Bias in Peak Flood Discharges: Are Our Bridges and Culverts Undersized?

open access: yesRiver Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Reliable methods for peak discharge predictions at ungaged locations are required for infrastructure design and floodplain management. For decades, a standard practice in the United States has been to utilize US Geological Survey regional regression equations (StreamStats) as a singular method. However, implementation of multiple methods, such

From Rivers to Floodplains: Leveraging Transfer Learning to Predict Floodplain Dissolved Oxygen

open access: yesWater Resources Research
Dissolved oxygen (DO) regulates the dominant biogeochemical processes in floodplains and is an important water quality indicator. However, predicting DO dynamics with data driven methods in floodplains is challenging due to data scarcity, limiting our ...

DuckNet: an open‐source deep learning tool for waterfowl species identification in UAV imagery

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Using drones with thermal‐RGB sensors and a deep learning model (RetinaNet with ResNet‐50), we surveyed non‐breeding waterfowl across restored wetlands in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley. Our model, DuckNet, achieved high accuracy and offers an open‐source, customizable tool for automated waterfowl detection to support conservation monitoring ...

In search of socio-ecological resilience and adaptive capacity: articulating the governance imperatives for improved canal management on the Barotse floodplain, Zambia

open access: yesInternational Journal of the Commons, 2017
Governance of the commons through collective action remains an ongoing challenge in many rural areas of Africa. In this paper, we articulate how resource governance systems and proprietorship have affected management of canals on the Barotse Floodplain ...

A water level relationship between consecutive gauge stations along Solim\~oes/Amazonas main channel: a wavelet approach

open access: yes, 2013
Gauge stations are distributed along the Solim\~oes/Amazonas main channel to monitor water level changes over time. Those measurements help quantify both the water movement and its variability from one gauge station to the next downstream.

Urban Forests and Environmental Challenges in the Last Decades in Brazil: Insights for the National Urban Forestry Plan

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT National afforestation policies are crucial for outlining guidelines and goals to be implemented at the local level. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct research that systematizes indicators from across the country into a single proposal. This study examines the spatiotemporal distribution of urban forest research in Brazil from 1980 to 2020 ...

Building on piles in floodplains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Last year in the Netherlands 15 locations were allocated along the Rhine branches where – under strong restrictions - it was allowed to build in floodplains. Building in floodplains may lead to a water level rise during floods and moreover, the river bed
