From Rivers to Floodplains: Leveraging Transfer Learning to Predict Floodplain Dissolved Oxygen
Water Resources ResearchDissolved 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 ...

Hydropower resettlement reshapes human–nature relationships: Insights from Southwestern China
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 408-426, February 2026.Abstract Understanding how hydropower migrants perceive nature's contributions to people (NCP) and how these perceptions relate to their subjective well‐being (SWB) is essential for informing resettlement policies that promote a good quality of life. How hydropower migrants' perceived NCP affects SWB remains poorly understood.

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 400-414, February 2026.ABSTRACT The pattern of flow or hydrological connection between a river's main channel and its floodplain can vary seasonally and spatially in frequency, duration, direction, and magnitude. Such variation is expected to promote habitat and biotic diversity.

Making Waves: The Effects of Whitewater Parks on Fish Passage in Colorado
River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 295-310, February 2026.ABSTRACT Instream structures have fragmented riverine habitats throughout much of the world, including the Western USA. Whitewater parks (WWPs) are relatively new instream structures designed to create hydraulic waves for recreational boating and surfing by constricting flows into a steep chute or drop.

Addressing Unwanted Morphodynamic Processes in Re‐Naturalization Projects
River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 507-522, February 2026.ABSTRACT River systems worldwide are undergoing severe ecological and morphological degradation due to prolonged anthropogenic interventions, such as channelization and dam construction, which disrupt sediment continuity and natural flow regimes. In response, river re‐naturalization projects have emerged as essential strategies to restore the dynamics ...

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT Water security in tropical regions faces escalating pressures from climate change, land‐use shifts, and population growth. We conducted a bibliometric review of 1146 peer‐reviewed articles (1964–2023) on tropical water security. Latent Dirichlet Allocation identified 13 thematic topics and their evolution. Publications rose sharply after 2012,

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.ABSTRACT Urban expansion significantly impacts flood risk, particularly in rapidly growing areas where impervious surfaces exacerbate surface runoff. This study examines spatial patterns of urban growth and their effects on flood exposure in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, from 2011 to 2021.

Floodplain restoration principles for the Avon Ōtākaro Red Zone
, 2018 The Canterbury region of New Zealand experienced a sequence of strong earthquakes during 2010-2011. Responses included government acquisition of many thousands of residential properties in the city of Christchurch in areas with severe earthquake effects. A large and contiguous tract of this ‘red zoned’ land lies in close proximity to the Ōtākaro / Avon
