecture will be in London in March 2020 britishgeotech.org/news/2019/03/p…

When you ask your husband to do the housework... and he becomes a viral sensation (🔊)

I've lost my mind. I wrote Coronavirus Rhapsody: Is this a sore throat? Is this just allergies? Caught in a lockdown No escape from reality.

New paper in Geotechnique @ICEpublishing on the permeation behaviour of PHPA fluids in sand, co-authored with John Ejezie, PhD. Well done, John! icevirtuallibrary.com/doi/10.1680/jg…

The 60th Rankine Lecture by Professor Stephan Jefferis has been postponed until 17th March 2021 britishgeotech.org/news/2020/07/p…

I end the working week with this animation: simulation of a cd test of an initially normally consolidated clay using the Modified Cam Clay (MCC) model. MCC is illustrative to explain hardening plasticity, associated flow & Critical State Soil Mechanics. #AnimatingSoilModels

Anyone want to read about soil sorption in polymer fluids? Here is my (first) paper in Géotechnique Letters @ICEpublishing : icevirtuallibrary.com/doi/abs/10.168…

A new paper on the development and applications of debris mobility models in Hong Kong summarsing many years of local experience, prepared for a themed issue of the ICE Proc. Geotech. Eng. icevirtuallibrary.com/doi/abs/10.168… #ICEpublishing #landslides
