Horizontal convection

GO Hughes, RW Griffiths - Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech., 2008 - annualreviews.org
Differential heating along one horizontal boundary of a fluid-filled volume establishes an
overturning circulation (horizontal convection) in the volume. The governing dynamics in this …

Niche‐based modelling as a tool for predicting the risk of alien plant invasions at a global scale

W Thuiller, DM Richardson, P Pyšek… - Global change …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Predicting the probability of successful establishment of plant species by matching climatic
variables has considerable potential for incorporation in early warning systems for the …

Whole-field density measurements by 'synthetic schlieren'

SB Dalziel, GO Hughes, BR Sutherland - Experiments in fluids, 2000 - Springer
This paper outlines novel techniques for producing qualitative visualisations of density
fluctuations and for obtaining quantitative whole-field density measurements in two …

Visualization and measurement of internal waves by 'synthetic schlieren'. Part 1. Vertically oscillating cylinder

BR Sutherland, SB Dalziel, GO Hughes… - Journal of fluid …, 1999 - cambridge.org
We present measurements of the density and velocity fields produced when an oscillating
circular cylinder excites internal gravity waves in a stratified fluid. These measurements are …

Migration rate limitations on climate change‐induced range shifts in Cape Proteaceae

GF Midgley, GO Hughes, W Thuiller… - Diversity and …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
Modelling of climate change‐induced species range shifts has generally addressed
migration limitations inadequately, often assuming 'null'migration or instantaneous …

Endemic species and ecosystem sensitivity to climate change in Namibia

W Thuiller, GF Midgley, GO Hughes… - Global Change …, 2006 - Wiley Online Library
We present a first assessment of the potential impacts of anthropogenic climate change on
the endemic flora of Namibia, and on its vegetation structure and function, for a projected …

Potential impacts of future land use and climate change on the Red List status of the Proteaceae in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa

B Bomhard, DM Richardson… - Global Change …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
Using spatial predictions of future threats to biodiversity, we assessed for the first time the
relative potential impacts of future land use and climate change on the threat status of plant …

BioMove–an integrated platform simulating the dynamic response of species to environmental change

GF Midgley, ID Davies, CH Albert, R Altwegg… - …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
BioMove simulates plant species' geographic range shifts in response to climate, habitat
structure and disturbance, at annual time steps. This spatially explicit approach integrates …

Convection driven by differential heating at a horizontal boundary

JC Mullarney, RW Griffiths, GO Hughes - Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 2004 - cambridge.org
We report laboratory and numerical experiments with the convective circulation that
develops in a long channel driven by heating and cooling through opposite halves of the …
