The importance of oxbow lakes in the floodplain storage of pollutants [PDF]
Geology, 2021 Abstract Oxbow lakes are important stores for fine-grained sediment, which potentially makes them critical sinks for sediment-associated pollutants. We leverage an exhaustive public archive of coring data, supplemented by our data collection, to provide a quantitative assessment of the role of oxbows as off-channel sinks. We investigated

Estimation of water volume in ungauged, dynamic floodplain lakes
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Lakes play a crucial role in retaining water and altering biogeochemical processes on floodplains. Existing strategies and algorithms for estimation of water storage are insufficient for dynamic floodplain lakes due to the scarcity of available ...

Single-Species Co-management Improves Fish Assemblage Structure and Composition in a Tropical River
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Co-management is increasingly recognized as an effective model for managing fisheries, but little information exists on whether co-management can produce effects in species other than the target species.

Paleohydrological changes in an Amazonian floodplain lake: Santa Ninha Lake
Journal of Paleolimnology, 2012 Holocene environments have been reconstructed by sedimentological, mineralogical and organic geochemical analysis of a 270-cm core from Santa Ninha Lake, a floodplain lake in lower Amazonia. Dated by fourteen AMS-radiocarbon dates, the sediment core has a basal age of 5,600 cal years BP and different sedimentary units were identified.
