Functional traits of riparian trees in the lower Fitzroy River, Western Australia
Abstract Riparian trees are critically important for maintaining the ecological function of freshwater ecosystems. Globally, anthropogenic changes to water regimes are impacting the health and distribution of riparian trees. Understanding the physiological constraints on the distribution of riparian tree species in relation to the water regime is ...

Flood risk assessment and zoning using multi-criteria Aras technique and single hydrograph (Case Study: Upstream Basin of Soltan Meshkinshahr Bridge Hydrometric Station) [PDF]
Floods are one of the largest and most common forms of natural hazards, and identifying areas prone to floods is one of the basic measures in natural resource management and development planning.

Sediment supply control on morphodynamic processes in gravel‐bed river widenings
Mobile‐bed laboratory experiments combined with two‐dimensional hydrodynamic numerical simulations showed that sediment supply is a key driver of morphodynamic activity in reach‐scale dynamic river widenings. Sediment supply roughly balanced with the channel's transport capacity led to active channel widening and continued patchy sediment relocation ...

Investigation of the effects and evidence of late Quaternary glaciers on the Binaloud Heights [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to identify evidence of late Quaternary glaciers in the northern highlands of Binalood. Topographic maps, satellite imagery and climatic data are the tools and data used in this study. Arc gis 10.4 software was used for data

We evaluate the biogeomorphological impacts of seaweed on materials commonly used in maritime built heritage restoration. After 6 months of exposure to intertidal conditions, we found no evidence of enhanced deterioration of mortar prepared using natural cement when covered with seaweed compared to uncovered mortar.

Zoning and assessing the potential for landslide in the Shidri Chach basin using the ANP model [PDF]
During the last years, following an increase in damages due to occurrence of landslides, human has decided to reduce such losses. Therefore, identifying regions susceptible to landslide and classifying them can partly help man to prevent from happening ...

The role of riparian vegetation flexibility in a bio‐hydro‐morphodynamic simulation
We conducted a bio‐hydro‐morphodynamic simulation to clarify the impact of vegetation flexibility on river bedform development. The figure compares vegetation cover and height during a flooding of channels with flexible (top) and rigid vegetation (bottom). The figure indicates that flexible vegetation reduced its height.
