Sorby Lab Suite

Welcome to the Sorby Lab Suite at the University of Leeds. Our facilities enable a wide interdisciplinary community to experiment upon a range of simulated natural processes, from flow-sediment transport links in alluvial channels, through the dispersal of sediment in the deep oceans, to particulate transport through pipes and rig vessels. Find out about our latest research projects and publications on our News page.
