Replacement of Cakile edentula with Cakile maritima in New South Wales and on Lord Howe Island

open access: yes, 2013
Two species of Cakile (Brassicaceae) have been introduced to Australia and the genus has been a common feature on the beaches of NSW for over 130 years; Cakile edentula has been present for at least 148 years (in NSW since about 1870), while Cakile ...

Riverine Migration Success of Salmonid Smolts Following Their Entrainment in a Hydropower Off‐Channel Diversion in an Upland River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salmonid fishes typically express anadromy. During their juvenile riverine emigration, their downstream movements can be inhibited by hydropower schemes that entrain fish in their intakes. Here, the riverine migration success of smolts of brown trout Salmo trutta (“trout smolt”) and Atlantic salmon Salmo salar smolts (“salmon smolt”) was ...

River‐Scale Evaluation of a Floating LED Light Array for Behavioral Guidance of American Eel

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exploiting the sensory physiology of migratory fishes to guide them away from hazards like hydroelectric turbines is of interest to regulatory agencies and hydropower operators to achieve conservation and management goals. Here we describe a river‐scale experiment where out‐migrating adult American eel (Anguilla rostrata) were tracked ...

Development and Improvement of Habitat Suitability Criteria for Instream Habitat Assessments Conducted in Support of Environmental Flows in Florida

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Florida's regulatory framework requires the establishment of minimum flows to protect aquatic ecosystems and water resources from significant harm. One of the primary methods used to evaluate significant harm is assessment of instream habitat, which relies on Habitat Suitability Criteria (HSC) curves that relate flow regimes and habitat ...

Study on the Characteristics of Tidal Current Velocity in Estuarine and Bay Areas

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series
Abstract In estuarine and bay regions, reciprocating tidal currents frequently constitute the predominant hydrodynamic forces. Nonetheless, there exists a paucity of research concerning the hydrodynamic characteristics under intricate tidal conditions.

Sea level and currents in the upper reaches of the Cochin estuarine system during October 2000

open access: yes, 2004
155-163Data on sea level, currents, salinity and water temperature collected in the upper reaches of the Cochin estuarine system (southwest coast of India) during October 2000 have been analysed to understand their variability.

Using Deep Learning AI to Detect Riparian Vegetation Recovery Following a Major Flood in the Brisbane River

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐flood riparian vegetation recovery demands significant attention; however, the complexity of traditional remote sensing methods often hinders environmental managers from implementing rapid vegetation monitoring. This paper developed a model using a Deep Learning Model within ArcGIS to classify and detect recovery of vegetation with high ...

Restoring Lateral Connectivity to Anthropogenic Riverscapes: Six Lessons From Stage Zero

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Centuries of river modification, particularly straightening and incision, have severely reduced lateral connectivity between rivers and their floodplains. As a result, Stage 0 riverscapes, characterised by high lateral connectivity (e.g., anastomosing or wetland riverscapes), are now rare in anthropogenic landscapes.

Multi‐objective optimization of reservoir refill operate considering energy storage and hydrological conditions

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Abstract Optimizing reservoir refill operation rules is crucial for enhancing reservoir sustainability and resilience. This study proposes a refill operation model designed to derive optimal refill guide curves by considering flood risk prevention, maximum storage levels, and the combined benefits of hydropower generation and energy storage.

Effect of wave-current interaction on the hydrological environment in a shallow river estuary

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Estuarine hydrodynamics, governing the interplay between riverine inputs, tidal currents, and coastal processes, are critical to understanding material transport, ecosystem dynamics, and anthropogenic impacts in transitional coastal zones.
