We use a landscape evolution model with repeated occurrence of the cyclone over a 1000-year simulated period to quantify the effect of pit–mound topography distributions on both sediment transport and landscape evolution by including the fallen trees into the digital elevation model both as a pit–mound and also as a pit–mound and tree trunk. The results show that the inclusion of pit–mound topography substantially reduced erosion for the first 10–15 years of its introduction and adding pit–mound–trunk topography reduced erosion rates even further. The pit–mound and pit–mound–trunk acted as sediment traps, capturing sediment from upslope and storing it in debris dams reducing hillslope connectivity. Model simulations predict average denudation rates for the catchment approximating field measured data. These findings suggest that any tree throw is unlikely to result in landscape instability.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:40 AEDT ]]> Prospects and constraints of post-cyclone housing reconstruction in Vanuatu drawing from the experience of tropical cyclone Harold https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40449 Fri 22 Jul 2022 14:44:26 AEST ]]> Historical variability of east coast lows (ECLs) and their impact on Eastern Australia’s hydroclimate https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31615 Fri 01 Jun 2018 15:24:21 AEST ]]>
