Impact of Changing Concavity Indices on Channel Steepness and Divide Migration Metrics
The concavity index, θ , describes how quickly river channel gradient declines downstream. It is used in calculations of normalized channel steepness index, ksn , a metric for comparing the relative steepness of channels with different drainage area.

Channel Migration of the Meandering River Fan: A Case Study of the Okavango Delta
Okavango delta is a typical distributive fluvial system, which is composed of a series of sand island-river-swamp networks. River migration in the Okavango delta is analyzed by using satellite images from Google Earth and Alaska Satellite Facility (ASF).

Remotely sensed mid-channel bar dynamics in downstream of the Three Gorges Dam, China [PDF]
The downstream reach of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) along the Yangtze River (1560 km) hosts numerous mid-channel bars (MCBs). MCBs dynamics are crucial to the river’s hydrological processes and local ecological function.

Towards a standardized characterization of the potentially migrating silver European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.) [PDF]
We defined a standardized method for discriminating candidate silver eels that may undergo catadromous migration in the following season from the sedentary fraction of a population.

European eel (Anguilla anguilla): prediction of spawner escapement from continental population parameters [PDF]
This paper describes the assessment of silver European eel (Anguilla anguilla) escapement based on a “sedentary” population fraction analysis in a 60-km2 watershed of northern Brittany (France).

Assessing the freshwater distribution of yellow eel [PDF]
In the global context of the decline in wild species, modeling the distribution of populations is a crucial aspect of ecological management. This can be a major challenge, especially for species, such as the European eel, that have complex life cycles ...
