Characteristics of direct human impacts on the rivers Karun and Dez in lowland south-west Iran and their interactions with earth surface movements [PDF]

, 2015
Two of the primary external factors influencing the variability of major river systems, over river reach scales, are human activities and tectonics.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Fluvial transport of suspended sediment and organic carbon during flood events in a large agricultural catchment in southwest France. [PDF]

, 2011
Water draining from a large agricultural catchment of 1 110 km2 in southwest France was sampled over an 18-month period to determine the temporal variability in suspended sediment (SS) and dissolved (DOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) transport ...

THE AESTHETICS OF URBAN METABOLISM: Landscape, Design and the Politics of In/Visibility

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, we chart the evolving aesthetic contours of urban metabolism across London, focusing on the River Lea and Thamesmead to the north and south of the River Thames, respectively. We begin in the nineteenth century, when these two sites formed critical nodes within a new sewerage system that relegated the city’s circulatory flows ...

Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

Hydromorphological classification of Slovenian rivers [PDF]

, 2010
This paper provides an overview of hydromorphological and related classifications of rivers in Slovenia and elsewhere. The Rosgen classification is presented in greater detail; it was used in the study as the basis for developing the first Slovenian ...

ICESat-2 for Fluvial Geomorphology

, 2022
ICESat-2, a space-borne altimeter launched by NASA in 2018, has the ability to resolve the ground at sub-meter resolution. Using novel filtering techniques and data I/O, we are able to visualize bare-ground transects of heavily vegetated terrain. This presentation was given during the 2022 ESIP January meeting held virtually in January 2022.

Early Holocene jökulhlaup chronology and deglaciation dynamics in central Iceland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacial lake outburst floods (jökulhlaups) have occurred throughout the Quaternary in glaciated regions worldwide. Reconstructing flood chronology yields insight into deglaciation processes, environmental change and the role of extreme events in landscape evolution.

Hydro-geomorphology, sediment transport and human impact in large South American rivers: preface

Latin American Journal of Sedimentology and Basin Analysis, 2021
The research on the hydro-geomorphology, sediment transport and human impact of large rivers has recently increased in South America. The GLOCOPH (Global Commission on Continental Paleohydrology) Working Group on Large Rivers chaired by us, organized ...

How have bridges and culverts changed rivers? A scientometric investigation

Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia
Bridges and culverts play a crucial role as connectors between river banks. However, these crossing structures alter sediment transport, flow regime, and river morphology.
