Ecological Characteristics of Stream Reaches With and Without Low‐Tech Process‐Based Restoration in a Wildfire‐Affected Catchment

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Low‐tech process‐based stream restoration (LTPBR) is increasingly implemented following wildfire, underscoring the need to evaluate restoration outcomes in burned catchments. To help address this need, we measured abiotic and biotic characteristics of a reach that received LTPBR, an untreated reach, and a reach with relict beaver activity that

Meander‐Bend Erosion Dynamics Along a Gravel‐Bed River: Insights From Short‐Term UAV Monitoring

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riverbank erosion is a natural process in meandering rivers that contributes to sediment supply and geomorphic diversity, yet it can threaten infrastructure and human activities within the floodplain. Recently, many studies have used high‐resolution remote sensing technologies to measure bank erosion, but they often focus on technical aspects ...

Population Dynamics of Northern Pearl Dace Margariscus nachtriebi in Anthropogenically Altered Headwater Streams of the Nebraska Sandhills Ecoregion

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Empirical evidence of population demographic responses to environmental perturbations is a major knowledge gap for aquatic vertebrate populations. Extensive habitat alteration including channelization of headwater streams influences the habitat template on which small‐bodied fish are dependent to carry out distinct life stages and maintain or ...

BackPACK: Packing more into backprop

open access: yesCoRR, 2019
Automatic differentiation frameworks are optimized for exactly one thing: computing the average mini-batch gradient. Yet, other quantities such as the variance of the mini-batch gradients or many approximations to the Hessian can, in theory, be computed efficiently, and at the same time as the gradient.
