Chris Clark, Andrew Fowler, Richard Hindmarsh, Chris Stokes, Felix Ng, Matteo Spagnolo, Heike Gramberg, Paul Dunlop Anna Hughes, and Sarah Greenwood have all been working on the project either mapping and measuring bedforms to learn about their properties or by developing theoretical and numerical models of how they might form.

We list some publications further below.

A Drumlin bibliography 

To aid drumlin researchers, here is a list of over 500 publications that we know of. Please help us update it.

If you really want to know how drumlins form

Check out this short movie that shows, for the first time, geophysical observations of a drumlin initiating from a flat plane and growing into the classical half-egg shape.

The landforming process took just over 2.5 hours, and we have compressed this evolution into a time-lapse movie of less than two minutes.
