The hydro-morphological index of diversity: a tool for describing habitat heterogeneity in river engineering projects [PDF]
, 2018 We present a new hydro-morphological index of diversity (HMID), a tool aimed for use in river engineering projects and firstly developed at gravel-bed streams in Switzerland, but intended for a broader use.

Geomorphic Responses to Post‐Grazing Recovery and Stream Restoration in Semiarid Grassland Streams
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semiarid grassland streams are sensitive to land use, climate, extreme discharges, and internal geomorphic thresholds that drive episodic erosion. Rooted in a process‐based philosophy and commonly applied to historically wood‐rich, beaver‐modified systems, low‐tech process‐based restoration using structures is increasingly being extended to ...

Long‐Term Morphodynamic Responses to Flood Diversion in the Lower Kano River, Japan
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fluvial morphodynamics—the interaction between water flow, sediment transport, and channel morphology—is a central concern in sustainable river management. However, the long‐term effects of flood diversion remain underexplored. This study investigated the decadal‐scale morphodynamic responses of the lower Kano River in Japan following the ...

Morphotectonic and Morphometric analysis of Vishav Basin left bank Tributary of Jhelum River SW Kashmir Valley India [PDF]
International Journal of Economic and Environment Geology, 2015 Morphotectonics interplays between the landscape development and the tectonics. Usually, the development of many geomorphic features has been related solely to exogenic and nontectonic causes but many of them are developed mainly due to the prevailing ...

Strategies for Assessing Post‐Wildfire Geomorphic Resilience in Semiarid Rivers
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We review and summarize diverse components of a catchment that can be monitored after wildfire to assess the geomorphic resilience of the river corridor in semiarid regions. We distinguish upland portions of river catchments from river corridors.

Spatial variation in landscape evolution of the Xiaojiang Region, SE Tibetan Plateau
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023 Both tectonism and erosion are presumed to have influenced the landscape evolution of the Xiaojiang Region, SE Tibetan Plateau. However, it remains unclear which of these broad processes has played the dominant role in determining landscape form and ...

Using morphometric and geomorphic indices to assess Western São Francisco Craton neotectonic traces
Geography Department University of Sao Paulo, 2021 Recently, geomorphometric properties of river networks and catchments have been described and applied as an efficient tool in the investigation of the landforms' response to neotectonics. Geometric parameters of the Cotovelo River catchment extracted from an Alos-Palsar digital elevation model were used to compute morphometric and geomorphic indices to

Evaluating methods for high‐resolution, national‐scale seagrass mapping in Google Earth Engine
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Marine habitat mapping using satellite imagery can provide baseline and monitoring data across large spatial scales and in remote locations globally. This study evaluates how key methodological choices influence the accuracy of open‐source (for non‐commercial use), cloud‐based satellite mapping workflows for seagrass meadows in the Maldives.
