Flood risk trends in coastal watersheds in South Spain: direct and indirect impact of river regulation [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015
Spain is one of the world's countries with a large number of reservoirs per inhabitant. This intense regulation of the fluvial network during the 20th century has resulted in a decrease in flood events, a higher availability of water resources, and a ...

Wildfires increasingly impact western US fluvial networks

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Wildfires are increasing globally in frequency, severity, and extent, but their impact on fluvial networks, and the resources they provide, remains unclear.

Human impact on fluvial systems in Europe with special regard to today’s river restorations

open access: yesEnvironmental Sciences Europe, 2021
Climate, geology, geomorphology, soil, vegetation, geomorphology, hydrology, and human impact affect river–floodplain systems, especially their sediment load and channel morphology.

The sedimentology and depositional environments of the Bastians Dal and Muslingebjerg formations: evidence for the earliest phases of Jurassic rifting in North-East Greenland

open access: yesGEUS Bulletin, 2022
The aim of this study is to elucidate the character of the earliest phases of Jurassic rifting in North-East Greenland. To achieve this, detailed sedimentological analysis and geological mapping were undertaken on the outcrops of central Kuhn Ø (74°53’55’

Flood risk in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: A consideration of flood defences in a broadscale hydraulic model

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, 2023
A novel approach to consider local‐scale defence infrastructure in an urban environment, coupled with a broadscale hydraulic model framework, is applied to the capital city of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Landforms Associated With the Aspect‐Controlled Exhumation of Crater‐Filling Alluvial Strata on Mars

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Fluvial channel belts, the deposits accumulated in rivers surrounded by floodplain deposits, are sensitive environmental recorders. Across Mars, wind has exposed ancient channel belts via the preferential erosion of floodplain strata, creating landforms ...

Applications of Google Earth Engine in fluvial geomorphology for detecting river channel change

open access: yesWIREs Water, 2020
Cloud‐based computing, access to big geospatial data, and virtualization, whereby users are freed from computational hardware and data management logistics, could revolutionize remote sensing applications in fluvial geomorphology.

Flow depth estimates and avulsion behaviour in alluvial stratigraphy (Willwood Formation, Bighorn Basin, Wyoming, USA)

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, 2023
The size and geometry of river channels play a central role in sediment transport and the character of deposition within alluvial basins across spatiotemporal scales spanning the initiation of grain movement to the filling of accommodation generated by ...

Quantifying Downstream, Vertical and Lateral Variation in Fluvial Deposits: Implications From the Huesca Distributive Fluvial System

open access: yesFrontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Quantifying sedimentary deposits is crucial to fully test generic trends cited within facies models. To date, few studies have quantified downstream trends alongside vertical and lateral variations within distributive fluvial systems (DFS), with most ...
